Aspen 'album' - 1998

'album' is the primer to Smith's sonic agenda, inspired by music of and beyond the dancefloor. The sound springs from his love for guitar bands (like Slowdive and My Bloody Valentine), the post-dance envirotronics of labels like Fat Cat and Warp and artists like the Aphex Twin. Fused together these influences create 'ambisonics', lush hypnotic soundscapes underpinned by electro rhythms. 'album' details the development of the artist, a series of tracks recorded over a long period of time in a multitude of different environments. A compilation of ideas over this period, 'album' represents Smith's striving to develop a natural and cohesive sound.
