Osborne - In GearSpectral Sound, subsidiary of the Ghostly International label, celebrates the work of its prolific talent with the release of Spectral Sound Vol 2.
Osborne, or if you'd prefer to be more formally acquainted, Todd Osborn, is a double threat: part mechanical engineer genius and electronic mastermind. Not many producers can say they've been working on classified projects for the Air Force or build their own computers let alone lay down a plethora of tracks that resonate among critics and fans alike.
Beatport named Osborne's self-titled release one of the best albums of 2008, and rightly so. It takes you on a musical journey through the depths of electronic music, revealing the heart and soul that sadly gets lost among what (lately) seems like a sea of noise pollution. That may or may not be the direct result of the evolution of the technology that makes it easier to create and distribute as Osborne explains in his interview with Earplug. Suffice it to say he's made a career out of keeping the bar high.
"In Gear" is taken from the B side of Obsborne's third EP released on Spectral in 2004, Afrika. Other featured tracks include "Bout Ready to Jak" (his first release on Spectral), "Shift" and "Hydragil Exit" in addition to essentials from the rest of the label's roster like Matthew Dear/Audion and James T. Cotton. Bonus track time!
