Sputnik (1991, From the Archives) by Gary Rees published on 2020-04-09T06:00:14Z In late summer 1991, I started to create a form of electronica like what I consider my sweet spot today. Quirky pieces outside of genre and lacking familiar structure. Another of my 1991 posts, Evangelizer, is much the same. It's right after Sputnik on the old 4-track tape and even uses the same beeping satellite voice. I was 26. I wasn't yet a NIN nut and I hadn't started writing quasi-Industrial music. To me, these oldies compare with things I've been doing lately: Older People, Carpe Diem, Decameron Days. They seem to harken back to August, 1991 when I guess I was going through a creative tectonic shift. I'm sort of doing that again today. Seems a fine time to resurrect this short but strange piece. Hope you enjoy. Genre From the Archives Comment by John Carusone Good work never fades.
