Album Review Chris Spear
Jon Gooch, aka “Spor”, has been a part of the dance music scene since 2006. He has released a number of EPs and albums under a few different performance names and his latest release is under his drum n bass persona, Spor. Since quarantine began, he has been teasing his fans with the release of Anachronic. He even performed it live with visuals he created himself on UKFs YouTube channel. On July 24, Anachronic was finally released, and I have listened to it multiple times a day since. The first track on the EP, “In Rixa,” greets us with a mixture of strings and rich vocals. When the beat drops, there are his signature snare triplets, accompanied by his warbled synths and basses. You get a good idea of Spor’s sound design throughout the tune, as he immaculately blends the more beautiful high frequencies and darker low end tones. “Beam Cannon” is a monster of a track. The way Spor blends a slap bass with a warped distorted bass is one of the reasons I always get excited about his music. He always finds a way to make something sound new and different. Each time the track gets to the chorus it evolves and finds a way to be more intense than the previous iteration.
