Among the morass of bands who’ve been shamelessly copying every post-punk record made between 1978-1982, London quartet Spektrum are the only ones who seem to get it, mixing a fidgety punk methodology with thrilling jabs of rave, minimalist electronica and global beats. In a more clued-up world, the twisted Afrobeat of ‘Horny Pony’, the jabbering synth funk of ‘Cedar’ and the quirky Casio pop of ‘Sugar Bowl’ would be huge hits, all of them simultaneously 30 years old and ten years ahead of their time. It’s just a pity that no one seems to care.
