Expert musicianship, top shelf production value, and anachronistic genre bending define Jack Spence’s Bamboo Sun and place this mysterious album in a rare air apart from the murky stream of innocuous music being unspooled from 4-track machines through the global network of the DIY cassette community of the 1980s. Bamboo Sun probes in all directions, an exploration of form and function, from ambient escapism to samba electro to proto-techno. Who was Spence making this music for? If an audience of one, who was Jack Spence?
