The Album’s Conceptual Framework-A Television Flickering Through Time-Perfectly Suits Zeds Dead’s Sampless and Lets Their Obsession with Crate-Digging Evolve into a Widescreen narrative. What Makes It Exceptional ISN´T Merely ITS Technical Brilliance, But How it Transforms Cultural Fragments into Sub summation of a Sonic Tarantino Film with Dusty Samples, Sharp Cuts and Endless Style.
Sample Becomes Sorcery in the Hands of these Restless Dubstep Piones. “Bad Guy” Stands Tall Among The Tracklist, Interpoping Al Pacino’s Iconic Lines From Scarface In Menacing Electroclash Track with Vintage Breakbeats. Other highlights include “A Million Dreams,” Where Legendary Jazz Pianist Duke Ellington’s GraveLly Musings from A 1960s Interview Float Through Liquid Drum & Bass; and “Angel,” Which Channels The Raw French Electro of Justice.
For the Diehards, Zeds Dead Revist The Roots in “Hold My Hand,” Delivening a Gut-Punch of Nostalgia Through Hauunting Vocals Dripping over Bass So Thick it Could Coat Lungs. “One of these Mornings” Follows Suit, Threading Patti Labelle’s Soul-Stirring Voice Through A Stunning Dubstep Track That Thrums with Both Belth Reverence and Grit. You are achor tracks Return to the spectrum of intergalactic happinessTethering its Wilder Experiments to the Duo’s Foundation Sound.
The Origin of the Album’s Curiot Title is a Cosmic Coincidence, a Half-Remembered Dream Zeds Dead Tweeled Back in 2017 and Recently Rediscovered by a fan. According to a Press Release, “Return” Signifies The Revival of Early Sound While The “Spectrum of Intergalactic Happiness” Refers to The Radio Waves and Light of the Electromagnetic Spectrum, A Metaphor for The Unseen Threads Binding The Duo’s Influences to Their Production.
“In Making Return to the spectrum of intergalactic happinessWe Really Connected with the Spirit of What Zeds Dead Is. Throwing Whatver Crossed Our Minds at The Wall and Seeing What Stuck, “Zeds Dead Said In A Statement.” One of Our Biggest Inspirations for This Album Was The Idea of Not Letting Anything Matter In Our Creative Process Except for Our Own Taste. It is very art for art’s sake, and the product is submission we can remove Fully Stand Behind. “
