Spectrum is a Disco act. Their sound grew out of The Black Angels, Pink Floyd, Soft Machine, Traffic and Daddy Cool. Those roots explain a lot about how Spectrum arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Sonic Boom, Spiritualized, Loop, Bardo Pond and Flying Saucer Attack, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into MGMT, TISM, Cold Chisel, Marcia Hines and Sennen, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation.
