This cult progressive house favourite from UK duo Spooky first arrived on the scene in 1993, when the pair signed to William Orbit's own Guerilla Records. It didn't make a huge splash with critics at the time, but in the years that followed Gargantuan has steadily come to be recognised as something of a pivotal piece of the progressive house puzzle. Featuring the single Schmoo, which charted at the time, and the utterly lovely Orange Coloured Liquid as well as eight other British electronica gems, Gargantuan is getting the reissue treatment it deserves at long last thanks to 49North. - Flying Out
Gargantuan is the debut studio album by English electronic duo Spooky, released by William Orbit's Guerilla Records in March 1993.
Having established their place at the forefront of the progressive house scene, Spooky recorded the album in two London studios using analogue production.
The record is largely instrumental and incorporates rigid percussion and rhythms with melodic house phrasings.
The single "Schmoo" reached the UK Singles Chart, but Gargantuan under-performed commercially. It was however well received by critics, and today is regarded as a landmark album in the history of progressive house and British dance music.
