Steve Moore will release an album called Pangaea Ultima through Spectrum Spools on December 16th.
The synth composer's most recent album is a soon-to-be-released collaboration with Daniel O'Sullivan as Miracle for Planet Mu—though he's also put out two solo LPs under his own name this year: Positronic Neural Pathways on VCO Records and the Horror Business LP for soundtrack fetishists Death Waltz Recording Co (though the latter was originally self-released in 2012). Pangaea Ultima is his first record for Spectrum Spools, the experimental label run by John Elliott.
The album sees Moore exploring his existential side—"Does a past, present or future even matter to the yet-to-exist events of ungraspable and fundamental ecological time?" the press release asks—while the LP's title is taken from the name scientists have given to a "future super-continent that is suggested may form on earth in the next quarter-of-a-billion years." The record itself explores the possible nature of this continent—its size, formation and terrain. Sound-wise, you can expect Moore to explore the more melodic and experimental end of his palette.
