When I (ramen) worked at Borders at Fiesta Mall in Mesa, Arizona (Hi, Kai! Hi, Nick!), someone would always get on the PA around closing time and announce, “Borders Books and Music will be closing in 10 short minutes…”. I found this to be completely absurd, and would often complain, “no wonder it takes me so long to do all these dishes–they only give me short minutes…”.
This album is about not having time to finish. Most of the tracks are under a minute long. Some are longer. Others are finished. For the most part, this is what you get when life hands you the short minutes. The track list might grow if we can find the time to not finish more tracks, so watch this space! (What does that even mean? Watch space? WTF?)
I’d like to take this time to

We did the following interview with a Venezuelan reporter, and it was to be translated into Spanish. We never heard back, and I’m not sure if it was ever published in any language (other than Klingon, in which all of our published writings are archived). If anyone sees this interview floating around on the net, please send a link! -ramen
Part 1 (spoomusic.com, the label)
*Hi guys, what is spoomusic.com (genres that you work with) / since when exist / where are you/ which acts you represent
Ariel Gross: Spoomusic.com is an indie record label that caters music of various electronic flavors. I think the general term for the style on our label would be IDM, but other buzzwords that apply are Ambient, Synthpop, Minimal, Techno, and Space Funk. One aspect of spoomusic.com that I think is greatly appreciated is that we have built a foundation of free music. You can go to the web site and there are 26 albums that are available to listen to completely free. You can even download the majority of them in their entirety as high-quality MP3s. (more…)

Wellz, the ol’ March is over. It’s been a crazy month for your friendly friends at spoomusic.com. We want to thank everyone for coming to our three shows. First was the First Fridays art walk in downtown Phoenix with the power generators and the random old guys talking to sp00 whilst in the middle of trying to beat match three laptops. Second was the massively lovely COPPE + sp00 + Back Ted-N-Ted + Mike B. + Jas + Terminal 11 show at Modified Arts – are there guest artists that I’m forgetting? Probably. We got audio and video recordings of that one, which will eventually be posted here. Then there was the sp00 + About + Dirty Hasselhoff + Tokyo Bloodworm + ancient plague mummy massacre incarnate osiris show at The Paper Heart, which was the goodness. Thanks again everyone who came, we love you more than words could possibly express! Even words like eternally, undying, and googolplex. We love you forever + forever for your support.
In other news, Sleem of sp00 has been creating Sound Borbs. Sound Borb is a free ambiance generator. Sleem has been putting together some wicked sounding ambiances — you can download Sound Borb by clicking HERE and you can download Sleem’s Borbs here: Asylum, Snorx, Vioswarm, Honey.
In other other news, we have tons of amazing music pending, so hold on to your britches and/or your suspendies and prepare to blast off into the futuristic year of 600 billion trillion thousand.
<3 always to the spoo heads,
sleem + ramen + tinklesquirt

Well hello, dear friends of spoomusic.com — have we told you lately that we love you? We’re going to do so today in the form of two phenomenal releases! First up, a brand new artist to spoomusic.com, ladies and gentlemen Hasse B! /cheer
We know that you have all been desperately craving some slammin’ clipt-hop beats and our hero Hasse B has come to the rescue with A Hasse B Audio Input Device. These tunes project images of skyscrapers in the city and under-the-club basement parties, and you may very well find Hasse B within either of these locations. Listen to it immediately!
But wait! There’s more! We’ll give you the new Hasse B album, the knife set, the poisonour brown recluse spider larvae, and, for a limited time only, brand new live electrozonic mayhem brought to you by sp00 and DJ Kluge! Yes, it’s true, we have added a second live set to the Minimal Math Guild recordings by the name of Substring Theory. Act now and you can have all of this — absolutely free, no strings attached!
lots of love - your friendly friends at spoomusic.com

Holy shmokes! It’s the brand spankin’ new wjoo.joo.+ album, Full Moon Yawn! Five toasty tracks tickling you with glitch glissandos and mysterious melodies that slip in and slide around inside your ears. Our dear wjoo. joo.+ sprinkles specks of speech and oddness into the ripples of reverb and randomness that flow underneath the barrage of neck-breakin’ nanobeats. Don your favorite pair of headphones and immerse yourself. Do so now and you will be greatly rewarded!
Part two of our mid-month mayhem is sp00 vs. DJ Kluge - Minimal Math Guild. This is a fifteen minute live set recorded at an underground mathematics guild meeting. Listen to sp00 square the circle while DJ Kluge doubles the cube. End reading, commence listening.
sincerely, your loved ones at spoomusic.com.

Fable is a full length release that covers all sorts of musical territory. You will hear strong melodic ambience in songs such as 1 plus 2 plus 3 plus 4 is ten and merry go round lose focus. You will also hear oddly brutal trip-hop tracks like Worlwide Chaos Mantra and Why Do You Die. And, true to traditional sp00 stylings, there are just enough songs that sound like the forcable thrusting of a video game character into a weird real life fantasy to keep you grinning along the way. Experience the futuristic emotional peculiarities!

Please fasten your seatbelts as we prepare for blast-off into the vast reaches of space and time. Your spaceway pod has been equipped with the very latest in speaker technology and we can promise you an unparalleled listening experience. Please lower your protective face-shield and lock your gravity sockets into place. Our in-warp dinner will be freeze-dried vegetable paste garnished with squang. Thanks again for flying sp00 Intergalactic Spaceways!

We are psyched to give to you the new sp00 disc, titled Music From The Space Bar. This disc is an interpretation of the music that we heard on our many trips through space, visiting alien stations and planets of various types. We are aware that most of our listeners cannot afford to travel to the distant stars, so we have brought the distant stars to you…
