While Spartacus R have much local industry and musician support, the music itself differs considerably from that around NZ at the moment. It follows a lineage of music with histories more likely to be found in parts of germany, England or the states. Taking inspiration from bands such as Radiohead, Can, and Pink Floyd.
"I am completely musically `turned on` by Spartacus R. Their music is is well crafted and intricately sincere. Fresh, contemporary retro, and completely unpredictable...Beautiful." -- Warren Maxwell, Founding member TrinityRoots, Fat Freddys Drop and The Little Bushmen.
"I've seen Spartacus R grow over the last 5 or so years and have always found their sound exciting, challenging and thoroughly enchanting. I was honored to help them produce their first full-length album and feel that it has truly captured something special, something that often only gets heard in a live environment. Sit back in a comfy chair with a nice drink, turn off the phone and let it envelope you. This album is something special, it won't appeal to everyone, but it is the kind of music that everyone should listen to." -- Lee Prebble, Audio Engineer, The Surgery.
