I, Absentee - Lunar Testing Lab

Lunar Testing Lab

Lunar Testing Lab is Eric Watson of West Pennsylvania. A massive vinyl enthusiast, he carries a longtime fascination for outer space. Eric began the Lunar Testing Lab project around 2004, frequently making signature use of shortwave radios, alongside his heavy sampling prowess. Finding obscure rhythms from his vast collections of jazz, lounge, soul, funk, electronic and more, his results are a sound highly unique and very...Area 51. LTL first surfaced as a part of Black Moth Super Rainbow's MP3 remix series, alongside acts such as Milieu and Dorosoto (both of whom went on to collaborate with him). He then appeared on our 'Birth Certificate' compilation, with the track 'Luna 2'. A full-length for the label, "Space Program", was completed and released in autumn 2008. The album was book-ended by a pair of self-released companion discs from Lunar Testing Lab; "Space Debris" and the "Space Transmission" CD/DVD. In 2009, LTL self-released his "Seashore Blvd." EP, as well as being subject of the third installment of I, Absentee's 'The Twilight Fires' remix series. Early 2010 saw the release of his "Unauthorized Frequencies" EP, followed that summer by his sophomore album "Surveillance Tapes".
