From Andrew Pekler: Typically, library music albums were not available to the general public but were marketed directly to film, TV and commercial production companies. Judging by the information provided on the record sleeves, the consumers of library music were assumed to have little interest in the identities of the individuals who actually wrote and played the music, the musicians’ names often being relegated to the very small print. Instead, it appears that the functional aspects of the product were of foremost importance; the persistently generic names of the tracks and their descriptions, durations and suggestions for their usage. With this in mind Andrew Pekler conceived and produced Cue. Starting from short expository phrases setting forth a track’s instrumentation, mood and development (reproduced on the back cover), Pekler attempted to construct pieces to fit these specific criteria. During the process of assembly a track would more often than not evolve beyond its prescribed limits (in these cases, the descriptive blurbs have been updated to reflect the changes).

Reviews
"6 or 7 years ago "Cue" was handed to me unsolicited at a Sonic Boom concert and it turned out to be the greatest musical surprise of the year for me. Now today it is one of the most wonderful and beguiling records of the past decade with a really quite unique and sublime sound. Still on pretty heavy rotation over at our house, there's nothing quite like it." - Tim Gane (Stereolab / Caverns of Anti-Matter)
