1) Spectrum is a project of Peter Kember, a British musician more usually known as Sonic Boom, and founding member of the band Spacemen 3. Sonic Boom's first solo album, Spectrum, was recorded in 1989 while Spacemen 3 were still together, and featured the other members of the group. However, when Spacemen 3 disbanded in 1991, Kember recruited new musicians for the group Spectrum.
Initial Spectrum releases carried on from the sound of late-period Spacemen 3, featuring conventional songs and a regular band. First single "How You Satisfy Me" was an original composition reminiscent of 1960s garage bands. 1992's Soul Kiss (Glide Divine) was split between songs and longer experimental pieces featuring drones and repetition, and Highs, Lows and Heavenly Blows (1994) was also mainly song-oriented. Occasionally Jessamine and Silver Apples have collaborated with Kember using the Spectrum name.
From 1996 the name has been used for Kember's solo work, usually with Pete Bassman (Pete Bain) from the original Spacemen 3 lineup and recording engineer/musician Alf Hardy. This material was often in the same vein as Kember's Experimental Audio Research project, reflecting an increased interest in vintage analogue synthesizers, especially those made by EMS. A new album was started with Randall Nieman of Fuxa, though put on hold due to other recording and live commitments.
In 2008, Spectrum reformed with Pete Kember, Roger Brogan (drums, samples), Nolan Watkinson (bass) and Rupert Bowkett (guitar) making appearances with the reunited My Bloody Valentine.
Continuing touring from 2008 through 2009, Spectrum were joined by guitarists Kevin Cowan and Jason Holt. The new line-up has released an ep entitled "War Sucks", recorded in Basel, Switzerland in early 2009 with David Maxxx of Psychic TV.
Spectrum continue to work on a new LP tentatively titled "On the Wings of Mercury" while Kember has produced the sophomore LP for MGMT, due out in late 2009.

3) Spectrum is an Australian band from the early 1970's.
Australian Spectrum was the brain-child of the eccentric song-writer Mike Rudd and his bassist mate, Bill Putt. They had limitted success commercially and remained an underground band. In the mid 70's they formed a more commercial unit called Indelible Murtceps (Spectrum spelt backwards) and often played a double set, one as Spectrum one as Murtceps.

5) Spectrum is an Israeli psychedelic trance project which was founded back in 2001 (as well as Spectrum records label) by Israel's leading, veteran Dj and one of its most influential figures, Dj Dede.
Dede has been active in the local and international scenes since the early psychedelic trance days, throwing free beach parties in 1992, and co-founding the legendary MDMA Records and Distribution in 1997.

Spectrum records concept is Dede's vision of the future of trance and its electronic siblings. Discovering those incredible talents and following them through.The Spectrum sound has been molded after experimenting with all trance grooves and can be best described as uplifting, touching yet powerful and juicy dance floor hits.
6) Spectrum
The Spectrum were a manufactured group, put together by British RCA to see if it was possible come up with a British equivalent of the Monkees. Despite exposure due to their feature in the closing credits of "Captain Scarlet & the Mysterons", they never had any luck in their own country.
The Spectrum made their debut with a single of "Samantha's Mine" and "Saturday's Child," issued in early 1967; it became more popular in Spain (reaching the number one spot) than it was in England. Their second single, "Portabello Road," was picked up by Radio London, the top pirate radio outlet in England, and played very heavily, however failing to make the chart. Their third single, "Headin' for a Heatwave," hit number one in Spain, and their fifth single, a cover of "Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da," reached the top spot in Germany during 1968.
Singing the title song in the end credits of "Captain Scarlet" failed to get them any significant sales, and the song was never issued commercially. Iironically, their presence on the title theme did give the group a bit of exposure in America, but they never were able to take advantage of this.
In the following years, after many changes within the group, they recorded two additional single and a LP entitled "The Light is Dark Enough", for RCA - after which the troup moved to Parlophone for one last single before they split up.
Keith Forsey continued to play drums with other artists, and became a major songwriter - co-authoring "Flashdance (What a Feeling)" and "Don't You Forget About Me", and several other movie soundtracks.
7) Spectrum is an ensemble formerly sponsored by Rochester College in Rochester Hills, Michigan.
8) Spectrum is a progressive metal band from Skopje, Macedonia formed in early 2016. Influenced by many other genres and post-genres, experimenting with their whole varieties of more aggressive vibe on one hand, yet on the other hand softer and more melodic, atmospheric vibe they create their own, unique and modern sound.
9) Spectrum was a seven-member K-Pop boy group created in South Korea (Seoul) in 2018, under the company WYNN Entertainment, whose genres are Pop and Dance. The group was originally formed with 7 members called MinJae (the leader), DongKyu, JaeHan, Hwarang, Villain, EunJun (the maknae) and DongYoon (past).

Spectrum Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're the queen of all you survey
All the cities all the nation
Everything that falls your way
There is a deeper world than this
That you don't understand
There is a deeper world that this
Tugging at your hand
Every leaf on every tree
Every sand dune in the desert
Every power we never see
There is a deeper wave than this
Swelling in the world
There is a deeper wave than this
Listen to me girl
Feel it rising in the cities
Feel it sweeping over land
Over borders, over frontiers
Nothing will its power withstand
There is no deeper wave than this
Rising in the world
There is no deeper wave than this
Listen to me girl
All the bloodshed all the anger
All the weapons all the greed
All the armies all the missiles
All the symbols of that fear
There is a deeper wave than this
Rising in the world
There is a deeper wave than this
Listen to me girl
At the still point of destruction
At the center of the fury
All the angels all the devils
All around us can't you see
There is a deeper wave than this
Rising in the land
There is a deeper wave than this
Nothing will withstand
I say love is the seventh wave
The lyrics to Spectrum's song Love in 2-3 are highly metaphorical and spiritual. It talks about the idea of an empire of senses in which an individual is the queen, who has control over everything that falls her way. It suggests that there is a deeper world beyond one's understanding with an incomparable force of nature that is tugging at one's hand. The lyrics imply that every ripple in the ocean, every leaf on every tree, and every sand dune in the desert has a power that we can never see or comprehend. Similarly, there is a wave that is deeper than this, which is swelling in the world, and the girl needs to listen to it.
The wave represents love, which is the seventh wave, and it is rising in the world. The lyrics describe the power of love as being greater than all the bloodshed, anger, weapons, greed, and armies in the world. It talks about love being an unstoppable force that sweeps over lands and borders, and there is nothing that can withstand its power. At the still point of destruction, in the center of the fury, where all the angels and devils reside, even there, love is present, and there is a deeper wave rising in the land. The song implies that love is a force that can transform individuals and the world, and it urges the girl to listen to this force.

No force, no resistance, and no power can counter this incredible energy
I say love is the seventh wave
This wave is love, the most profound, pervasive, and transformative force in the universe, and it's the seventh wave of creation

Steve is such a wholesome guy, I feel so bad that during his younger days people looked at him as weird or different. It’s so good to see society finally accepting others for who they are. Great to see him getting involved with the dating world.

I’m a single dad of a daughter on the spectrum, and this trailer makes me cry… it is such a wonderful and joyous series and it makes me so happy that we are (finally) making these programs that recognise and celebrate difference. Thanks Netflix, and thanks ABC TV Australia for commissioning the original series.
Patrick McCleary
I'm performing a ceremony for a couple that is on the spectrum. It's been really interesting helping them set up the ceremony and getting things Figured out and in place.I've had several friends that Are on the spectrum/Asperger's when I went to school and it's really came along way since the late 70s.
Tabaxi Khajit
Blessings to you and your family! This series touched me so deeply. Untested, I don't know if I or others in my family are on the spectrum, but I relate more to these people than most of the world. What the lady said about Ariel being unable to speak felt so true to me. This was needed. Good people living the best way they know how.
Yasmine Vine

ABBEY!!!!! I literally have chills. So happy to see Abbey on this show!
