Gargantuan is the debut studio album by English electronic duo Spooky, released by William Orbit's Guerilla Records in March 1993.
Having established their place at the forefront of the progressive house scene, Spooky recorded the album in two London studios using analogue production.
It was however well received by critics, and today is regarded as a landmark album in the history of progressive house and British dance music.

[11] Spooky became one of Guerilla's most successful artists,[12] and Resident Advisor writes that the duo remain best known for Gargantuan and its singles "Schmoo" and "Little Bullet".
He noted the album's "epic singles" being compiled alongside "excellent new material" like "Little Bullet," and although he felt several of the tracks were "a bit predictable", the duo's "melodic sense and percussive edge rarely misfire.
While complimenting the "imaginative electronic layers" and pulsating grooves, he also highlighted a "heady, pre-digital innocence and joy at play in this album, which is refreshing to encounter anywhere you like.
