I remember the NME and a few other mags raving about this when it was released - in contrast, I don't remember much being said about _Surfing..._. I guess this is due to _SAW 85-92_ getting more of the acclaim as they were both released pretty much around the same time. Whatever - _Electro-Soma_ is pretty underrated... || [CiM] || s.walley@uea.ac.uk || http://www.sys.uea.ac.uk/~u9323899/

Definitely. I pulled this out the other night and was surprised by how good it sounded. There's a good deal of common ground between B12 and Autechre, but B12's sense of sound is...different. I can't really put my finger on it, but am very much looking forward to the new record. Greg303/Gordon, any more news on it?

That's an easy one - Autechre knows how to work their Roland R8 drum machine, adding lots of dynamics & rhythmic variation; witness Flutter. B12 either are too lazy to work the rhythym tracks or they don't know how. Note that I tuned them out after ElectroSoma - maybe they've learned something about rhythm programming since then. Che
