Musicology is a pseudonym (wow, bob, big words) for B12. B12 has released an album on the Artificial Intelligence series from Warp, called "Electrosoma". Most of the idm'ers seem to like it, but aren't doing cartwheels. Personally, I think the tracks on the AI comp are not so hot, but I like some of the songs on the album. I picked up my copy of Electrosoma used ($7), otherwise I would not have bought it. It's good, you should check it out. -boB

Yeah, i tend to agree - wasn't too impressed with the stuff on the comp, but I was really impressed with the stuff the ART 2 comp... Then I picked up Electrosoma and really liked it - all of it, except for the Musicology tracks. However, Redcell/Stasis is even better. Glad someone else on here appreciates B12. ------------------------------------------------|------------------------------ "categories strain, crack, and sometimes break | Harvey D.

B12 actually started out (still is?) as a record label. Musicology was an 'artist' on this label. The first ep was called the Musicology Ep and had the seminal _Metropolis_ on it. This caused a stir in Sheffield, was my most sought after track for months and the demand at WARP could well be the reason why 'B12' did stuff for WARP. My guess is B12 wasn't too successful as a label, it was pretty obscure - and expensive it was charged at import prices. Like Rephlex is now!!!! Grrrr! Anyway, as most of the artists on B12 were in fact B12 the 'group' that's what they became. Speculation over. The B12 record label releases are well worth hunting down. I have three. They're on nice colured vinyl and have lot's of groovy track writing on them. Music's good too! "Beware Future Bass Seven!" greg 3 0 3

ART is Applied Rythmic Technology (nothing to do with Artificial Intelligence). The compilation is called Philosophy of Sound and Machine... it's a joint release by Rephlex and ART, cat no ART 2 CD, I think... Cosmic
