I feel the same way - 'Motor' does have some nice qualities, although it's not as adventurous as say, 'Cichlisuite'. Key points for me are the "angry"-sounding synth stabs that are used on several tracks, and in general the subtle shifts/tweaks of the timbres used.

IMO the best Gescom release is the original 'Key Nell', which seems to be where the hip-hop feel started coming into their music. 'Sounds of Machines..." is a great piece of electro though. GD
