Another awesome release by Gescom! In this ear-caressing triple helping of IDM pudding, you've got the Y2K post-apocalypse futuristic "Puzl", the elegant gliding glitchmonger "Go Sumo", and the chilled-out trip hop delight that is "Go Sheep". So glad that this got unleashed onto Bleep! You'll be seeing crystal Clear alright if you get this! ;)

Edited 4 years agoGo Sheep must be a derailing of Autechre's Basscadet (Tazmx). Go Sheep is like Tazmx played at half speed.

Edited 20 years agoOne of Autechre's Gescom collective's finest moments - three tracks that straddled the duo's period between dance floor accessibility and MSP-inspired electronic geekery, The Sounds of Machines updates Kraftwerk's legacy with stunningly original results that haven't aged in the 10 years since it was produced.
'Puzl' sounds like 'Metal on Metal', all hissing machinery and otherworldy percussion. 'Go Sumo' is possibly the group's most listener-friendly outing to date, a shimmering electro track, while 'Go Sheep' takes the former track's main melody and twists it round slo-mo midnight dub kickdrums.

The clear vinyl version of Sounds of Machines does not actually exist, despite being listed in some discographies...

Puzl makes judicious use of Cybotron's Clear (it also inspired the name of the label), a seminal tune from back in the day that many believe kicked off the whole electronic music shebang in the first place. Thank you, Juan Atkins.
