I have fallen in love with this release. Anyone know why B12 retired, or what the chances are of me actually getting hold of a copy of this. Nowhere seems to have it. |

Its ok, Ive got it on mp3, but cause it's been deleted for years, actual CD copies of it are pretty rare. Track 2 (Hall of Mirrors) is fantastic, reminds me of the music from the game Rez but much better. |

It's among my Top 5 ALL TIME FAVOURITE ALBUMS. I can't tell you why, or what for, only the music of B12 makes me very, VERY happy. And this is the virtual Holy Grail of all electronic music. |

Excellent album...it's damn near perfect. Heck all of B12's music is just about perfect. As for Electrosoma....you can still find it on Ebay. I literally just bought the CD (Brand New-unopened...MINT) off Ebay last week and it came to $11.00 with shipping. Look around on there....Ebay usually has rare B12 stuff up all the time. Heck right now they have Prelude Pt.1 up for auction, but it's a little out of my range with Christmas here. As for B12...well, I don't know anyone personally that has contacts with them, but word of mouth has it that they have retracted from the music scene for good and have a successful life in banking I believe. The reason they stopped producing from what I gather was because the lack of attention and lack of any kind of music coming out of Detroit. I guess they figured it was time to move on. Damn shame too, because while they were heavily influenced by the mid-late 80's Detroit Techno...I feel their music, while similar in some regards was on a whole different level. There won't ever be another B12, I can't see anyone being able to recreate their sound. The closest I have ever come to someone else making a song that was extremely similar to anything of theirs was "LA Synthesis - Positive/Negative." It's as if Steve and Michael made the song themselves. The only way I can think of trying to get into contact with B12 would be through Ed and/or Andy (Plaid) or Kirk Degiorgio (As One/A.R.T. label). Both The Black Dog and Kirk were I suspect good buddies and even fellow innovators from what I notice in the linear notes. Maybe when that new A.R.T. releases comes out in Janurary (Balil is on it) there will be some way to contact one of them about B12. We can only hope artists go back to that early sound and it catches on again...then I'm sure B12 may surface again. |

That's far too responsible and informative a reply. Drink some alcohol and get into the Christmas spirit forthwith. |

Did B12 not play at the recent Seed Records gig? (Can't quite get it together to dig out the link) |

I never really understood the B12-thing until last night. I was driving home from the coast by myself last night and I put this album on, just to give it another chance. Each track came on and was a classic. I've been listening to it for a few years, andt I hadn't thought much of it, but then last night, the simplicity of the beats, the low-tech synths struck home. Greatness. |

this is still real easy to get. get the CD for sale on Discogs.com... http://www.discogs.com/sell/list?release_id=53102 but get the US TVT/Wax Trax! version cause that has all of the tracks on it. the whole Warp CD album and the one exclusive vinyl only track, which is in fact the best track on the record. i'm a huge, but new, fan of B12. i love them especially the newer stuff, but this album is just plain bland to me. i can't get into it other than, again, the one vinyl only track "Drift" which is brilliant. i'm sure i'd even like Time Tourist better though i don't have it yet. |
