have you heard the keynell ep? SKAM have reissued it on cd-definately worth picking up-just waiting for skam to reissue 'cicada' now. snackwitch is good tune as well....

yes of course i know keynell, i like almost everything of gescom. theres a difference to the other autechre releases but i can't say what it is. skfl i'm not sure where it is from, but its definately from gescom because i've read somewhere its the second part of skfl...and skfl (the first track) is great too. i have a question...in the UK is there electronic more popular than here? here: nobody does listen to it..i mean in my city, nobody even knows aphex, ae, squarepusher...its sad.

well-the artistrs you mention have a strong underground following over here-a lot of the people i know are into chart stuff, crap indie pop, or just generally dislike dance music-each to their own, but i think in general, people can be quite lazy when it comes to finding decent music-as i say, each to their own but it strikes me as a bit of a shame that the charts over here dictate what people buy/gets played on the radio etc-its all a big media buisness game that has little to do with quality.

but i do believe america is a pretty anti electronic music country compared to others.
gescom gets big points in my book. im not familiar with those songs(cause i never keep track of song titles) but i really like their stuff. autechre as well.

you probably couldnt say gescom is better or worse than ae. i wouldnt anyway but i usually tend to shy away from comparing anyway. but they are definetly both good. slightly different flavors from the same soup bowl.

GESCOM is a collaboration of up to twenty artists, not necessarily working as a whole unit but as a collective-it is often mistaken that only shaun and rob have anything to do with gescom-darrel fitton (bola) is a regular contributor. then again there are similaritie sbetween ae and gescom, whic are subtle and difficult to identify-worth a lisen in my book...

i love gescom. autechre in the early days. but you're right "KEN", it doesn't matter how many people listen to music, this has nothing to do with quality...the majority can be wrong too ;)

well the thing is if a tunes a tune i really couldnt care less who's made it, behind it- i genuinely dont care as long as its good. i think its important to think like that-it makes you less blinkered to stuff- the drawback with the record industry over here is that that approch isn't promoted enough-i mean thank god we've got the like s of john peel-a man i admire because at least a third of the music im into i heard on his radio show-i can remember hearing 'digereedoo' when no-one had heard of aphex twin-and he's still ahead of the pack in what he plays. its just a shame only certan styles of music are given such a huge platform-and so much of it is tripe-it is bad music. sure, if people get off on that fine-as i say, each to their own-id just love to be able to introduce the music i love to these people -not in a patronising-'this is what you SHOULD be listening to' way, but just for them to have a listen and see what they think-for example, im sure that a lot of people relate drum and bass to its commercial use for fucking air freshner adverts, -y'know what i mean?-if some could look past the robbie williams and kylie minogues of this world, they'd find a whole spectrum of music that they might dig.
