to tell you the truth, the consumed, burger/ink, and
koner  experiments releases have basic channel=20
influences  but none sound exactly like basic channel.=20
you really need to get the basic channel eps (or
at least the bc comp cd) to get a feel for the real
sound of basic channel. i like all the releases you
mentioned before but all pale in comparison to
the basic channel releases.

The Substance releases have much more of
loopy percussive a minimal techno sound than=20
the other bc/cr cds. So stripped down is an
accurate description of it.
