Oh, yes. When I was listening to Soup for the first time I couldn't help
thinking "It sounds exactly like Gescom 1, Darrel must have written the
whole album in good old 1994!". And their second EP may have so strong
hip-hop flavour because of Maddocks' participation. But Motor EP is just
Sean and Rob and it sounds so different from the usual Ae stuff, that
puzzles me :) I think that maybe gescom is something more conventional (like
techno, electro and hip hop), though I don't mean anything negative by
conventional :) And the Ae stuff is more experimental and IDMish, but
Minidisk doesn't fit into this frame :)

Nick.
