Gel-Sol - Music Made For You... And By You I Mean Me




Gel-Sol - Music Made For You... And By You I Mean Me (Gel-Sol Music, 2003) (320)
Gel-Sol - Gel-Sol 1104 (Em:t, 2004) (320)

Review found from an ebay auction:

Although officially known as em:t release 1104, this album also goes by the name "Music Made For You... And By You I Mean Me".

This is an absolutely stunning album. There's similarities to mid-period Orb releases, especially "Orblivion", as well as Irresistible Force and Pete Namlook's collaborations with Bill Laswell. Layers of warm, comforting synths and some dub-influenced basslines and beats, weirdo samples and a general feeling of detached, enveloping harmony. The only oddball track on this is the somewhat Squarepusher-esque "Numby Numbs", which is a bit of a breakbeat departure in the middle of the album but doesn't derail things too badly. Overall, a superb album and a welcome addition to the em:t lineup.
