XCD-028 Soma – Hollow Earth

“What if KRAFTWERK had begun not in 1970, but today, with all of our current technology? What would they sound like? The answer to that is SOMA!!” – Dave Thompson, ALTERNATIVE PRESS.

SOMA is a diverse amalgamation of seemingly incompatible yet consumer friendly techno / reggae / digital / Spaghetti Western / wimpy ambient / analog / industrial / new age / organic / zippy / flaky influences. “Hollow Earth” has 13 tracks, is over 74 minutes in duration and sounds savagely contemporary.

SOMA secretly likes to be different.

SOMA is a collaboration between David Thrussell and Pieter Bourke of Australian obscurities and international neophytes SNOG and BLACK LUNG.

SOMA has been described as:-

“Engrossing, dazzling in its scope and perhaps the most fully realised pastiche of dramatic experimental ethno-funk to come down the pike yet, SOMA is the ideal prescription for whiling away time late at night during a full moon in the Interzone” – Darren Bergstein, I/E;

“Like KRAFTWERK before them, SOMA relentlessly experiment with sound, but like the best of KRAFTWERK (say Man Machine-era), it is instantly accessible. SOMA is the electronic music of the future.” – Dave Thompson, ALTERNATIVE PRESS.
