Soma (band)

Soma is the dark ambient and techno musical project of Australian composers David Thrussell and Pieter Bourke. The collaboration began in 1993 when Thrussell approached Bourke about the possibility of remixing Eden tracks. The Eden remixing sessions yielded the first Soma compositions. Soma developed into a full-time project when Bourke moved in with Thrussell after a fire had destroyed his flat, allowing the two more time to work together.[1][2] Their debut album Hollow Earth was issued on Extreme Records in 1994 and was well-received critically, with Dave Thompson of the Alternative Press comparing it favorably to Kraftwerk's late seventies material.[3]

Discography

Studio albums
EPs
gollark: Generally I prefer devices I can operate somewhat one-handed, and have a laptop (+ terrible mostly broken 5-year-old tablet I got from someone else) for anything fancy.
gollark: It was somewhat hard to find a decent phone below 6" or so when I was looking recently (yes I am using inches for screen size, yes the metric system is generally better, do not kill/laser me), when the standard a few years back was 5" as basically the biggest you would get.
gollark: It's weird, since people's *hands* aren't getting bigger.
gollark: Alternatively, at least a nuclear-powered watch, so I can avoid the hassle of changing the battery every 7 years.
gollark: RTG-powered phones really *would* be convenient.
