In the early '90s, B12 were the best example of Detroit's influence on IDM, and the reissue of Electro-Soma alongside a new compilation is a fearsomely beautiful work of electronic head music".

"The original Electro-Soma is a bit more concise and focused, but II is still a worthwhile listen for anyone interested in diving deeper into the history of early-'90s home-listening techno".

"Two of the duo's tracks were featured on Artificial Intelligence, Warp's groundbreaking 1992 compilation that helped establish techno as music for home listening rather than fodder for clubs or raves ... Compared to other debut albums by artists who were also included on Artificial Intelligence, Electro-Soma didn't quite alter the musical landscape on the same level as Selected Ambient Works 85-92 or Adventures Beyond the Ultraworld, but it has remained a sterling example of creative home-listening techno, and has endured as a cornerstone of the early Warp catalog".
