GEL-SOL
Seattle-based Prog Rock fan and Ambient producer Andrew Reichel aka Gel-Sol is my personal hero. I'm not kidding! He didn't save my addle-pated cat from a tree, for I don't own a cat. He didn't even save my life, for I don't have one either. But he accomplished something that lets me speak of him in the most glowing terms: harking back to the typical Ambient House extravaganza of bands like The Orb while at the same time refining their synth-heavy and sample-laden formulae with his own unique blend of Space Age rocket eruptions, television advertisement idiocies and gargantuan melodies that glow and shine in multiple colors.
