Soma is the dark ambient and techno musical project of Australian composers David Thrussell and Pieter Bourke.[1] 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.[2][3] 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.[4]
