The second of the live sessions Autechre did with John Peel, Peel Session 2 is all original material, much like the first, and has some of the most overlooked material in the duo's catalog, also like the first. This particular session was recorded in the summer of 1999, a little while after their illustrious EP7 was released, and shows Autechre working with some beauty on opener "Gelk" before diving into the rigid on the other three tracks here. Though the flow between songs isn't that great, that's something one will come to expect from the duo, though the individual songs themselves have clear, nuanced, and tightly-woven progressions that flow marvelously. You should like this if you enjoyed the projects that preceded it, but "Gelk" is definitely something anyone remotely familiar with Autechre should hear.
