Gel: is the alias of Julien Loquet from Normandie, France. He also records under the alias Dorine_muraille and had released a full album on Fat Cat label. "-1" is his highly acclaimed debut album which was originally released from the French Artefact label (now licensed by plop for the world territory). gel:'s tracks are really original and impressive because they sound pleasant as a whole but the structure is really complicated using fragments of various live instruments and electronics. this is still one of the best selling electronica album of all time in Japan.
