Guest telikan Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Sounds nice-- I forgot how rhythmic and melodic Vainio's stuff can be. Although I often find myself wishing I could hear some of his music without as much reverb Last recent thing of his I heard that wasn't Pan Sonic was "Revitty", which was fucking harsh, but this sounds like a nice change of pace.

azatoth Posted June 25, 2008 Author Share Posted June 25, 2008 vainio's stuff as Ø has always been more melodic and minimal sort of techno. kinda prefer it more than pan sonic stuffs and the stuff he releases under his real name. his stuff as philus, especially the 'tetra' album must be the most minimal and clinical sounding ambient ever. very austere, but oddly fascinating.

six Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 I've never liked this guy's stuff and couldn't see what the big deal was, but judging by samples, this sounds awesome. Don't know if this is a big departure from his usual stuff or if I just have heard old albums, I'll def be checking this out though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azatoth Posted June 26, 2008 Author Share Posted June 26, 2008 i can agree that Ø and his other stuff is an acquired taste. i didn't like it before along with pan sonic, but then one day it all hit me hard and i like his and pan sonics stuff alot.

khov Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 sounds pretty gut, except that i can't keep up with all those releases.. so many stuff to check & i dont have enought time to appreciate the numerous records i bought recently... (like those 4 hours of quaristice that i barely listen to even if i know its great). but yeah the samples sounds good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

azatoth Posted July 2, 2008 Author Share Posted July 2, 2008 yes, got this today. it's very good. kinda a mix of the early Ø albums and the kantamoinen album with some nice ambient numbers in the end of the album. u-bahn is a very cool track.

azatoth Posted July 2, 2008 Author Share Posted July 2, 2008 the later ambient pieces remind me of ilpo väisänens & co. latest angel project 'kalmukia'. i guess it's the guitar and the droneyness. atmospheric. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tetracore Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 have enjoyed the 'Ø' stuff in the past, especially 'Kantamoinen'. If you guys haven't already, check out Ilpo Vaisanen's (other guy in Pan Sonic) solo album 'Asuma'. love it. will be looking for this soon.
