"Mika Vainio's next solo album is on the way via Touch music, titled Magnetite it's due for release on 3 September. The seven track album will be his 5th for Touch, and was recorded in Berlin between 2011 and 2012. Touch say the album moves "between the two poles of silence and noise"."

There was a little time frame I got really interested into Vainio, Hausswolff and Elggren. But since Hausswolff and Vainio keep their material more and more minimal it's really some kind of boring book you put on the shelf again after two pages.

Well, the only exception I would make is Vainios Collab with Noto years back and the splits he has done with Kouhei.

his live performances seem to be a lot more extroverted and beat oriented though

Vaino and Kouhei did something with Sean Booth (you know, that autechre guy) as well, right?

enjoying this quite a bit. i wish some of the tracks weren't so disjointed, but there are some wonderful moments throughout the album. makes me wish for new pan sonic though

watmmers are down on Mika Vainio now? This distresses me; his stuff is tops. This record is on my list for sure.

[kichiguy]

i haven't heard this one yet, but i've enjoyed almost all his records with the exception of that japanese release with field recordings from a hospital.

[khov]

That "hospital" record (released in japan but recorded in germany) was not made of field recordings, its more quiet than the usual Vainio music but i like it a lot.

Recent live recording of Mika Vainio on video & of course, it's bloody good :

I found his recent material to be somewhat boring, including this one.

Yes.

 

But it was a kinda gash experimental thing that certainly didn't add up to the sum of the parts...
