TECHNO
- Berlin-based VLADISLAV DELAY (aka, LUOMO) releases a second techno
album under his UUSITALO guise. Each track is inspired by Finnish literature,
and is a tribute to his author father and grandmother. The title of the album, "Tulenkantaja" (a
flame bearer), is taken from the name of a radical literary group in Finland
in the early '40s to which his grandmother was a part of.
- Delay takes the best parts of Cologne and Berlin and transforms them
into a method of storytelling that incorporates organic beats and rhythms
close to the heart.
- Here, Delay plays around with strange time signatures so subtly that
you wouldn't notice if it wasn't 4-to-the floor but maybe 5 or 6 or 9-and-a-half.
He creates poems with beats, telling stories with those intricate rhythms
and bass lines. He invites interesting sounds that include living elements,
mistakes, drums and field recordings. He synthesizes the synthesizer, and
says goodbye to the drum machine looping the same loop & instead plays
the loop himself.
- A true rhythm fanatic, on this record he searches for the patterns
and rhythms more than ever. On this record he demonstrates not only his unique
studio and production skills, but also the ability to speak and express himself
highly in musical terms.
- On Tulenkantaja, he makes techno which may not be techno at all. Except
that it is for him. There are excerpts from his father and grandmother in
the booklet included with the CD, as well as a beautiful graphic design to
enhance the experience made by long-time collaborator Kaisa Kemikoski. This
time techno has a story to tell.
OTHER MUSIC "There may be a snowy landscape gracing the cover of this
one, but inside the cuts are warm and melting, with beats interacting with
the dubby subtleties and sliding all over the place, taking on new configurations
around every turn" (Quote is on sticker on the stock)
