Every decent "Electrician" worth their salt has their own techno or techno-derived album. Let's start by saying (evidence in hand) that we're dealing with a good "Electrician", see the de-review of "On The Bright Side" by Sfasciacarrozze.
This is the fifth album of "Vladislav", "Sistol", "Luomo" etc. that I listen to, only the second "under" the moniker Vladislav Delay. I vaguely expect to experience pleasant feelings given the apathy I have (or perhaps think I have) for most of this type of music; even for myself, it's hard to understand exactly what I'm trying to review and why I'm doing it.
It's also necessary to make a disclaimer about the artist in question.
Point 1
Vladislav Delalay (for those who haven't figured it out yet) is not a real name but an artistic nickname. In life, on the civil register, for his mother, etc ... Vladislav Delay is Sasu Ripatti, born in 1976 in Finland. This premise might interest many other reviews, things get complicated considering the fact that Sasu uses a different name for almost every project; you can listen to him under the names of Luomo, Sistol, Uusitalo or Conoco ... so far, nobody understands a damn thing.
Point 2
It's necessary to clarify, so we exclude all other names related to other projects; for us, Sasu will uniquely be Vladislav Delay.
I research on the internet to churn out a few more words (lately I've had a slight problem of constipation in terms of written and whispered words ... imagine shouted ones), and here's what I find this page, really interesting initiative by the twitter user (perfectly unknown) to review albums by drawing, and I would add, also drawing in a pleasant manner.
"Entain" (year 2000) turns out to be a good album of hypnotic electronic, minimal ... electronic diced and "mosaicized" artistically.
"Entain" fits in a totally different way compared to "The Present Lover" (house ... and I say everything) or to "On the Bright Side", which is more classically techno-oriented.
With "Entain" we leap to a wholly different genre, maintaining the same umbilical cord, but landing in no man's land, retrospectives of electronics from all over the world and of all genres (idm, ambient, dub, tnt, cgil, uil, ici, etc.), fusions of sounds and blurred voices, an excessively daring album composed of 6 tracks, of which 2 are about a minute and a half and the other 4 about 20 minutes each ... terribly challenging... even though after the first 10 minutes of "Kohde" you get used to it.
A sinful start to an album that evolves for the better, leaving behind a bad initial impact, already with "Piko" the sound sensations worthy of a true artist of the caliber of Vladislav.
I really believe that "Entain" is the biological father of the latest work "Vantaa" by our northern favorite. First of all, I am surprised, I'm not at all disappointed with the sounds offered, the CD spins, the speakers pump out sounds, the volume is decent.
Excellent style, excellent attention to detail, induces sleep and on a January afternoon it's not bad at all.
