Has anyone picked up Mika Vainio's newest? I believe he's part of
Panasonic, isn't he? Anyway, the release is under his O moniker and is
out on Pi Recordings, which is a division of T&B Vinyl. It's quite stunning.
Three incredibly sparse funky cuts on featureless black vinyl. All three
tracks develop *so* subtly and have this brilliant cold emotionality to
them. The third cut, 'Olematon', is the mack-daddy though. :) Downtempo,
bass-heavy, haunted-house electro unlike anything you've ever heard. A
worthwhile purchase to say the least. :)

kind of sounds like you've heard it before, then it's not techno."
