Thanks for the info, Nuutti. It would be interesting to know if this
is the only film material existing on Sahko or if there is anything
else also...

Well, maybe in the case of Panasonic, most people find that stuff very hard
to groove or dance to. I have spinned their "Hapatus" once as a part of
my very few DJ sets at Tampere Yo-Talo (the local student club), since I
thought it is one of their most "accessible" tracks - somehow in the spirit
of Richie Hawtin - and people seemed to have received it quite well (=everyone
stayed on the floor, keeping dancing), but maybe it was because it was at the
end of night, when everyone was out of it anyway ;)

I unfortunately missed this gig, and I've heard there had been a bit of
mixed response to it. Well, some of the audience had supposedly been jumping
to the swimming pool by which 'Sonic had played, so obviously at least
someone was having a good time :)
