He's one of a very few artists I would travel to see that I've not. Wish I could have made that Oto gig.

The gig in Oto was amazing. Within 10 seconds, he made all the other musicians seem antiquated. It was genuinely astonishing.

Good timing for me. I just listened to Multila and Vocalcity for the first time last month (And Whistleblower today)

The hype is well-earned!

Whistleblower vinyl would be absolutely fucking wild.

Was playing my LP of Vapaa Muurari yesterday, stunning release.

https://www.discogs.com/Uusitalo-Vapaa-Muurari/release/34070

Most of his back catalogue is surprisingly good value too. I imagine that will change in years to come.

yeah - grabbed vapaa and entain for reasonable prices not long ago. 

I had listened to Entain quite a while ago, but for some reason or another it didn't grab me. I've absolutely loved everything I've heard of his since then. Well...The Present Lover might've had the euro house cheese turned up just a *bit* too high for me, but aside from that it's all top notch.

Love how this guy goes from interesting precise sonic fuckery to "euro house cheese" as NI64 calls it above and back seemlessly. There's a lot of his career I haven't heard yet, so I look forward to catching up more and listening to this once it's out.

Gents,

Multila is here: https://vladislavdelay.bandcamp.com/album/multila

Rakka is out and it kicks ass

 hell yea

!!!

Pretty good! Might need a few more listens to see if it's among his best. I get tired of the harsher textures but it's thankfully a shorter release so less chance of fatigue. Love the contrast of the sharper sounds against the windy ambiance.

Thanks VLAD

Any news of a Rakka CD?  I struggle with stuff like this on wax.

This is VIOLENT.

I love it.

No CD but here https://vladislavdelay.bandcamp.com/album/rakka

Only heard the Boomkat previews so far but ...... WOW ! Can't wait to purchase and listen to the full thing, kinda Ben Frost-y freezing-cold-anger but with flickers of full on techno shenanigans and quick OPN - GoD asides

That's my only concern mind - The relentlessness of the machine guns and hyper trains on fire might tire my old ears out quickly!

Narrator: It didn't. The ambient droney loveliness is quite high in the mix and the angry runaway trains more in the background with no harsh resonances to make his ears tire out.

This album is brutal, love it

This is pretty great.

This album's intense.  Great stuff

Christ almighty this is brutal. Never thought he had this sort of stuff in him.

Love the buildup, too.

didn't do much for me

I find this pretty harsh to listen to!!
