I have a promo where's blue sheets inside a plastic case. There was a a neon colored yellow small censorship paper (a small post-it-paper) that was put over to the band's original name's place.
I can't find it here. I'm blind.
And I have to search that CD now. -
No one has posted anything about this masterpiece in quite a while. Is Panasonic/Pan Sonic not as popular as the once were? Since 1/2 of the band is no more (Mika died in 2017 at the age of 53) maybe because there has been no new material or tours many have forgotten about them? Not me! I have most of their physical releases (including this box set and the CD). And I’m sure the other half of the band, Ilpo, will continue to release solo albums. I love this electro/clinical sound, especially when they delve into the low frequencies. This band is a perfect ear cleanser after overhearing stupid simple pop radio and the like. -
Desperately needs a reissue on vinyl, all the more so since he has now ed. Classic masterpiece of minimal techno and avant garde electronics. -
Edited 8 years agoI bought this thinking the album would be "Dive without vocals" as one Discogs put it, like the 'Urania' track clickable in the video section. Unfortunately, the album is even more obtuse than an album I bought described as the most obtuse album ever. Listening to 'Urania' doesn't sound good on the album due to the preceding tracks perverting it into feeling like noise. I'm used to shifting through garbage in the industrial genre, but I can't imagine what depressing reality this music listened straight through as an album is supposed to match.
edit: I may need to reevaluate this album review. -
Comment only: the CD copy I purchased in the mid-90s of "Vakio" has the final piece "Sähkötin" abruptly ending at 3:05. Another version owned by a then friend had it last over 8 minutes. I was wondering if my version was a manufacturing default...

Vakio sounds like what you hear when you enter a powerplant: a mean buzzin’sound of electricity running through all kind of cold devices; only here it is amplified a thousand times and forced in this sec and lifeless hitting pattern. Brilliant industrial ambient!<BR>
Notice CD was packaged in what seems to be a genuine Panasonic (the company) slip-over. Big fun of course although the company wasn't in for much hilarity and sued the guys!
