from Boomkat:
Your eyes are not deceiving you! What we have here is brand spanking new material from none other than
Mika Vainio - otherwise known as one half of Pan Sonic or simply ╪. Recorded earlier this year, this is the
first new material from the ╪ project in a few years and is just as seismic as you'd hope. 'Ikuinen' is
Vainio's take on synthesized moodiness, some kind of robotic Finnish exploration into the work of John
Carpenter. Through sloooow reverberating beats and wavering high pitched synthesizer sounds we are
introduced to a moody widescreen world of flickering neons and desolate concrete tower blocks. This
would make the perfect soundtrack to an Eastern European take on Blade Runner, all menacing, grey and
mysterious, and I don't think there can be much higher praise than that. Both sides are essentially two
parts of one long, brooding track and I have to say that this was the kind of record I've been hoping to come
from Vainio for some time now, it's a wet dream for someone like me who not only fetishizes SΣhk÷ but
also the whole 70s synth movie soundtracks genre in general. To hear this veteran producer attempting
something like this is just a dream come true, and while people expecting a 4/4 minimal techno monster
might be shocked, I've no doubt that it will quickly turn into reverence. A totally essential 12" from one of the
world's finest electronic musicians... just buy it!
