From Boomkat:
Veteran Finnish electronics maestro and one of the most fascinating producers of our times, Mika Vainio
returns to the Touch label, the recent home of some of his most uncompromsing work. Last years 'Oleva'
and the preceding Pan Sonic album remain examples of the finest electronic albums of the last few years,
but they were surely also some of his most accessible. For 'Black Telephone Of Matter' we hear the
contrarily noisy and contemplative side of Mika, no beats, but plenty of completely devastating aural views
surveying vast abstract landscapes. 'Roma A.D 2727' weaves sinewaves sculpted into brutally effective
and nerve stimulating squalls. 'Silence Traverses Des Mondes Et Des Endes' opens with the horrific
cackle of a murder of crows before sharply focussed bass blasts with ever encroaching proximity and
unrelated shards of textured noise dynamically ascend before crashing to point zero. If you've ever
experienced one of his frightening but life affirming live shows, the album's centre-piece 'Bury A Horse's
Head' should help you relive the life-changing intensity of his powerful drones with 11 mins of austere
oscillator experimentation, only you'll have to turn the volume up for the full body tactile effect. Paralleling
this is the set's other extended composition 'A Measurement Of Excess Antenna Temperature At 4080
Ml/s'. A reduction of excess to the bare minimum of electronic hum with brain massaging waves of
subbass that'll make your eyeballs vibrate if you're paying attention on good headphones. Nobody else
comes close to this man's sonic imagination or level of execution, this is another essential purchase for
fans of cutting edge sonics and good music everywhere. Immense.
