if dance is what you want, you should get Delay's other project Luomo. the album "Vocalcity" is AMAZING!! long drawn out tech-y house with amazing vocals. the kids these days like to call it micro-house for some odd reason?? buy that, you won't be disappointed.
if you like it, check out the Anima and Naima. they sound like Luomo, he uses the same synth sounds, it's just like he turned off quantizing.

Well, "l'uomo" obviously means "man" in Italian, but "luomo" is also a made-up word, which is nevertheless structurally understandable in Finnish. I guess you could translate it "a place where something is created", since the "luo-" part comes to the verb "luoda" ("to create") and the "-mo" ending refers to a place where something is done (for example, "korjaamo" = "repair shop").
The title of the first track on the new Uusitalo LP translates to "Shitty Music". :)

2. Odottava Peto = "waiting beast"
3. Kalajuttuja = "fishing stories"
4. Lumimies = "snowman"
5. Nokkonen Päiväunilla = "nettle taking a nap"
6. Uutta verta Hangella = "new blood on the snow"
7. Tulenkantaja = "fire bearer"
8. Tervatahroja = "tar stains"
9. Misut Irti / Huutaa = "chicks off / shouts" ("misu" is a slang term for a girl)
10. Lasi Hajoaa = "glass is breaking"
Sounds like this is his "Finnish" record... (Though it's kinda sad that everytime the foreign press reviews records by Finnish or Icelandic artists they have to use the terms "icy" or "glacial" or whatever.)

Ugh... substitute 'overtly' for 'consistently' in what I wrote above. I need to start reading what I write before I hit submit.
It's about degrees of warmth. Most of Ripatti's productions are warm in that muggy all-enveloping way (I'd make a sauna analogy if I was cheap), whereas The Present Lover's warmth feels much more understated to me. The drums are much crisper, and it lacks those layers of hiss and noise which bind everything together.

i LOVE taking a nap to Whistleblower. i would go so far as to say that i hadn't really heard it until i drifted in and out of sleep to it. there is something so pleasurable and sleep-inducing about searching for patterns in the broken percussion and halting bass with the atmospheric ambient sound drifting all around. normally the broken rhythm would bother me, but something about the muffled quality and the way brief memories of songs sneak in and out makes it awesome. being familiar with his other stuff makes it even more evocative as the sounds are often very similar, so you can almost hear fragments of Luomo churned and melted into it.
i don't like Tummaa as much so far, it's darker, harsher, and more angular, whereas Whistleblower is more muted and distant.

i just started listening to anima and i adored it from the first second on. and i could not believe that luomo and delay are one. as i tried that luomo album vocalcity a couple of days ago and it didn't do anything for me. it was the usual annoying, repetitive electronic beat music of the zero years. but on anima there is a lot happening. it has got that cosmic feel. and it neither sounds like cold laptop music.

yeah, c'mon. vocalcity is obv repetitive music. so is anima for that matter. but they both reward close listening for largely the same reason - what may seem static at first reveals itself as something slowly mutating instead. they're both v. dense, detailed albums.

OTM... The slowly mutating character is a hallmark of his production, as is that damp, murky, incredibly detailed vibe. I want to use the dreaded "organic" here, but in a literal sense; his tracks sound like they're teeming with life. Alex, keep it up with Vocalcity; as the nuances reveal themselves (and this album rewards very LOUD listening, seriously) you'll start to see it as just the other side of the coin from Anima. There's such a clear sensibility and palette linking the two, the immediately recognizable strong voice of a true great.

Not much programming there. I visited his studio when he was recording it. He played most of it live using MIDI drum pads.

He's trained drummer? I assumed it was largely live instrumentation. Listening to Amina is like immersing yourself in someone else's dream, or something. The crash and then emotional vocal sample at the end is like being dramatically pulled out of this state. Does anyone know where the sample comes from?
That said I probably listening to Naima more often.

I guess you could call recording MIDI and editing it after as programming but in the traditional sense (creating MIDI notes in a piano roll editor or in a step sequencer) I would not call it programming. It's a grey area naturally. I just remember that one particular visit to the studio (early 2000?) and him playing the 'percussive' sounds on the drum pads to the music that was later released as Anima.
The sample in the end comes from some big hollywood movie... don't remember the name of the movie right now.

1. Finnish-born Sasu Ripatti of Vladislav Delay and Luomo has found an acoustically-wonderful, isolated environment on an island, an environment surrounded by trees and far from people. On the road, it’s just one laptop, one Korg nanoKEY, and an audio interface, to which he adds Faderfox MIDI controllers, small KAOSS pads, and effects pedals for live gigs.

does anyone like / have an opinion on kuopio? it's kind of hard to listen to his post-demo(n) tracks material but dusted magazine says it's:
less like an outgrowth of earlier Vladislav Delay records and more like a Delay-ization of the relatively straight techno album he made as Sistol, On the Bright Side. It’s not all so abstract, after all.
which seems cool. I don't want to hear samples, just buy it on impulse if you guys think it's ok.
