Noisy, experimental but clearly danceable music. Sound is incredible. Another techno classic.

I am one of those crazy fans that actually has a copy of each release of this album: both the "Blast First!" original pressing with the complete uncensored band name on the cover (before the legal disputes) as well as the "Mute" re-issue with the second "a" missing in the band name. "KULMA" represents another good introduction to the electric world of Panasonic, with a good selection of their various styles. From the rhythm-heavy pieces like "Teurastamo" and "Vapina" to the chilled-out mechanical illbient of "Aines" and "-25", Panasonic explore their usual routes, letting their machines do the driving, and leaving the actual humans behind the project acting more like passengers. Although the Panasonic sound is not for everyone, "KULMA" may be a good introductory point to new listeners who haven't hear other releases. Special notice to the last piece "Moottori" which is by far one of their most abbrasive (but not noise) rhythm tracks ever put to disc.

Pure minimalistic analogues and beats. Also released as Pan Sonic (copy that I own) which I assume was due to legal reasons.
