Rated 5/5
Review by JeanMarcDekesel Oct 04, 2003

referencing Vakio, CD, Album, BFFP 118 CD

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!
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!
Rated 5/5

These four 10"es came on clear vinyl. Each record got a different coloured label and all in a blue hardcase - great design work.

a masterpiece and a breakthrough for finnish electronica, innovating minimal electronics by inventing what later grew clicks'n'cuts / glitch.
