we might be able to describe the contents or interpret the meaning of Esa Ruoho's work
entitled Container. He channels the operas of long detatched future alien civilations into
a form which appeases the limitations of our primitive human minds. Its not often that an musician
is able to create a work of such stunning beauty. From futuristic hip hop derivitives
ambient bassline creations, the creator employs a melodic intuition from which every twinkling
structure descends, piercing the grey haze of bassline and synth washes with intense beams of
analog sunrays. The next step in evolution will undoubtedly involve humans trancending the grevious
limits of verbal and written communications and developing emotional psychic interfaces, an audible
representation of which may resemble the work of LACKLUSTER.
