How can someone engage all these sounds into a single composition, with all its teeming miniatures, subtle epiphanies and shifting punctuations ?

I wonder, because Sasu Ripatti has achieved this : intertwining multitudes of rhythmic layers and hidden melodies -- whilst maintaining an immense presence and undulating reason for musical existence. Ripatti provides a pool of endless depth into which you may penetrate -- thus discovering a swarming amalgamation of previously dissonant sonic ephemera, all coalescing to form a perfect musical entity.

If there is one really good album from Delay , then it is Entain.The album is filled with ambient and glitch soundscapes.There are not much albums that are so relaxing and malignant produced as this one.
The first track "Kohde" is build up with ambient, followed to a beat with clicks and glitch.The first "Untitled" track contains the sound of rattling keys and is a perfect introducing for the next song "Poiko".
"Poiko" is the following 19 minutes lasting track which proceeds very in the next track "Ele", which has a more techno influence in it.After the 15 minutes track comes the beautiful outro, agian named "Untitled", which is a perfect
round-off of the album.Listening to this will remind you at the 12" "Huone" release and the "Ele" CD.Recommerced.

Sparse and crackling, with a pleasent drone to it. A good record to put on for a rainy Saturday afternoon, and just lay down on the couch.
