CD Description
Finnish producer Vladislav Delay has been a force in the Scandinavian experimental techno scene since his mid '90s incarnation as Conoco. This first album under the moniker Luomo finds Delay merging his early clicks-and-blips sound from releases on Mille Plateux and Max.Ernst with influences from experimental Chicago house stylists like Theo Parrish and ambient techno innovators such as Richie Hawtin.
VOCALCITY contains only six tracks that clock in at nearly 77 minutes in length. Delay takes these compositions through gradual changes as subtle yet powerful as those of a sun setting over acity skyline. He sets a mood by teasing structure out of meticulously placed beats that appear to be random, like blocks in a game of Tetris falling upon one another in a mosaic-like pattern. In "Class", vocals punctuate polyrhythms that can be as ethereal as Tangerine Dream or as aggressive as Plastikman. "Tessio", the album's best track, builds over an agonising 12 minutes full of sound effects, ambient noise, andnearly empty space. The vocals, a distinctly urban duet between a man and woman discussing their affair, are hushed andsuggestive, a bizarre parody and a triumph of modern R&B.

Customer Reviews

beautiful,warm,deep,bubbley,house music...Fantastic!
Luomo is actually vadislav delay. This album is a departure from his usual basic channel style and a very successfull one too! It is war and deep, very dancable but yet listenable....er...words do not do it justice.
