Would you believe that a new Mika Vainio album has arrived and I've not even got the time to listen to it all the way through. 'Aineen Musta Puhelin Black Telephone Of Matter' is out on Touch and has Vainio at his most visceral, strange quite bleak distant industrial sounds, field recordings, drones, hisses etc. it's quite a spacious album and it's very subtle. Difficult to articulate really given the unfortunate time frame but I'd say that if you enjoyd both his albums on Ivan Pavlov's Wavetrap label then this is well worth a go.This is Mika Vainio's 4th solo album for Touch, after ONKO [Touch # TO:34, 1997], KAJO [Touch # TO:43, 2000] and IN THE LAND OF THE BLIND, ONE-EYED IS KING [Touch # TO:54, 2003]. He is, of course, part of Pan Sonic with Ilpo Vaisanen, and also records solo as O.
