Olento CD

Back in stock. Mika's amazing treasure box of rare Sahko music unleashes another wicked slab of cracked Nordic bass explosions and abstract melodica, this dating from 1995. Summertime writing for Helsinki residents probably means they get an extra half hour of daylight a day which might explain the slightly warmer glow emitting from the tracks on "Olento". Wrapped in a unique debossed card sleeve, inside you'll find the CD inside another card holder (in cool shades of green). Enough designer lifestyle, the music will give your bass cones as much abuse as "Metri" but where that album locked you in your fridge and left your there "Olento" subtly increases the variance on tempo as the micro tech bump tracks swing more, the downtempo tracks make you feel hazed up and flowery and the ambience injects a certain Eno warmth. An amazing re-issue to file next to "Metri" and "Kantamoinen". Mika's 2005 glow will intensify even more this summer when Pan.Sonic's long muted collaboration with Suicide's Alan Vega drops on Mego, stand well back these fireworks can sting! Essential.
