Vladislav operates under a couple alias's

Luomo being one -- get -"Vocal City" to start - however its not as abstract as , "entain".

Another one of his alias's is
Uusitalo try the Cd "Tulenkantaja"

I pretty much love everything he has done- so i personally suggest collecting all of his albums, remixes and singles.

As far as similar artists - I would check out other artists on the Chain Reaction label. Such as; Fluxion , Ridis, Hallucinator and Monolake. Also try Akufen and Gas and take a look at the artists on Mille Plateaux .

I hope that helps.

I've yet to find anything quite like Vladislave Delay/Luomo.

I saw him play as Luomo a few years back, it was the sexiest night of music I've ever heard. We were booty-shaking like mad, lol.

That's a bit of a stretch. For one, his sound can't be narrowed down to just "house". Delay has been in the game for 10 years now, with an equal amount of albums under his belt. In addition his sound is a lot more varied than Burial, who is just starting out.

On the other hand, I doubt that Delay has achieved anywhere near the same amount of impact innovatively than Burial has with his first album.

All true, but if you'll allow me to get all pedantic for a minute... I think Delay *could* have had the impact of Burial, but for a couple of factors.

1) the time wasn't right. People were still happy to listen to house and drum n bass and breaks and whatever.

2) Delay came from a House or Experimental direction, depending on which albums you listen to. These days, either house nor Experimental (ironically enough) scenes are particularly cutting edge or accustomed to really pushing new sounds. So the level of excitement that Burial got straight away just wasn't there.

They do have a similar depth and warmth and texture, tho.

Not to diss Burial or Delay or househeads or anyone, just a couple of thoughts.

Might I respond to that briefly: Delay has been playing all over the planet during all his career, roaming from Japan to Brazil, and Russia to the US, doing tens of shows per year. I am not sure that he has a background in the timber industry - although any Finn has brought down a tree at one moment in his life, either by will or by accident - but he is one hell of a drummer, has always been since childhood. One of the factors why he might not have had the same impact as Burial, although he sells more cds than our Man of Mystery and is more widely known, is that in the time of his arrival as an artist the internet was not used in the way we do it now. Music forums and especially social networking sites have only been this popular for the last few years. I think this is an important factor.

I like Delay a lot, have invited him on various occasions in the Netherlands this year. But I also like Burial, and would love to invite him for a performance.

Hm, maybe not so brief after all.

All the best,

U

Pitchfork review of Luomo "Paper Tiger":
"The same tricks are in play-- brittle, overbright synths that shed pixel-dandruff with every riff; convoluted digital effects that treat sounds as though a great, robotic hand were scrunching them up into a ball like so much waste-paper; breathy vocals playing peekaboo across the soundfield, cooing and whispering, disappearing and turning up somewhere else when you turn your head to catch them in action.... you can listen over and over again until you have no idea whether it's just beginning, or wrapping up, or pumping steadily through its middlemost densities."

Pitchfork review of Burial
"Burial's rhythms are nervous not joyous...It's not the delectably programmed beats that stick in your head.... Instead, the success of this music lies almost entirely in its unexpected and unabashed emotionalism. Above the edgy beats hover layers of lugubrious synths, passing over one another like successive waves of blue and purple rainclouds...
Burial also sporadically resurrects the 2-step practice of sampling and fucking with female vocalists: On album opener "Distant Lights", a bleated "Now that I meet you..." drifts from the swirl like Brandy caught on the other side of the looking glass. This is Burial's best trump card: The handful of tracks with sampled vocals stand well above their brethren, possessing an almost manipulative quality of quivering emotional directness. "

i know its just pitchfork.... but i thought i'd throw it up.
i made that comment after listening to "paper tigers" and burials album.
i wasnt thinking about the place and time... just the sounds.

Luomo is sexy sh!*. I have Present Lover and had some of Delay's stuff, but I think I threw it to the bin when I was cleaning out the desktop.

Which planet you're from, dudes?

Vlad's output has always been largely influental in the music world, his sound is an inspiration for a generation or two. The scope of his musical expression is unbelievably broad: it can be throughout melodic and groovy, and it can be noisy and totally spaced-out yet always conveying emotion and sounding "right" (the guy is also a sound engineer btw). Besides Vlad is a definite innovator, producing dubtechno and microhouse way before these terms were invented, and he's still able to deliver surprises like "Explode" album with AGF.

I really dig Burial's stuff, actually. Revolution nowhere in sight tho, am I missing something?

jim · Post by **jim** » Thu Jan 18, 2007 8:06 pm

Burial is really good, but revolutionary? Not to my ears. Wouldn't call Luomo revolutionary either but he's been in the game a while and produced lots of different but interesting sounds (not too keen on Paper Tigers though).

I posted a mix on this forum I did with a Uusitalo track on it: http://www.dubstepforum.com/viewtopic.php?t=11606 Oddly enough being mixed out of Burial.

Definately love his work.

this man is an abstract genius.

very talanted.

Ripati is a don. Also check out his Karhunainen album under the Uusitalo's moniker.

joseph-j · Post by **joseph-j** » Wed Dec 05, 2007 10:10 am

his stuff is too much of the same. occasionally he'll come out with a gem, but too often its self indulgent waffle.

like the anima album - 1 track, over an hour of the same noises going round and round. no structure or variation whatsoever.

frebentos · Post by **frebentos** » Wed Dec 05, 2007 10:31 am

Totally dig Vladislav Delay, anima is quality...but Multila, imo, is a better album.

His luomo stuff is arite but I prefer the spacey minimal stuff.
