A few weeks ago Vladislav Delay showed off a preview of his new album “Visa” on SoundCloud. In light of his recent releases on the Ripatti label, it doesn’t sound that groundbreaking but appears more of a revisionist approach to an older ideal. It is certainly a well honed skill though.
What I’m hoping for is an announcement that Uusitalo/Luomo will make a comeback using this as some sort of self referential feedback loop – just like the old days. We’ll see, I guess.
The good news is that it’s coming out on 12″, the full album to be genuinely pressed since “Anima” a mere thirteen years ago. It will be interesting to see if the mastering approach is different, I’m assuming it will be.
