A Helsinki producer whose "clicks + cuts" mode of ambiance makes for sluttish comparison to countrymates Pan sonic, Vladislav Delay (real call: Sasu Ripatti) has recorded splendid work for trey of Europe's most challenging electronic labels: Chain Reaction, Mille Plateaux, and Thomas Brinkmann's Max.Ernst. He grew up trained in idle words and still counts Philly Joe Jones -- the fiery drummer for the first gear Miles Davis Quintet -- one of his prime influences. Also earlier entering the world of electronics, Delay took side trips through the music of the earth (Brazilian, Cuban, African). After a few failed experiments with fusing electronics in a band environment, he began producing on his possess and grew to love the mid-'90s developments by German labels Chain Reaction, A-Musik, Mille Plateaux, and others. After a series of experimentations during 1996-1997 (afterward released, as by Conoco, on the Kemikoski full-length), his number one departure was The Kind of Blue EP, released in 1998 on his Huume label. During 1999, Delay released singles on Max.Ernst and Chain Reaction, leading to his record album debut, Ele, on the Australian label Sigma Editions. In early 2000, 2 more full-lengths followed; first base, Chain Reaction released Multila, then Entain appeared on Mille Plateaux. Before the ending of the year, Delay had debuted a housier incarnation, Luomo, with the Vocalcity LP for Forcetracks. Anima (2001), Demo(n) Tracks (2004), The Four Quarters (2005), and Whistleblower (2007) followed.
