last night i listened to this in full and was i blown away by the immensity and depth of the music contained on the 4 discs. I would go as far as to say it is their best work to date and a remarkable achievement. The way the sound immerses you so completely is just exquisite. But your opinions…?

sorry.

no-one seems to want to talk about it much though.

i asssumed that now one would which is why i didn't check for threads. someone lock me up.

it seems like one of those albums that begs to be purchased and not bootlegged, but it's very expensive, so I think many people don't have it yet.

― kyle (akmonday), Friday, 21 May 2004 17:43 (twenty-one years ago)

$30 for 4 hours of music? Seems like a good deal.

― sexyDancer, Friday, 21 May 2004 17:46 (twenty-one years ago)

it is a good deal, but it's more expensive than $8, which is what I susually pay for used stuff. So, I haven't picked it up yet. But I vote for classic anyway despite having not heard it.

― kyle (akmonday), Friday, 21 May 2004 17:49 (twenty-one years ago)

i think it is so classic it hurts to be honest. value for money is the real issue here and i think it is something you will come back to again and again so very worth whatever your cheapest local/cyberweb retailer is charging.

It renders their back catalog obsolete so you could trade in your old ones for it.

I'll never be selling my copy of 'vakio'. The others, maybe.

Certainly looking forward to hearing this new one.

"Sleep of Haddock"!

I can understand their desire to keep what sound like very distinctly-themed quarters physically separate but when I saw the duration in the title I immediately thought, "DVD!" Worth a trip to These for This.

i have to buy this this weekend. I've got a bug up my ass about it now and nothing will satiate me.

― kyle (akmonday), Friday, 21 May 2004 18:25 (twenty-one years ago)

but. but. nick, i did that.

Little Uusi Fantasia birds like me are happy to notice that there came good things out of Mika's and Ilpo's rocking all over the world-style touring and brushes with mentally unstable conditions. I give the new Pan Sanic quadruple album 10 ringing oscillators out of 10.

As much as I'd like to check this thing out, it's too much, and too much money. I don't think I'd play all four CDs more than twice each in the course of the first year of ownership, and thus can't justify the purchase. I saw them live once, though (opening for Wire in, I think, 2000 or 2001), and they were great.

I got it day before yesterday and it is amazing -- it does benefit from listening to all of them straight through. It is *incredibly* scary, especially the third disc, which is basically creepy abstract ambience; and the first disc, the 'mayhem' tracks especially are TERRIFYING loud and in the dark. it's totally awesome.

That review makes me ache for this album.

― Barry Bruner (Barry Bruner), Saturday, 22 May 2004 03:00 (twenty-one years ago)

I got this 4xClassicDiscs today and I've just listened through it all. This quadruple album has MAGNUM OPUS written all over it. The funny thing is that Ilpo and Mika actually ROCKS on a couple of tracks.

I love this box set and I will defend it to death. Hakka Päälle!

three years pass...

can anyone tell me about vvv (Vainio / Väisänen / Vega)? are the two albums both worth picking up? is it slamming or drone or ambient or what?

― creme1, Tuesday, 19 June 2007 23:41 (eighteen years ago)

i like the first one. it sounds like a simplified panasonic (beat-y as they were at the time) with alan vega doing his suicide bit over it.
