Mika Vainio's first album that many regard as one of the most essential foundations of electronic music.

A masterpiece from MIKA VAINIO — the PANSONIC member and electronic sound artist who carved out new frontiers in the technoise/experimental scene before his passing on April 12, 2017 — recording solo as "Ø," exploring techno minimalism as dance music while letting it coexist with an experimental edge. A4 "Muuntaja" is the sole collaboration with fellow Pan Sonic member Ilpo Vaisanen. The 2024 mastering and vinyl cut were handled by Rashad Becker. 2LP, 15 tracks total. Note that the running order has been arranged specifically for the vinyl edition and differs considerably from the digital version. (Original Japanese text by COMPUMA)
