Two new offerings under two new pseudonyms for Finland's Vladislav Delay (the other being Uusitalo "Vapaa Muurari Live") , the 3rd and 4th full length albums released this year alone (see also Vladislav Delay "Multila" and "Entain"), both under the Force Inc. Musik Werks umbrella. "Vocalcity" collects together all of the tracks from the 3 Force Tracks' 12"s onto 1 convenient digital platter. LUOMO sees Delay dive head first into house, surprisingly enough. The term 'house music' has always been a bit of an oxymoron to me since it usually conjures up the stereotype of cheesy, unimaginative dance floor shite. Delay, unsurprisingly, does it with much style and skill. The 6 tracks, most of which are in the 12-14 minute range, fuse minimal deep house rhythms with bits and pieces of Delay's trademark sound fragments, diva vocal loops and spacious atmospheres. It's a soulful, mildly deconstructed mix of funk, dub, ambiance and electronic groove in a creatively conventional package. As with everything Delay does, attention to detail is crucial as each track slowly unfolds, changing colors like a chameleon and mesmerizing at great length. "Vocalcity" is primo house that should appeal equally to the discerning IDM elitists and the masses that just want something cool to dance to ...
