Originally released as Ø in 1996, 'Olento' is Mika Vainio's second album, and it is absolutely essential material that is being reissued here. From subtle drones and sinus-shaped rhythmic experiments to some of the most powerful slices of minimalist techno ever recorded.

Editions Mego release this special reworking of 'Fa' from Fennesz' debut solo album from 1997. Killer shattering noise splinters imbued with extreme new clarity in double the original's length. An ingenious choice of remixer, Mark Fell slices and dices with his crystalline precision and a Martin Luther King speech(?). Deadly release!

Late synth legend Conrad Schnitzler receives a worthy tribute at the hands of artists such as Pole, Borngräber & Strüver, and Ricardo Villalobos and Max Loderbauer, who deliver two epic and very diverse takes - one a nicely meandering piece of minimalistic techno, one jazzed-up dub electronica. Excellent!
