Mika Vainio and Ilpo Vaisanen, better known as Finnish electronic duo Pan Sonic, are not ones to compromise. Since they began making music (or sounds, as the case may be) in 1993, they've continued turning out unconventional recordings that challenge accepted modes of thought about electronic musical idioms. As ideologically and sonically unrelenting as ever, Pan Sonic presents KESTO, four full discs of new material that retreats not a step from the pair's previous advances.

The first disc is the harshest and most literally industrial-sounding, as white-noise frequencies, modified to varying degrees, crackle and clatter through the listener's eardrums, with only brief moments of respite. Disc Two is less overtly assaultive, more beat-oriented, making use of the kind of dub-inflected glitch beats they (along with the likes of Pole) helped invent. The third disc could almost be called ambient, were it not for the inescapable sense of dread that underlies the somehow sinister minimalism. Most impressive is the final disc, a single, hour-long piece that's closer to early-'70s Tangerine Dream than anything else. Pan Sonic thanks artists as diverse as electro-post-punks Throbbing Gristle and New Music composer Alvin Lucier in the notes, and influences from both sides of the fence are discernible.Q (p.116) - 3 stars out of 5 - "Once you've bequeathed them your synapses, the rewards are great - analog tone generators and digital samplers creating a thrillingly visceral hiss and thud that quickly fills all available space."
CMJ (p.10) - "KESTO is a searing collection of glitchy industrial sounds smoothed out and refried over skeletal beats. It's noisy, ambient and danceable all at the same time..."

Glee Cast Glee: The Music, Vol. 2 CD  (2009) Original Soundtrack

Kesto album
CD $9.58  SALE Top 100
The second Glee soundtrack throws a bone to the show's supporting characters, with Jenna Ushkowitz (the faux-stuttering Tina) singing her first solo and Amber Riley (Mercedes) receiving a larger chunk of airtime. Lea Michele and Matthew Morrison continue to steal the show, though; Morrison delivers one of the album's most inventive songs with a mash-up of "Don't Stand So Close to Me" and "Young Girl," while Michele sings the absolute pants off of everything the producers give her. The album sometimes strays away from choral arrangements and focuses on individual actors, but it's hard not to sing along with a song like "Jump," where the cast replaces Eddie Van Halen's keyboard riff with bright choral harmonies. ~ Andrew Leahey The second Glee soundtrack feels a bit rushed, arriving no less than four weeks after Vol. 1's release and featuring songs from half as many episodes. Returning fans will still find a lot to enjoy here, though, as Jenna Ushkowitz (the faux-stuttering Tina) gets her first solo and supporting characters Amber Riley (Mercedes) and Kevin McHale (Artie) enjoy a healthier chunk of airtime. Nevertheless, Lea Michele and Matthew Morrison continue to steal the show, with Morrison delivering one of the album's most inventive songs -- a mash-up of "Don't Stand So Close to Me" and "Young Girl" -- and Michele singing the absolute pants off of "My Life ...

Gov't Mule By A Thread CD  (2009)

Kesto music CDs
CD $11.89  4.8 stars Top 100 Audio Samples
BY A THREAD is Gov't Mule's first studio album since HIGH & MIGHTY was issued in 2006. Since that time, bassist Andy Hess has been replaced by Jorgen Carlsson, though Hess appears on two tracks at the end of the album. Carlsson's playing style is much more aggressive than Hess', and is therefore closer - in spirit anyway - to Gov't Mule's original bassist, the late Allen Woody, though he possesses an adventurous sense of time and is harmonically more colorful than either Woody or Hess. Carlsson and drummer Matt Abst are a solid match, since Abst is a drummer used to shifting time signatures and allowing the unexpected in while still driving a band. The band's keyboardist and rhythm guitarist, Danny Louis, is a shape-shifter, playing to whatever is needed in a given track. His manner of coloring sounds inside and around a particular tune's framework is a large part of what makes Gov't Mule's sound so fresh here - despite the fact that they don't stray far from what they do best. Warren Haynes and his guitar are, as usual, front and center, his guitar screaming, his big throaty growl hammering down lyrics like a Southern fire-and-brimstone preacher with earthshaking soul. The material on this set is tight; there is less jamming but Gordie Johnson's production and mixing equalize everything at ten, making it feel like the disc is recorded live. The set opens with the pulsing bass throb of "Broke Down on the Brazos," just before Haynes and guest guitarist Billy Gibbons enter and let the tough, riff-laden blues snarl get in and slash it up a bit. The roar is wondrously deafening ...

Michael Jackson Bad CD  (1987) Bonus Tracks; Remastered; Special Edition

Kesto songs
CD $7.59  4.9 stars Top 500 Audio Samples
Digitally remastered by Bernie Grundman (Bernie Grundman Mastering, Los Angeles, California). Jackson's domination of the world record market continued following Thriller, although by comparison it was an almighty flop with only 12 million sales. As Pink Floyd and Dire Straits have proved, one album can go completely sales haywire without necessarily being any better. The title track and the gorgeous "Man In The Mirror" were substantial hits, but quality material such as "Dirty Diana" and "Liberian Girl" bolster a strong album. Jackson also seemed to have found the romance he seeks in "I Just Can't Stop Loving You" and "The Way You Make Me Feel." Regardless of his press, history clearly shows that he has made a lot of people very, very happy. Additional Tracks Recorded at Westlake Audio Studios, Los Angeles, California. Originally released on Epic (40600). Personnel includes: Michael Jackson (vocals); Stevie Wonder (vocals, keyboards); The Winans (vocals); ...
Only By The Night
Also Bought
Kings Of Leon Only By The Night CD  (2008)

Kesto album
CD $8.99  SALE 4.3 stars Top 100 Audio Samples
With their raw, organic sound, Tennessee's Kings of Leon emerged in 2003 as Southern rock for the indie-garage set, sort of a Strokes for the South. While there were hints of a new direction on their third album, BECAUSE OF THE TIMES, its follow-up, ONLY BY THE NIGHT, follows through with a near-reinvention of the Kings' sound. ONLY BY THE NIGHT could be mistaken for avant-indie cult heroes the Liars on a Southern vacation, as post-punk angularity, distorto-funk bass lines, and clattering percussion are processed through what sounds like the world's biggest fuzzbox. While there ...
