Review from Vital Weekly 759

QuoteVIDEOTRAGE - SIGNALTURES (cassette by Obscurex)
From Finland hails Mika Ihanamaki and Sami
Kettunen, who work together as Videotrage. 'Signaltures' is their second release. Not much is forthcoming about them, but my best guess is that they love the synthesizers to be old and analogue. They buzz around nicely in the three tracks on side A and the side long trip on side B. Here even an old good vocoder is used for that spacious robot effect (I am reminded, rather fondly, of old Dutch masters Ende Shneafliet, although Videotrage use less rhythmmachines). You're on the air and we're floating into space, that sort of thing. The b-side has deep rhythm to somewhere like a space ship gentle crossing the sky and those computer game sounds (maybe that lovely Korg Monotron which are now so en vogue) to simulate the cosmic war. That's the direction we find these boys in. Heavy styled cosmic music, with some gentle moments, some mean ones and throughout well thought out. Science fiction music for the 'now' moment. (FdW)
