it would seem jani rantanen is on a productive roll. under his outgate pseudonym, he treated us to the machinae ep back in january, and now he returns with more -though altogether different- intricate tech sounds.
routine number five is called the mute city ep, and it's a mixed release in a fashion much like yasahi's when earth fell on the moon ep (flw002). having described the whole as "a deep, ambient like dip into tech land", jani starts off at "central" with clicks, pads and noises, and takes us along from there, for a ride that touches down at all points of the compass. like being lost in the helsinki subway system, a 117 bpm laidback urban tech journey ensues.
presuming you have a pulse, you should be checking it out. go ride the tube for a while.

Music you cannot mute. ;)
Again there is bogus CUE file. CUE file INDEX entries should be in format:
INDEX minutes:seconds:frames,
and it looks like someone (some weird application?) made it like
INDEX hours:minutes:seconds
Because of that first four tracks have just a few seconds instead of few minutes.
this is a nice peace of work. 117 points of 100 ;)
yeah, this has to be one of my favourite ep's on subco. Monotonous, hypnotic trip which brings listener into the era of early underground ambient/techno (my personal favourite is North).
Definitely must-listen.
