I have loved many CDs in my life. Radiohead, DJ Shadow, Autechre, Christian Fennesz-all these artists were once the creators of my favorite CD of all-time. Not any longer. That honor is now bestowed upon Vladislav Delay. I own his entire catalog, but Entain is by far his best. At first listen, it may appear to be simply some beautiful ambient music that is left in the background. But upon listening with headphones a few hundred times, you will realize that it is so much more. The sounds are a microsymphony of sorts-and you will also realize his rhythms are unbelievable. I cannot think of any artist who has ever sounded like Vladislav Delay. I listen to this CD once a day, as I have for the last four months. It keeps me regular and inspired. Easily one of the deepest CDs out there. It is just as layered as someone like DJ Shadow, but at a much quieter level. Add on top of this the fact that Delay uses like four-five different rhythms layered over each other at any given time and you've got a masterpiece for your ears. Sometimes I can just listen to the background chords for twenty minutes. Fantastic.

it offers a constant interplay among ideas.......a uniquely challenging,disturbing and stimulating music/sound i have heard in many years...it allowed only for being experienced and absorbed thru the hearing and intuition...it was an experience and i want more@#$%^&*

Walking down a New York street recently, I was seduced by strange noises. As I walked I realized I was approaching music. I followed it indoors past a sign that said "Vladislav Delay, 8 O'Clock". Here he was preforming to a crowd of no more than 30 people. I watched as he inserted small disks into his machines, he swayed back and forth like a tiny plant inside it's own massive atmosphere. All of the material was from the album "Entain" which is the best kind of electronic music. The sounds are well choosen, they never suggest anything superfluous, the soft voices of machines send you into a puzzle of associations. It's a clever hedonistic treat, a great CD to relax to.
