Oh, so the Vanhala CD is sort of a compilation then. Seems like a nice idea and a fresh starting point for me so I guess I have to buy that one. I have the H&K comp but can't really remember how most of the tracks sounded. I remember enjoying it quite a lot though. Since we're talking about Vanhala, I stumbled upon his Tumblr page and from there was taken to his Soundcloud page just to find out he's going to release a CD on Erratic Sporadicism (which I thought was inactive btw) somewhere around 2013. The sample sounded phenomenal. A lot more experimental approach this time with a nice atmospheric touch.
"Vibrant and active experimental music based on electronics, sonic objects, baroque organ and other acoustic instruments, modular synthesis, tape manipulations, and field recordings done at various locations in Malaysia in 2008 & 2009."
I love it!

Metal Obsession was very good cut-up mayhem, with some nice acoustic junks and the presentation of SSR was very fitting in my opinion. Then came "Beauty / Death" on Emanuele's own Audio Dissection label, once again, very nice, but a lot shorter this time. I remember seeing the artwork for the first time and thought it to be... well... very appealing, hah.
I think I must count on you, Mikko, and buy the upcoming CD (and also to satisfy my obsessive collector-needs, heh). I assume you were talking about "Regressed Progress"? Seems like Emanuele already added it on Discogs.
