if any of yous have mixmag of september2007, could you possibly do one of two things:
1) verify that there is a review of lackluster: repulsine ep (slsk records) on there
2) possibly scan the review of said ep?
the reason i ask this is because the scandinavian distributor of mixmag does not, and has not, supplied said magazine to finland for the past 3 years.
yours most faithfully, esaruoho@gmail.com http://www.lackluster.org

I've not bought mixmag since 1993 when it had a free cassette on the front.
Isn't it full of dj tiesto lovers?

thanks pennyworth
cerijc unfortunately my situation with the webshop etc is currently 0 sales (and 0 preorders) so i do hope its not in a plastic bag - i wouldnt be able to help you out.. actually, i have 1.52eur on my paypal account but that doesnt help.
i remember seeing it in ireland in 05 and it wasnt in plastic wrapping, and had switched to being more raggy than before

Sorry, I was suggesting if I found a copy, it would have to not be in a plastic bag even for me to tell if it had been reviewed or not (unless you're on the cover! :) ). I will try and let you know if it's in there (assuming it's not in a bag). In fact, sod it, I shall go across the road now...

Hi Esa - I had a snoop round our local WHSmiths, and found the mag, but sorry - no dice. Couldn't see any mention of your release in the reviews at all. October issue shouldn't be too long away, so I'll have another look then for you too if you want. Wasn't in a sleeve either, so I should be able to take a sneaky camera pic of the review and type it up.
Chris.

Yep, it is indeed in this issue. I took a pic of the article with my phone in Smiths, but the text is barely legible! You got three headphones out of five though.
Here's what I could (mostly) read (I put the words I'm not completely sure on in brackets):
"Esa Ruoho has been making electronica since the mid-90s, and it shows. This - on the label of download engine SoulSeek - could easily have come from a Warp compilation circa 1993, but that doesn't detract from the fact that the rippling synth [arpeggios] and shimmering beats sound absolutely lush. Slightly hippie-ish maybe, but warm, melodic and [decidedly/definitely] lush."
Good review. Hope that helps. :)

sneakattack: unfortunately there is currently no-one in touch from the states who would be serious, and capable, of bringing me over for a gig or two. it seems to be one of these things that never changes.
1. "come and play" 2. "wed love you to play" 3. "can you find any other organizers in the states who would want to chip in for the flight + costs?" 4. "we'll be in touch" 5.
tbh, i dont see it happening. it costs tons to fly people over to the states, and even then its only feasible with a promotional company or a set of very, very active promoters / venue owners who really, really do want something to happen.
-------- csl: thanks, i think that put together with what i got sent over email ('Esa Ruoho has been making electronica since the mid 90's and it shows. This - on the label of the download engine Soulseek - could easily of come from a Warp compilation circa 1993, but that doesn't detract from the fact that the rippling synth arpeggios and glimmering beats sound absolutely lush. Slightly hippie-ish, maybe but warm, melodic and definately lush.' (3 out of 5))
means that its probably "hippie-ish" since you wrote it out too. (the person who sent that one to me wasnt sure it was hippie-ish or not.. another camera phone shot ;) )
btw, thanks, much appreciated!

mixmag scan
LACKLUSTER Repulsine EP SLSK RECORDS Proper old school electronica Esa Ruoho has been making electronica since the mid-90s, and it shows.
This -- on the label of download engine Soulseek -- could easily have come from a Warp compilation circa 1993, but that doesn't detract from the fact that the rippling synth arpeggios and skittering beats sound absolutely lush. Slightly hippie-ish, maybe, but warm, melodic and definitely lush.
