Pan SonicFormerly known as Panasonic (before a certain Japanese corporation made known its dislike for their moniker) the Finnish duo Pan Sonic creates radical, contemporary electronic music. A goes even further than its predecessor, 1997's Kulma, in its quest for purity. Like an episode of the TV show ER minus all the doctors and patients, the record is about the machines' point of view. This is the sound of fibrillators sighing and electrocardiographs hiccupping, of circuits barely connecting and instruments running by themselves while nobody's looking. It's hard to fathom what Pan Sonic could possibly do after this album, since they've painted themselves into an abstract corner. In the meantime, A is like a Pollock painting: the point is not necessarily meaning or a "narrative" but rather a quasi-feral reaction to elemental sounds. --Elisabeth Vincentelli
