      18.02.2001 Action - Release number #028 is out now! It's an ep called
      Fissura made by the one and only H. Kyllönen. Kyllönen's music is also
      featured in the new issue of Music Massage released on friday. AdaMM
      revieved "Jumpy pupu" from Henkka's previous ep Kustaa Vaasa.
      Kyllönenkyllönenkyllöneeen! Ahem.. Yes. Kyoto has now moved to a new
      location in the hyper!space. The new address in all its beauty is
      kyoto.scene.org. Also the releases can be directly downloaded from
      ftp.scene.org/pub/music/groups/kyoto. If you experience any problems
      they are most likely due to the server change and will be taken care of
      if you care to notify me. So..

      Report bad links and send your ambient/idm tracks to
      lmattila@kolumbus.fi. (Ask about HUGE files first, pls.)



      release #028 - "Fissura EP" by H. Kyllönen

	 Although Kyllönen is in the finnish army at the moment it doesn't
      prevent him from releasing great music. Actually the newest tracks in
      this ep are dated july 2000 but who cares and besides this sound
      hardly gets old in half a year. It seems that Kyllönen focuses his
      rougher rave/noise tracks on cd releases and shows his so-called
      sensitive side in modules. It's not that didn't like both 'styles' but
      I've noticed there is some contrast. This rough division seems to work
      with Fissura ep: since the tracks are modules, they're pretty easy and
      laid back idm songs with nice melodies and many layers.
	 So.. The ep starts with a track called Decimal music (mild mix).
      The beginning sounds pretty funny with a happy melody sample played
      backwards and a corny robot voice saying "This is decimal music".
      Soon enough the drumtrack begins pounding and convincing you that this
      isn't a joke after all. The melody sample is dropped out and a neat
      electric bassline is introduced. The drum/bassline combination cathes
      your attention while the gentle sweeps fade in. A melody is built with
      some nice pads which sound like a flute. The elements that carry the
      song to its end are there now.
	 Track number two begins with an odd sample played backwards also.
      (I had to find out what it really was and it turned out that the
      maestro had once again sampled some finnish iskelmae.) This short laid
      back track is called Nisky. It mainly consists of the sample mentioned,
      a straight drumloop and some strings. Simple yet beautiful. Nothing to
      add.
	 Shelly brings on some aggression. The beginning is just binary noise
      as drums and percussions but this is still far from ear torture. Soon 
      the melodies, also binary noise, come along. My guess is that this track
      will divide opinions but I like it because somehow it manages to sound
      like some old c64 game.
	 Track 4 is humorously called Computer love. Didn't Kraftwerk use to
      have a song by that name? Well anyway it's a superb track. It has
      everything I love in a Kyllönen track. Beautiful melodies which are
      backed up by gentle strings. A tough and tight beat keeping it all
      together while the melodies grow and vary. This one one really rocks.
	 Threethree (nowsix edit) is the good old Threethree. Now with more
      lenght, more instruments, more everything! My favourite in Henkka's
      Numbernumber series. The strings play beautiful flowing melodies and the
      drumtrack.. well, you just can't get enough of it. This edit adds quite 
      alot to the original version and the climax get's really, I mean really
      big. Some think maybe too big but in my opinion it's a good way to end
      this marvellous ep. Get it, you won't regret.

      Summary: All the tracks are great. Not a weak link in the chain.
