I found out about Vladislav Delay through Sasu Ripatti's techno project, under the name 'Sistol'. Vladislav Delay is a drastically different creature than Sistol is. Its musical structures have a strangeness I've rarely seen in the experimental electronic world. Not since hearing stuff like Confield by Autechre or something by Richard Devine. Sasu Ripatti seems to take joy in berating the listener with provocative sound sculpting that I find difficult to describe adequately. Much like waking up from a dream, I don't exactly understand or remember what I've heard after each listen. I think this is IDM....but that's just because I can't think of any other genre Vladislav Delay fits in to. Anyway, I highly recommend you check out his album Whistleblower.
