3 stars This soundtrack was created for the fascinating document film about UFO resembling houses designed by Matti Suuronen. Some product details described in Russian lead to electronic ambiences and subtle programmed sonic textures characterizing the sound realms of the record. Passive sonic modulations and ultra-minimalist radiophonics are quite fun to listen, but appeared for me quite null without the original context of the fabulous documentary movie. The loss of film's informative contents is patched with English and Finnish interview excerpts from the document, still denying the visual pleasures related to the subject. One possible solution for enjoying the record more would be using it as background music whilst reading reports of flying saucer encounters. I managed to visit one Futuro house with a friend during the year 2012 World Design Capital hoax celebrated in Helsinki. Being constructed mainly from polyester plastic and fiberglass resulted the small cabin to smell really unpleasant, and the space had characteristic late 60's feature, denying any kind of privacy from the inhabitants, forcing everybody to focus on mutual co-existence. Maybe the most conventional usage for the design house would be using it as filming location for fetish pornography; an activity to which the document movie concluded. I would recommend warmly Mika Taanila's film with this music for those interested of retro design, but the soundtrack then only for fans of eventless modern audio installations.
