3/4 trash, 1/4 genius.......2002-12-10

The first 3/4 of this cd sounds like Pan Sonic (Vainio's more popular project with Ilpo [insert finnish name starting with V here]), but instead of layered, all strung out end to end - a pop here, a crack there, some static, some white noise, etc. It's interesting I guess but wholly unfulfilling; I wouldn't want this cd except...
The last 1/4 (the last track clocking in at around 15 minutes) of this record is pure genius - viher[green] is without question a classic of ambient music, equalled maybe by only 4 or 5 tracks I've ever heard. The music just disappears into the environment, hardly even noticable yet causing a profound change in the surroundings. Astounding and infinity% worth the price of the record.

Excellent minimalist ambient electronica; not for beginners........1998-11-13

Mika Vainio of Pan Sonic fame creates an ambient masterpiece with "Onko." Among the sounds contemplated in Onko's 4 lengthy tracks are static, rainfall, whalesong, fire, and breathing. Although the sound is completely electronic and minimal, often using only tiny bits of sound embedded in silence, Onko's sound evokes quiet contemplation of nature's storms.
