A year ago today (already!) one of music's most eclectic, original, and stimulating geniuses passed away.. Yeah I know, many people will say that the passing of such greats as Bowie, Lemmy, Prince and such will be more hard-pressed to rub those big-wig names down your nose, and most will never even know about Mika Vainio. Best remembered as one of the founders of the Finnish band Panasonic (who were forced to changed their name to Pan Sonic by the electronics giant conglomerate), he was also incredibly prolific as a solo artists and collaborating with dozens upon dozens of other somewhat similarly minded artists. Perhaps Mika knew that his days were numbered, which is maybe a reason why he was so productive in his years post-Panasonic (they called it quits after a 15+ year run). Anyway, he shall never be forgotten and so sorely missed as his own brand of unique sound exploration simply can not be duplicated I even made an album myself in honour of the man:
