Huume Recordings is run by Sasu Ripatti, who is also Luomo, Sistol and Uusitalo. No, that isn't l33t-speak, that's Finnish. He's also Mr. Vladislav Delay and after a bit of wrangling with the much deceased (and mourned over) Force Inc. record label, he's got his paws on 2001's Anima, an all-time classic of the onomatopoetically-named clicks & cuts genre. A deep techno ambient masterwork, Ripatti's 62-minute bubbling, synthetic piece seems to change imperceptibly like a cloud. Perfect for the bath or the beach, but it's even more perfect if you are Dr. Ballard piloting the $5 Million JASON submarine around the wreckage of the Titantic looking at 9-foot sea worms that no one has ever seen before. Anima seems randomly-generated, with pulses and burbles falling out at indiscriminate times, keeping your senses heightened but your mind at rest. If I was a synaesthete, this would look like a Skittles-colored waterfall in Kool-Aid land.

Health and Human Services Public Hearing

By Naoko Yoshida on Wed, Sep 10, 2008 12:53 am

“One of the most heart breaking things for me is the great number of homeless veterans,” said Ralph Cooper, executive director of Veterans Benefits Clearinghouse. “As you can tell, I’m getting older and my gray hair tells the truth. You can’t imagine how painful it is for me to talk with men and women who served in Vietnam, men and women who are young, coming back from Afghanistan and Iraq and they are homeless. How disgraceful is that?”
