---Morton Subotnick (born April 14, 1933, in Los Angeles, California, USA) is an American composer of electronic music and an innovator in works involving instruments and other media, including interactive computer music systems. Most of his music calls for a computer part, or live electronic processing; his oeuvre utilizes many of the important technological breakthroughs in the history of the genre. In the early 1960's, Subotnik, along with Pauline Oliveros and Ramon Sender, formed the San Francisco Tape Music Center. He was also one of the founding members of California Institute Of The Arts, where he taught for many years. He is married to Joan La Barbara with whom he collaborates.
Virgil Finlay (July 23, 1914 – January 18, 1971) was an American pulp fantasy, science fiction and horror illustrator. He has been called "part of the pulp magazine history ... one of the foremost contributors of original and imaginative art work for the most memorable science fiction and fantasy publications of our time." While he worked in a range of media, from gouache to oils, Finlay specialized in, and became famous for, detailed pen-and-ink drawings accomplished with abundant stippling, cross-hatching, and scratchboard techniques. Despite the very labor-intensive and time-consuming nature of his specialty, Finlay created more than 2600 works of graphic art in his 35-year career.

-You should all probably be aware by now of how much we are addicted to the music of Finnish fellers Mika Vainio and Ilpo Väisänen. Together under the Pan Sonic moniker and separately with their singular work for the Sahko label they have time and again shocked us with their utter command over the electronic music genre, literally forcing us to track down everything within our grasp by either producer. This album, originally released in 2005, saw the duo pair up with legendary Suicide frontman Alan Vega for a second full-length record (the first being 1998's 'Endless') and catches all three members on fine form. It might seem like a weird pairing at first, the fractured post-punk of Suicide pitted against the icy and distorted precision of Pan Sonic, but on record it makes perfect sense. Vainio and Väisänen's production is as noisy and unpredictable as ever, propelled ever forward by a cyclic 4/4 pulse, and Alan Vega is incredibly on form with the sparse production allowing his glorious eccentricities room to splatter across the tracks whole-heartedly. 'Resurrection River' doesn't always hit the target, as is to be expected with these kind of collaborations, but when it does it comes close to being the best work from either party and is as interesting a meeting of minds as you're likely to hear on record. Peculiar and utterly entrancing stuff from the Mego label - check it out.
