 Vainio Vãisãnen Vega - Endless   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Vega's not changed his style noticeably, so the combination of chanted, slogan-like vocals and odd howls and yelps blends unexpectedly well with the other two's repetitive, crunchy and occasionally downright noisy electronics.
Vega's vocal is completely typical, and the electronic elements are also above average (the way the rhythm track fades in is wonderful) but the two never manage to connect, giving the impression that this isn't so much a collaboration as Panasonic and Vega merely doing their own thing at the same time.
Too many of the tracks are too similar, and while the combination of Vega and Panasonic is an apt and exciting one, you sometimes get the feeling that both sides of the equation were so bloody-minded about doing things their way that some great possibilities were missed.
