*Lacluster *- Spiraling cascades of playful melodies. Lush canopies of layered sound. Ebbing and flowing rhythms. The organic foundations of the music you're hearing make you inevitably think of Mother Nature itself in its infinite multiplicity and richness. And this sense of naturally born expression is exactly what links Esa Ruoho's ambient soundscapes, which remind of winter solstice to the wistful, playful tunes of past summer days. This is what makes his music so distinctive, vibrant, and in a word unique.

Lackluster emerged seemingly out of the blue and stepped directly into the international limelight in the year 2000 with his debut album, Container. While the artist himself remains endlessly surprised by his signing to a real record label, everyone else knew even then that it was just a question of time. The underground scene had been buzzing for with the Lackluster fever, which was in full blaze thanks to the astounding amount of music Esa Ruoho put out for free through early electronic distribution channels and old fashioned, homemade cds.
