Public transportation has inspired electronic music for decades —in 1977,Kraftwerk’s “Trans-Europe Express” honored the now-defunct rail line, and Tangerine Dream lent its urgent synth loops to Tom Cruise and Rebecca De Mornay as they made “Love on a Real Train” in 1983’s Risky Business.
The association continues with Disfold, the second full-length release from Helsinki-based bleepster Juho Hietala, aka Blamstrain. The back cover of the CD lays out the sonic journey within as a series of stops on a subway map (one is called “The Thing You Hate Me for Is Also a Part of the Rest of Me You Love”; two stops later we’re at “Frame Math”). Musically, it’s a departure from the aggressive, scrambled beats of Hietala’s debut on Merck Records (Ensi, 2003). This is a gurgling ambient voyage that departs from a station filled with echoes and snatches of conversation, slowly skirts a club throbbing with minimal techno, and winds toward the planets of distant solar systems. As the album progresses, it brings to mind imagery from Leiji Matsumoto’s Galaxy Express 999, a lovely animated film about a space-traveling locomotive.
Disfold is a good choice for headphone enthusiasts, gallery wanderers, and, of course, metro passengers (ah well, there’s always the Rail Runner). It also makes great sleepytime music.
  Music may not take us to the Moon or let us live forever, but as we enter trough the doors it is opening before us, we find things far beyond our everyday experiences..
