Entain is the second album by Finnish producer Sasu Ripatti under the name Vladislav Delay. It was released in 2000 on Mille Plateaux.

The album contains six tracks. Two ("Kohde," "Ele") are different versions of tracks that appeared on Ripatti's first Vladislav Delay album Ele. Two ("Poiko," "Notke") are originals, and two are untitled interludes under two minutes long.

Entain was made the same year as Vocalcity, his acclaimed house album released as Luomo. It contains the same number of tracks and is only two seconds longer.

Reception

Allmusic called the album "barely conscious ambience with an unsettling atmosphere" in a four-star review. Almost Cool said of the album: "It’s repetitive and slightly maddening if you’re having any sort of short attention span at all, but if you’re content to simply drift about as it ebbs and flows around you, it can be quite nice." [2]

Pitchfork Media's Nick Sylvester, on the other hand, called it "aimless" and said it was one of "Delay's most difficult listens." [3]
