Visa is a 2014 album by Finnish producer Sasu Ripatti under the name Vladislav Delay. Ripatti conceived and created the album in two weeks after being denied entry to the United States for a planned tour.[4] It was released on his own label Ripatti on November 10, 2014.

"Viisari" appeared on the soundtrack of the 2015 film The Revenant.

Reception[edit]

Resident Advisor gave the album four stars out of five, calling it "organic and terrifically spontaneous" and describing it as "some of his best work." Tiny Mix Tapes also gave the album four stars out of five, calling it an "incredible album." Daniel Bromfield of the Daily Emerald called it Ripatti's "most compelling release under the Vladislav Delay name in some time," comparing it favorably to his earlier Kemikoski EP released as Conoco.[5]
