LUOMUHAPPO - POG-O-MATIC POGÓMEN 3000000 A few quotes: "All in all, a staggering release – and with the half-dancefloor, half-chillout makeup this album’s got some life in it. But get in there quick – these 700 will sell out, and Freakdance releases have changed hands for daft money on ebay: rightfully so." Score: 8/10 -Damion / Psyreviews (UK) "These finns are well known pioneers of weird electronic dance musik. On this disc they meet their requirements as usual. A fat share of funk embedded in endless musicality with influences from lots of styles to be found here - in brisky tempo as we know from the north. Some would create three albums out of this variety of ideas. The album ends in four smooth chilling beautiful goodies. Check track 6, warranted fun!!!"-Mushroom Magazine #116, February 05 Available NOW from: http://www.freakdancerecords.net -> mailorder http://www.saikosounds.com/english/display...ase.asp?id=6461 http://www.psyshop.com/shop/CDs/fdr/fdr1cd005.html http://www.beatspace.com/dettagli/dettaglio.asp?id=3429 http://www.wirikuta.at/web66/product_detai...owDetail=159176 Cheerios!

A new in-depth review is available at TranceCritic.com .. http://trancecritic.com/modules.php?name=M...op=show&rid=147

A review from Damion / Psyreviews (UK): James Reipas Uwaga Freakdance (Finland) And then every now and again, something comes along which makes you deliriously happy. 2001’s This Is Not In Fashion was a long time ago, and back then I remember loving it and wondering quite how most psytrance could call itself psychedelic with a straight face. But maybe this is psychedelic in the same way that Emerson Lake and Palmer is; or something. Live instruments combine with midi, possibly inside a washing machine… you can’t tell, it’s that sort of album. We Are Not Intelligent is a creeping, slomo stomp knee-deep in paranoid electro. It puts me in mind of Michael Jackson’s Thriller, although with more elves than zombies. Baltic Sea is a fucking corker – sounding like Kraftwerk on finnish mushrooms. The production is pure 80s, sheeny shiney psychedelic music. It’s just gorgeous, and one I intend to play out whenever I have an excuse to do so. Rightto edges it to a more conventional psy pattern, but still maintaining this glorious electro sheen that sounds very, very good right now. Kashahum sounds like it was lifted from Jean Michelle Jarre’s subconscious while he was asleep after having a bit of a heavy K session. The sounds are just off the scale here, seriously. It sounds like the theme tune to one of those morbidly utopian post-Tron films in the 80s. Staggering. Rauma is a more stuttered approach, as though the soundtrack to Warriors was being recreated by R2D2 and his mates (they play the Mos Isely Cantina every second Thursday, 8pm till 10.) Nopsakka is unbelievable, I can’t even think of anything to liken it to. Think the digitally downloaded brains of The Prodigy and The B52’s, collaborating to make music that bits of old computers can breakdance to. Then, it turns into the love theme from Bladerunner as retold by Speak N’ Spell and BigTrak. None of which quite prepares you for the somewhat unsettling Creatures. Twisted vocal spouts twisted words, while a persistent bottomend pumps along. Screams and whistles and funk wash in over the top… it’s ker-wality, but one hopes Mr Reipas doesn’t have any children. Nature Of Reipas Part III is in a similar vein… think young Gamma Goblins on a school trip to Chessington World Of Adventures. The music shifts from quirky laugh-along-a-reipas to a sort of “house piano riff with special needs”, all gleefully sounding, like the first album did, a bit like the music on the Rainbow Road level on Mario Kart. Why Does It Always Have To Be New sounds like fin-de-ciecle, closing time music… or the end of a rather bizarre film in which Pingu and Mr Bean join the Finnish football team to thrash Brazil 16-1 in the final of the World Cup. And then things go weirder still, with the 168,000-BPM Midnight Valssi, another shockingly shocking tune that has no regard for your wellbeing, no regard for your sanity, and no regard for your Auntie, which it recently defecated on after a date went wrong. Despite this, you like it for being a manically psychedelic tune with a muted trumpet lead, a scando-folk-waltz midsection, not forgetting the thrash metal stab at the end. Syntikkaihme sounds like Finland hosting the Winter Olympics and the Reipas man in the house providing the soundtrack to some ghastly opening ceremony, meanwhile my neighbours think I’ve finally gone fully bonkers with this Clannad-on-DMT coming out my windows. With Return at the end starting out Tangerine Dream and then morphing eerily into a full-throttle electrofunk workout, you feel that something of a milestone has been reached. You won’t be able to mix it with your identikit Nanoalchemysolsticespun-mega, but that’s the point. Gneuinely psychedelic, genuinely fresh, genuinely essential. 10 http://www.psyreviews.com

It's there already, just not available from their web shop yet. Also available from Record Office, http://www.recordoffice.net/ (downloadable mp3 version too!)

This review is originally from Psylosophy - http://www.psylosophy.com/index.php?name=P...iewtopic&p=1713 : This sounds different...the 1st track takes me to a dark street circa 1950. The 2nd track starts off like a children's nursery ryme...beautiful and FAST. Track 3 takes me to groovy tranceville. What unusual talent! Artists taking Psytrance to another level. Track 4, music exploration. Maybe not as good as the other tracks, a bit light. 5 - Depeche Mode on Acid. You wont believe the excellence until you have listened. Electronica for people that LOVE music and psychedelica - track 6. The creatures will make you sway... A slower track, but excellent and groovy. They ask "Why Does It Always Have To Be New?". Well, new is always interesting, and if it is as groovy as this shit I don't mind. Kraftwerk getting diiiiirty. The tempo has picked up and this is sounding scary. This is beyond music and has become art. I am waiting for the bomb to go OFF! Beautiful spectacular MUSIC. Well after this experience all I can expect from you is to LISTEN. 9/10

Nice new sounds from Finland (and from Sweden by Sienis), but I would have expected something newer and a bit more interesting since most of the tracks are just-well- your plain everyday-psytrance and don't offer a lot of the unexcpected, but i must remind, that there are a few good tracks also A reasonably good compilation anyways if you're just getting into the finnish techno/trance music scene.
