Blimey! Finnish label Freakdance Records is out with its 4th release… This time an artist album from Oskari Nuotio aka Puoskari who first surfaced on last year’s mega-strange Freakdance compilation FDCD03. Here’s much more insane stuff from lake country! My fellow reviewer PKS dubbed this vodka-trance – and Per, I couldn’t have said it better… This is some seriously fucked up, drunken, messy shit… And all that is meant as superlatives! ;o) If you’ve ever had the pleasure of listening to Texas Faggot, Squaremeat, Haltya and other Surreal Audio/Exogenic releases you’ll know just what to expect… The trademark Finnish sound that is just about as far away from mainstream trance as you can get… Insane, funky, deeply psychedelic, perverted, dark, gloomy, powerful, unstructured crazy-ass forest stuff! Packed with all kinds of bizarre samples, off key notes, off beats, old school videogames samples, pitched up elephant trunk sounds and so on… Every track consists of thousands of elements – multilayered, entangled short melodies, with so much madness thrown on top…. This shit is loco! The production quality sounds flawless too me – but you can’t really judge that with Finnish stuff can you? You either love this or hate it… Personally, I love it… But not unconditionally! I can only cope with Finnish stuff for a limited time in one listening session – after a while it gets too intense for me… Too damn weird! So I prefer to take my Finnish Delights in small dozes… This is kinda like a bottle of whiskey. 3-4 shots are nice, but drinking the whole bottle will leave you sick… But if you can cope; if you’re a hardened alcoholic, if you’re open-minded and if you like the typical Finnish sound you’ll dig this! I think it’s a nice, refreshing release – definitely out of the ordinary. ;o) Only 700 copies pressed, so you might not want to wait too long ordering this… if you’re the kinda pervert into this! ;o) 6/10 DeathPosture External links: Freakdance Records: www.freakdancerecords.net (Soundclips available) Saiko Sounds: www.saikosounds.com Streetbeat: www.streetbeat.ac Edited June 8, 2005 by DeathPosture Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aisha Posted June 7, 2005 Share Posted June 7, 2005 This album is just one of those that gets better each time you hear it. It's grown to become my personal favorite. Especially number 6: got that whole "Castlevania"-thing going. Very groovy. And the whole there is nothing typical about this album, compared to any of the regular psy trance around. The first 6 tracks are more lighthearted and easier to listen to than the rest of the album. I guess you’ve got to be into what they call suomisaundi, or psytrance from Finnland, to endure the weird circus madness that will befall you from the title song of the album and beyond. Strangely enough the grooviness of the tracks, especially the second track, have a surten Koxbox-kind-of ring to me. What is most interesting about the kind of music Puoskari shows us with this album is that he hardly ever uses a “normal” (tired old) psy trance baseline. That’s why the tracks seem to be a lot faster than they really are. Anyhow, no matter how long we analyze this piece of human brilliance, it’s better to listen to it yourself. If you can get another copy that is, since alas alas, Freakdance records has a habit of printing a minimum of albums. Too bad for the fans with a low amount of cash… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
