Finnish Snow-Walks And Dances (The Sound Of Snow: A Collection Of Finnish Snow Music) LP (2005)

Recordings of Snow Music are rare, and even more rarely are they presented to a greater public. This may seem curious, considering that the Kalevala, the national epos of the Finnish people, explicitly mentions songs scooped out of the frost. Despite this lack of official presentation, snow tunes and rituals have been performed long before and after the publication of the Kalevala in 1835. This album now lays some of the finest examples of Finnish Snow Music in your hands. Most of the material originates from field recordings made in North Karelia and Lapland. The modern pieces were recorded in Helsinki, Turku and Tampere. Snow Music can be performed in a variety of manners: traditional, modernist, eccentric. And a new generation of musicians has taken on the task of evaluating and redefining the older traditions of ritual tunes and word magic. The impact of Snow Music has grown with the increasing need for a musical identity incorporating the poetic universe of snow. With this compilation, Snow Music marks its entry into the 21st century. ~Sisukas Poronainen, February 2005.

The Xul People - Cassette (2008)

The Xul People are a tribe of people who developed a higher form of self and intelligence. It is believed that this tribe communicates with 'higher lifeforms' or e.t. lifeforms... Xul People always have been a big mystery for both authorities and anthropologists. Maybe this tape holds some of the secrets and facts?! This is a rare aural document of their songs, language, communication, coded messages and dance heritage. What it sounds like is a tape of modern-day field-recordings of African drum rituals, slowed down just enough to make the chants sound like roars and groans and maybe, just maybe, possession by demonic 'higher e.t. lifeforms'.

Maria Zerfall - Kopfkrieg 1985-1995

"Like a ghost of Fassbinder's spirit of post-war Germany Maria Zerfall have arose - mechanic Maria from Fritz Lang's “Metropolis”, the archaic Goddess of her personal cults, the ruthless destructive messenger of the sonic Armageddon - ashes to ashes, sound to sound, devastation to devastation: claustrophobia to claustrophobia. The industrial mantras, rough springs of low bass, perforate static ultra-noises and amplitude vibrations, monotonous droning eclipses, chaotic naked distressing echoes, sting poison groans of mysterious signals, larynx wheezing from reflections of the steel death, decadence of depressed machines. Combined with the lonely monotonous monologues in German it seems it looks like a dying whale cry, like a German military disco in the Gas Camera of Europe, like a war - no taboo, no limit, no mercy!…" ~Igor Vaganov 1999
