The New Blockaders - Sceam! Tape (KAS, 1990)
Counterfeit material purporting to be TNB. As with much of the stuff mr. Seki has released, this is just awesome, although at this point I'm a bit biased. Side A starts with metal abuse manipulated on K7, ascending out of almost complete silence and pretty much keeps going with only a couple interruptions in the first half. Nice industrious sound. Side B, on the contrary is not that obvious with source materials. Couple of loops, again tape manipulation, but this side is rather hot, while side A is just warm. Overall a nice tape, although I don't really think it sounds like typical TNB, more similar to The Haters of that era and reminiscent of Odal.
Stinkfinger - Forced Alibi CD (Freak Animal, 2025)
Acquired this at the Iron Shadows last week. The event itself was great and I couldn't have missed this disc. And plainly, just as described by the label, it's got a very 90's american feel to it, while still having moments of contrast, which so many of the HN tapes of the aforementioned era lack. Not too long, captivating, good stuff!
Turun kaupunginorkesteri with Jorma Panula – Suomalaisia Klassisia Suosikkisävelmiä CD (Naxos, 1995)
Grabbed this one in some second-hand store on my last day in Oulu. Was never really familiar with any finnish classics, but this compilation is a very intriguing insight! Considering the amount of discs in that store it was, of course, the visual which caught my eye in contrast with dozens of 2000's pop CDs which fill most of the shelves. Greatly composed, seemingly absent transitions. The only part I didn't really like were couple of pieces written by Mr. Einojuhani Rautavaara. Other than that, gracious.
