Release date: 6 June 2012

Press release notes:

Ektro Records proudly presents the pioneer of Finnish electronic and
experimental music - Mr. Erkki Kurenniemi. The tracks released here -
produced during 1963-1975 - include Kurenniemi’s focal works and
previously unreleased raw material composed as solo works - as well as
works in collaboration with Kari Hakala, Jukka Ruohomäki, Otto Donner
and Eino Ruutsalo.

Kurenniemi’s impulsive attitude towards his art - including electronic
music, films, media art, instrument design - is perfectly captured in
his composition rules presented as a guide line
of the release:

#1 The work has to be completed in a single day
#2 Consecutive sounds must be chosen so that they are totally
inconsistent or surprising and have no rational relationship with each
other
#3 ..?

Carefully chosen masterpieces are newly digitized from the original
master tapes with highest possible sample rate and resolution (192
kHz, 24 bit) to preserve a pristine listening experience. Kurenniemi’s
works are now heard first time as genuine as possible for no
artificial restoration applied in the remastering process.

Pieces compiled on this double LP and wrapped in the astonishing
gatefold cover (350 g) will be out only on vinyl.

Aavikon Kone ja Moottori: ‘Karavaani’ (“Caravan”, 1979)

Aavikon Kone ja Moottori (“Desert’s machine and motor”) was an experimental trio active in 1979-80, hailing from Tornio in the Northern Finland, consisting of Veli-Matti “Läjä” Äijälä (later of Terveet Kädet, an internationally-acclaimed hardcore punk act), Pekka Ruth and Seppo Oförsagd; armed with British Wasp synthesizer and creating sparse electronic sound which predated the output of Mika Vainio and Pan sonic for some fifteen years. For their own label IKBAL Aavikon Kone ja Moottori released two singles, both consisting of only one track. Re-releases can be found on Bad Vugum’s 1995 The Golden Greats of IKBAL and Passions of Läjä Äijälä retrospective in 2004.
