via titanic's humorkritik i came across the finnish band aavikko: "they construct and construct, compose and rework. for a long, long time". true, the amount of tracks available is quite impressing.

some older titles remind me of the atmosphere in a casino at closing hour on a ferry between mariehamn and turku ("vaaleanpunainen palvelu"). they already define the typical sound of the guys from siilinjärvi, cheap casio beatbox and clunky organ sounds ("samojedien keskuudessa"). tracks from the still fresh release "multi muysic" even have some potential to drop a little bomb on the floor ("torpedo boys").

on 25 october 2001 aarvikko play live in vienna's chelsea. more about finnish electronic music can be found at phinnweb.

btw. the name of the "flying finn" is spelled without but pronounced with umlaut-a.
