3RD ERECTION

Mattijuhani Koponen described his intentions with the album as to create "freak-out" music. Most certainly succeeded attempt, and also reaching unique heights of non-commercialism from Finnish musical scene of the time of recording. The title track introduces the sound for which the whole release is practically built on, atonal lo-fi abstractions from voices generated with electric guitar and amplified vocal shrieking with poor recording quality. These tonal elements are assembled as grotesque sculptures on rattling radio signal resembling scenery. "Hero" has more recognizable gonzo-rhythm, and reminds the most ancestral krautrock rites On the B-side of the album, "Pillow" is borne from mechanical raw voices and mechanically treated reciting, and the final "Staffstaff" alienates toward very distant sounds, fast pace rolling faint signals spinning freely on tone of naivistic fanfare. As a whole, a really obscure record, not in my opinion a source for much listening enjoyment, but certainly an avant-gardist statement, which possibly contains timeless qualities of confusion.
