Aavikko

Formed in Siilinj�rvi in year 1995, Aavikko has thus far released six albums. On 'Monopoly' the band finds itself near these ultimate concepts. The album returns from the escapist crystal oceans of its predecessor 'Okeanos' to a sweaty concreteness to the middle of noise, speed and color lights. The touch is however enthusiastic and cheerful, kind of utopic. 'Monopoly' is a token of rare optimism. It seems to trust the technology itself - not what can potentially be made of it. It has a will to use electronic tehcnology as a way people's heart and soul. The singles 'Go And Know', 'Quartal Quatch' and 'Superdeep Borehole' are a pure manifestation of "Disco Muysic". It is functional music - mere synthetic assemblage of electronic sounds, that's meant to be used.
