Kemialliset Ystävät : Lumottu Karkkipurkki (FIN,2005)*°
First we hear a combination of droney and blurry pop, with multilayered almost-nonsensical playing with some seemingly sense of combinations too, and its own evolutions as a kind of soundscape, with acoustic and amplified circular improvisations, and with field recordings as well as other snippets, all expressed and put into a puzzle which is like a kind of an undeliberate? dream vision full of images. The music is based upon an obscure childrens book of the same name. The story was about a boy with a candy bar bought from a witch. Each time the boy takes a colourful drop the surroundings change. More parts are even more based upon plucked improvisations on various instruments, which are again somewhat fragmented but perhaps also hanging together in time like a deliberate vision on plants on the ground. This is combined with song, dogs barks, noises etc., still a bit more chaotic in structure at times and coincidental in nature which is how they loose a descriptive strength. For me this is not the kind of release to say I cannot get enough of. I personally think it can be done better. Never the less sometimes the carpet becomes that scary colourful forest of the aforementioned children book.
