Catalog #:	PUU 17 LP

"Martin Rev is known as the music-writer half of the legendary NYC duo Suicide, who pioneered a revolution in electronic sound in the late 1970s. Suicide's rough hypnotic and minimalist sound paved the way for most of the electronic bands of the 1980s and set the base for the following emergence of techno/electronica. In his solo career, Martin Rev has released three albums so far, his last in 1997. As a solo artist Rev, who was originally a free jazz keyboard player, has a more melodic sound than Suicide. Strangeworld is a collection of his new songs from the past few years, all of them previously unreleased. All the production, instruments, and vocals are done by Rev himself. The bare sounds of synths and electronics, his delicate voice and manner of singing, makes Strangeworld a very honest and intimate album. One cannot avoid the impression that Martin Rev has seen life from enough different sides to know what he's singing about."

Artist:	IMPOSTOR ORCHESTRA
Title:	Heliopause
Label:	SAHKO/PUU (FINLAND)
Format:	CD
Price:	$15.00
Catalog #:	PUU 19 CD

"Jimi Tenor is ostentatious a 50's to 70's influenced lo-fi keyboardist, who is the antithesis of the close-cropped, undemonstrative club-cool that is dominated 90's dance music. The instrumental-genius Jimi Tenor always surprises his audience with unconventional, spheric and outta-space releases. Now he presents Heliopause on the Finnish label Sähkö Recordings, an orchestral opus, on which he worked as a producer for the Imposter Orchestra. Heliopause is a dark and mythical epoch from the dark side of the stars. Includes a strange collection of radio jingles for an imaginary intergalactical space station."

Artist:	TENOR, JIMI
Title:	Cosmic Relief
Label:	SAHKO/PUU (FINLAND)
Format:	CD
Price:	$8.00
Catalog #:	PUU 25 CD

"The return of Jimi. Returning to the Finnish label that set the wheels in motion, PUU (a subsidiary of Sähkö Recordings), starting things off with the Cosmic Relief EP. The great Finn-master returns. Jimi, of course, is in the world league of superstars. Just finishing his performances with full orchestra for his amazing Out of Nowhere LP, his third and final LP recorded for Warp. Jimi and Warp have parted company in a harmonious fashion, but he's off on his own, and returning, albeit briefly, to the label he never really left, PUU. Jimi over the years has recorded for Puu under the pseudonym Impostor Orchestra, and in collaborations with a variety of artists, including producing Brandi Ifgray, Nicole Willis, City Of Women and many others. Cosmic Relief includes the hit 'Moon Folks', which Jimi has performed repeatedly over the years. This EP and the forthcoming LP Planet One is Jimi at his lo-fi finest. Definitely the stripped down sound that Tenor made his name on in his early performances, but lacking nothing in groove, mellow vibe or deep spaced-out aura."
