A small correction: as someone on this list may already know, Jimi Tenor has been doing music already since the mid-80's (with his industrial band The Shamans); he only took his present easy listening (Jimi hates this moniker) guise about '93-'94. I guess time just wasn't right for the kind of music he churns out. Btw, I'm translating from Finnish an extensive interview on Jimi, which should shed more light on his earlier phases, along with some juicy pics (e.g. from his short film 'Urinator'). If someone insists checking those out already (and a little Finnish lesson won't hurt anyone ;), point your browsers to http://www.sci.fi/~phinnweb/jt_like.html - and of course, don't forget http://www.sci.fi/~phinnweb/tenor.html (phew, I'm starting to feel more like Gonzi day by day ;) ...
