Some further comments to the Jimi Tenor interview
I forgot from my previous post:

Jimi also made some short films, one of them was called 'Dr.
Abortenstein', and the others had similarly crass themes with
penises and stuff... Two of them premiered in Helsinki last
winter, and the critics were of course terrified :)

Actually, there were some albums before this, some as 'Jimi Tenor
and Shamans', also some solo work - I think Jimi has been in
the music business over ten years now. His older records were
mostly industrial, experimental or funky stuff - maybe some
of the best to ever come out of Finland. I remember seeing
a performance with Jimi, with banging on loads of empty oil
barrels, and some weird music... IDM as hell, of course :)
