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 :) ERkki Tampere, pHinland trerra@uta.fi
