Hi Julien,

Thank you for your lengthy and detailed review, I felt very honoured to 
read such an in-depth description. I also appreciate your frank remarks 
on what you did not like in the album.

Yep, the particular sound you point at reminds me of Friday the 13th 
movies, while the rest of the song really doesn't :D Well, the lyrics 
are slightly creepy though. That sound is from a sample that came out at 
least 10 years ago, probably when toying with some Korg M1 soundbank, I 
cannot recall for sure.

> Do you like Pink Floyd? 
Yes, you are right :) A substantial part of my musical "education" in 
late 90's included endless jam sessions, which often departed from 
'Lucifer Sam', 'Interstellar Overdrive' or ''Set the Controls...".

It's from a collection of samples made with my friend's Groovebox, again 
years ago.

The last one has been a dear and difficult one for me and that's why it 
is the last. It was first intended for an ambient project influenced by 
early Aphex Twin, FSOL and Neural Network, but this is what came out 
instead... Perhaps the guitars and vocals have some connection to our 
current project, the album of Valistuksen Tuhosieni, which is a 
prog-rock-post-punk-who-knows band.

>   Akll in all, a nice album, I'll be sure to keep for more listenings.

Thanks again Julien!! :)

Cheers,

Tapani
