A loose-form instrumental hypno-groove-prog-ambient-jazz collective led by Circle-guru Jussi Lehtisalo.
Their fast expanding discography seems neatly divided: the more experimental or ambient records are mostly released by
labels like Jussi's own Ektro, and Bad Vugum gets the groovier stuff...
Out on Bad Vugum:
Arpeggio CD
(Bad-87)
Ah, the whole big band is really letting loose on the big one; six long, deliciously accessible,
hypnotically groovy -yet musically ambitious tracks that combine Ektroverde's best traits -- and makes
your mind tap along. “For fans of Can,
Neu, and Bill Lasswell’s remixes of Miles Davis.” –CMJ New Music Report (USA).
Music For Supermarket MCD
(Bad-73)
19 mins. Cheap electronics and frantic beats mostly by a solo J.Lehtisalo. Like a rabid Panasonic
with entertaining songs?
"Elektroonista venkoilua, joka ei vierasta jatsia eikä huumoria." -T.V. "Hysteerisen
nopealla
tempolla nakuttava koneinstrumentaalilätty on toteutettu vinhalla asenteella ja varmalla tyylitajulla." -Soundi.
