Luuvitosen Vippi #12 - Sten Ove Toft, Ryfylke
Tuesday, March 21, 2006
Norwegian experimental sound duo Ryfylke’s latest album arrived to my mailbox and left me soon wondering what it actually was telling me. I enjoyed the atmosphere Ryfylke was creating, but for the task of reviewing it, I had to email Sten Ove Toft and ask few things about their views on approaching the concept of music. Finnish readers can check that review at Noise.fi.
Anyway, as the ice was broke, I thought it’d be great to learn more about the musical tastes of Toft and asked him to make me a five-song mp3 mixtape. So, if you are interested in finding out about new (?) music from the more experimental end of Scandinavian artists, please check these mp3s.
Ryfylke - “Morild (excerpt)” mp3
Ryfylke - “Nuema Brister (excerpt)” mp3
More Ryfylke mp3s and other Roggbif Records artists’ mp3s
Theme Toft selected to go with was The Comfort in Blood.
01: Next Life - “Red Stone” mp3
Track from Next Life’s new album Electric Violence. Harsh Amiga-metal.
[To get the track, you’ll have to download zipped label sampler, ~ 75 MB. Other Next Life mp3s can be found from their homepage. - Lupatarkastaja]
02: Jon Eriksen - “3′24″” mp3
AI AI! This swedish bloke really knows how to push the limits. It is quite difficult to get more extreme than this.
Evil track taken from their new album Metal Music Machine.
04: Noxagt - “Cupid Shot Me” mp3
A full-on testosterone bastard this one. You just want to drink beer in an impressive tempo when you hear it.
Fuck yeah.
No one blames you if you haven’t heard of

Tällä kertaa Luuvitosen Vipin tarjoaa jyväskyläläinen Timo Häkkinen, joka soittaa rumpuja Atakhamassa (kuva, Timo toinen vasemmalta), Wherevictimsliessa ja Sotajumalassa. Nopeana, tarkkana ja säntillisesti harjoittelevana rumpalina tunnettu mies sai juuri endorsement-sopimuksen Pearlin kanssa. Ei ihan mikään pikku juttu. Atakhaman levy Existence Indifferent julkaistiin noin kuukausi sitten ja onpa lätty täällä Lupatarkastajan HQ:ssakin soinut tiheeseen. Hieno kotimainen death metal -levy kyseessä. Vitosessaan Timo sitten yllättikin valitsemalla varsin rauhallisia kappaleita.
Tämänkertainen luuvieras on helsinkiläisen
