Pekka Airaksinen - Other Power

In late sixties Airaksinen was best known as the musical master mind behind the notorious avantgardist group Sperm, which released a groundbreaking album of noisy minimalism called Shh! in 1970.
Two years later Airaksinen, always ahead of his time, released One Point Music, a seminal composition filled with clattering rhythm box beats and eerie organ grooves.
After One Point Music, he vanished into the ether for more than a decade, mostly concentrating in Buddhist meditation and inner space traveling.
In 1984 Airaksinen was finally ready to shower the universe with Buddhas of Golden Light, his most exquisite work to date. A mesmerizing musical message of expanded consciousness, transmitted via Roland's TR-808 -rhythm composer and Yamaha's DX-7 -synthesizer. Buddhas of Golden Light quietly became a cult album. Buddhas of Golden Light is one of the all-time favorite records of the Harmönia -staff, so it was mind-blowing for us to find out that there were more tapes existing from the same era.
And here they are: cream of the crop, first time on vinyl as a limited edition of 500 copies!
