V/A - More Arctic Hysteria: Son of Arctic Hysteria, 2CD, Love Records, 2005

...the later years of early Finnish avant-garde. Another incredible volume, following the inspiration and eye-opening 2001 CD Arktinen hysteria - Suomi-avantgarden Wsipuutarhureita. Pefectly packaged document of more utterly obscure electronic mayhem and theatrical intoxication, presented as near-high-art. "Now covered are the 1970s and 1980s. 34 artists. Featuring a lavishly illustrated leaflet of 20 pages. Compiled by Jukka Lindfors. Featuring Jimi Tenor, Läjä Äijälä and early Mika Vainio (Pan sonic), The Sperm activists Mattijuhani Koponen and Pekka Airaksinen, Edward Vesala at his wildest, Kari Peitsamo, Kauko Röyhkä and Sleepy Sleepers at their most experimental and many other musical alchemists from Pekka Streng to Reinin Myrkky - as a bonus some no-holds-barred sound experiments of Kaj Chydenius and M.A. Numminen from the '60s."

This is the follow-up to the original album posted here (click for info) and explores the next two decades of Finnish experimentation, and it gives a good representation of how the unique ideas formulated in the 60's Finnish underground changed into the next few years, as well as new ones that starting appearing at that time. If you liked the first one, you're gonna want this too! Here's the tracklisting...
