i bought this record back in 2008 and then i just knew what it was and who it was by but i didn't know how it sounded. the straight skinny is that it's the most unusual thing in the catalogue of finnish producer jaakko salovara (more known as js16). anyone who is familiar with him know that he produced the first bomfunk mc's album, co-produced darude's first album and makes tracks with heikii litmanen (aka bostik) as dallas superstars. along with that a whole bunch of trancers and other eurodancers under a few different monikers but yeah not many that holds up well nowadays.
the record came out on puu which is the housier imprint on finnish label sähkö. it's a four tracker ep and has a mowax meets compost records meets jimi tenor sort of thing to it. the whole ep is just jazz samples twisted up in a bristol kind of manner and to be honest it's not that impressive and there is only one standout track which is "luna en la pampa".
on this one salovaara gets some help from tenor's labelmate maurice fulton and while the beginning sounds like other tracks on the ep, this has some kick to it in the meatend part.
buy here (boomkat)
oh and with discogs lurking, much like i found out the existance of this record there is one other jaakko salovaara record that strays out of his usual zone and it's a record he made in '93 with mika vainio (more known as Ø). also released on säkhö, however i have no idea how it sounds or if it's any good. but i think it's funny that two people like salovaara and vainio who couldn't be any more distant sonically made a record together.
