A wonderful set of dovetailing cosmic pieces by Finnish Experimental electroacoustic artists Åke Andersson and Antero Honkanen, composed to illustrate paintings of Reidar Särestöniemi at the Experimental Studio of Yleisradio.

With a production style owing to the formative works made at EMS in Stockholm, this set is rife with ghostly voices and errant, floating, bubbling electronics laid out in song-length pieces, with occasional détournement into "Song Of The Second Moon"-esque melodic figures and rhythmic filigree.

Love Records owner Otto Donner saw the commissioned work by the two electroacoustic musicians, who in their daily life were sound technicians at the Finnish Broadcasting Corporation, and immediately wanted to produce an album of the project. The 1977 album, which has ended up a very costly collector's item, hasn't been reissued in any format until now.
