MUSIC FOR SUPERMARKET

If you expect kraut/jazz jams of later Ektroverde albums, you're in for a surprise or disappointment with Music for Supermarket. It's got these ridiculously fast programmed drums and odd keyboards on top of them. Think, I dunno, Neu! played on double speed (or faster), or maybe an amateur version of some of the more hectic and rhythmic Jarre tracks, alsoon double speed. Whew! "Kuvasto" could be a later era Zappa song composed for hyperactive cartoons. "Kierros" has very good saxophone playing but it doesn't carry all the way through the track. Closing track "Olin teitä ennen" is a slower one with really strange beat. Could be a leftover Residents demo.

Music for Supermarket works as a conceptual piece, cf. its title, but not as something you'd put on for enjoyable musical experience.
