And another developing formation of Finnish Space Rock. "Y'hoitajan Maailmasta" was released in 2009 (and reissued
in 2013 with a colourfully painted sleeve) as the second (and the latest so far) album of a Helsinki-based 'masked'
Space Rock outfit AVARUUSKORPRAALI PAHA HIRVI. As mentioned in my review for the first album, this production
launches more of 'rock' appearances on the whole (some electropsych moments or streams can be heard e.g. in
"Intro", "V'likuolema" or so though). It's no suspicion they should be inspired by a Space Rock pioneer Hawkwind, and
in the second opening "Avaruus, Avaruus" they unveil vibrant missiles of heavy machinery spacey rock. Sounds like
Northern Europe Power Metal meets Hawkwind-y Space Rock. Energetic sound texture with repetitive flowery outer-
spacey melody lines can overwhelm us. Guess the audience in front of the combo would have been immersed in their
voluptuous soundscape all around the venue. Very funny and funky is "Avaruustissit" featuring pretty uptempo danceable rhythmic bases. Smart and cool vibes they discharge. Slight simple and catchy for their creation but why don't we accept such an eccentricity during a powerful gig? On the contrary, "Kauniit Silm't",'veiled in dark, distorted, depressive kosmische atmosphere with fragile electronika on the top, would be dignified and solemn for us. A similar phrase is repeated again and again but the synthesizer-oriented sound background gets developing smoothly. "Munakello" is also tranquil and quiet, slightly with ethnic tribal initiative. This musical touch (or "Kauniit Silm't" mentioned before) reminds me of the similar vein to some Finnish units like Horte or Kairon; IRSE! The last run "Seksuaalisuuden Her''minen" involves a mass of energy. Highly pitched kinetic expression and dramatic realization will encourage us eventually. What a wonder. Vivacious inspiration and intention for heavy space rock is quite crucial. Such an incredible energy must certify them on stage or on production.
