Found this today! Lis­ten to the clips here. Awe­some italodisco cov­ers sang in finnish. Can’t wait until I get a hold of this.

I won­der who are the peo­ple behind this project. Ear­lier they have brought us the uber­cool “Homokiss­a­puisto” — “Mä olen vokoderi” which is cover of Gay Cat Park’s “I am a vocoder”.

Aww! Last night was some­thing unbe­lie­ve­able! My neck is sore for mosh­ing too much. The audi­ence was very recep­tive when con­sid­er­ing the nature of scotch egg’s music. Well here is a clip where Scotch Egg sum­mons peo­ple to the stage to sing karaoke! Can’t remem­ber the song’s name they’re singing just now though, if some­body knows please let me know.

Tomor­row all hell breaks loose!

Very spe­cial night in these lat­i­tudes. Per­son­ally I have seen Huo­ra­tron once (2004 QStock, Oulu) and it was very ener­getic, I just had to dance for entire time! He knows how to encour­age audi­ence. Game Boy mad­ness! I heard that Huoratron’s debyt full lenght album is com­ing out this year, finally.

As anx­ious as I am about wit­ness­ing Huo­ra­tron again, DJ Scotch Egg is some­thing you just don’t see here often, rock­ing with game boy also but with Gabba and Glitch flavour on it. Just watch the clip to see what is all about.

Unfor­tu­nately O Samuli A has can­celled but there are also our celebri­ties Desert Planet. Seen it many times but they are always good. I hope they have some new songs though.The whole event is part of AV-Mediaculture (Uni­ver­sity of Lap­land) unit’s 15 year old birth­day party. There is also a sem­i­nar “Äänen ulot­tuvu­udet” (= Dimen­sions of sound) tomor­row at the uni­ver­sity about videogame music and etc.

The first actual post is about some rare finnish disco-rock cov­er­song called ‘Naisen Haluan’ (= I want a woman) by Jakke & Jokke.
I found this song cou­ple of years ago from the album ‘Hit­ti­paraati 10′ (1979) which is a com­pi­la­tion of finnish pop songs. This ‘Hit­ti­paraati 10′ was actu­ally in a sleeve of ‘The best of Italo-Disco vol. 10′ which I found from local second-hand shop.

The song sounds kind of like Prince and to be exact, his Jamie Starr pseu­do­nym in side­pro­ject called ‘The Time’.
Espe­cially the vocals but the rest of track is much more heav­ier with gui­tars and stuff. The elec­tric bass sounds good. It has a short synth­solo towards to the end but it leaves you demand­ing more of it.

There aren’t much infor­ma­tion about the per­form­ers Jakke & Jokke. Jokke is a pseu­do­nym for Jorma Sep­pälä and he has arranged cou­ple of songs for euro­vi­sion con­test in 1985. It seems that they did not make it to the main con­test. It also appears that they have had some kind of con­nec­tion with Danny and Kirka. Jokke has com­posed few songs for Kirka and been also singing in the back­ground. They are musi­cians at the very least.

As I said at the begin­ning, ‘Naisen Haluan’ is actu­ally a cover of Supercharge’s ‘I can see right through you’ from the album ‘Bodyrhythm’ (Vir­gin 12118, 1979).

Super­charge is kind of British disco-rock band on Vir­gin label in late 1970’s led by Robert John “Mutt” Lange.

Super­charge — I Can See Right Through You (320kbps 16mb)

The orig­i­nal song is much longer clock­ing over 6 min­utes while the finnish cover is 3 min­utes. The lat­ter part of the song con­sists breaks and stuff, ready to be sam­pled and suit­able for doing remake or edit or what­ever. There exists 12″ and 7″ of ‘Naisen Haluan’ with cat­a­log# Polar­vox rps 130. If any­body has a spare copy, please send me e-mail. The Super­charge sin­gle is not that rare if you look into right places. But beware, some peo­ple ask over 50 pounds of it while oth­ers are sat­is­fied with 5.
