Sig (named after Schweiz­erische Industrie-Gesellschaft) is a pop band from Raisio, Fin­land. The band was founded as a punk/new wave band late 70s. They (Matti Ink­i­nen and Matti Ranta) wanted to set up a band which would be “Ramones from Raisio” pow­ered with synths (Ramones on synths? Kom­pleksi anybody)?

I haven’t really lis­tened to their other tracks but I have a hunch, a good hunch. Basi­cally, it is quite generic pop-rock but they have man­aged to work out an inter­est­ing piece of music. “Älä sinä huoli” (= Don’t you worry) has a vocoder in it. Albeit a poor one but still! And of course a lit­tle of syn­the­siz­ers and syn­thetic bass. The singing is just infer­nal but as a whole the track man­ages to enter­tain. Dur­ing the time (1983), usage of vocoder was quite rare in pop­u­lar music I think. At least in Finnish music. Per­haps there is an option to arrange remix or edit? Per­haps, maybe, certainly!

Well here is the piece. Enjoy if you dare.
