An intriguing set of previously unreleased material from Finnish electronic pioneer Pekka Airaksinen, Other Power collects home recordings made during the late ‘70s and early ‘80s, when Airaksinen was in somewhat of a self-imposed exile from the music industry at large. In the late ‘60s, Airaksinen had led the confrontational performance art collective The Sperm and released a solo album of fractured electronic experimentation, One Point Music, before converting to Buddhism and retreating from the public sphere. The recordings gathered here are drawn largely from this period of hermeticism. They're as remarkable as anything in Airaksinen’s highly unpredictable oeuvre, ranging from the jittery synthetic free jazz of “Suvarnaratnakaracchatrakuta” to the icy proto-techno of “Simhaghosha." Devotees of early electronic music, deep house, and the more outré late-era experiments of Sun Ra & His Arkestra will find much to appreciate here. But in truth, these genuinely strange deeply experimental recordings exist in a musical space entirely their own and have no real peers.
