Ari Vaahtera - Mustat Rummut (1987 Not on Label / Self released)


In 70s he played bass guitar and guitar and was a vocalist in Kalevala and Bluesounds. Ari's singing reminds me somehow of the style of Ismo Alanko (Hassisen Kone). Mustat Rummut is 80's modern (laconic?) synth pop (side A) or post punk style (side B) taking something from Duran Duran, Talking Heads, Pet Shop Boys, Gabriel, Human League, 80s Bowie and so on.



Vaarallisia valloituksia 1991. Pleasant and well made music. These two albums were a bit surprise to me - in a positive meaning.
