PEKKA AIRAKSINEN

One Point Music

(O Records - OROLP035) LP $18.00 (Out-of-stock)

When The Sperm began to wither away in the early '70s, Pekka Airaksinen released One Point Music in 1972, a shining moment in his discography, characterized by a sense of improvisation and casual roughness that is rare in electronic music. Soon after he became a Buddhist and stopped releasing music for a decade. Regarded as a recluse, he returned to the public eye in the mid-'80s with a new but equally futuristic vision, exemplified by Buddhas of Golden Light (O Records 1984), an incredible mixture of Sun Ra’s cosmic free jazz and twisted rhythms programmed on a Roland 808 drum machine. Limited edition reissue.
