A review by
Azhidahak December 13, 2004
Aarni is basically a one man band (Markus Marjooma) but with "4 personalities" who are the following:
Master Warjoomaa: Intuition & xothian kantele
Comte de Saint-German: Sensation & keys to secrets
Doomintroll: Feeling & sense of fashion
Mrs. Pam: Thinking & fuck-ups
Lyrically the band takes influences from anything you can imagine, from themes such as Finnish folklore, shamanism and occultism to "brain-change" and "collective & personal liberation".
The music has a very soft and relaxing atmosphere, full of fantasy and dreamy landscapes. If you listen to this album and close your eyes, you can almost imagine yourself in another dimension, where cats have four heads, dogs have wings and zebras are gathered to practice kevhulian magick. In this planet, humans are the most stupid and dumb creatures that exist, and therefore, most of them are servants for chemically produced creatures such as oxydonic worms and carbohydrogenic ants. The somehow mellow and melodic side of this album have covered this planet with a green layer, giving it a warm and harmonic feeling.
You think this review is weird? Then I must say that I'm disappointed at myself for not being able to write a review that is as weird as Aarni´s music (weird in a positive way).
