Comment: it is nice to see the Finnish one-man-project Thuoom is back with his brand new album Organism by perpetuating the glorious tradition of Finnish experimental music being created by such artists as Erkki Kurenniemi, Pan Sonic, early Jimi Tenor, Kemialliset Ystävät, Keijo, Uton. Of course, Tuomo continues trudging his personal path by constituting an uncanny whole of crunchy debris, bleeping techno-alike throbs and bent drones and galvanized electronic effects. In fact, the glitches the outing consisting only of are conjured up by exploiting a sound card in a wrong way. And it is a bit different approach in comparison to the artist's previous issues. First time I wrote comments on his first album more than 10 years ago but so far I had avoided the artist's invented term forestelektro. Regarding the recent case it would be sinful to reject it – at times it chimes like the most provocative and mud-eating moments of Throbbing Gristle, at times like a slowly melting substation to get eventually fucked up. However, the aforementioned examples can be handled inseparably as well. As similarly as before the 11-track outing is issued on Tuomo's own Textural Healing. A purgative asylum for all of those who would like to stay far away from bullshit and from superficial appearances in our everyday's life.
