ex (1994) was a short-lived Finnish large format magazine, with three issues published altogether, concentrating on techno, house, ambient, IDM and other electronic music genres. As to its other content, ex was profiled as an urban lifestyle magazine, with its very title referencing the perceived target group: "Generation X", the people born approximately in between the years 1965 and 1980. The goal of ex was to offer a fresh alternative to the established "city culture" publications in Finland, namely City and Image , that had originated in the mid-1980s which already felt like ancient times. For the first issue of ex , out in April 1994, acting editor-in-chief was Ville Tiikkonen , and the magazine's production and marketing were also handled by Antti Viitanen , who had previously worked at the financial paper Kauppalehti . Samu Mielonen provided a lot of technical groundwork for the ex magazine, also doing his share as one of its writers. Generall...

Mosaic - 'Big Boy Now' (1968) Mosaic - 'Crazy Train' (1968) When the short-lived Mosaic recorded their only single 'Happier Man' b/w 'Crazy Train', their line-up consisted of British ex-patriate vocalist-keyboardist Frank Robson (1946 - 2024), drummer Raimo "Raikka" Rautarinne (1948 - 2019), guitarist Vladimir "Nikke" Nikamo (1947-) and bassist Olli Könönen (the latter two previously of The Creatures). Mosaic had been founded in 1967 after the breakup of The Creatures. From the former members of Creatures, Könönen, Nikamo, and vocalist Kirill "Kirka" Babitzin joined Mosaic.

It was around the year 2007 when Euphonic , a Finnish record collector, put together an unofficial 2-CDR compilation called Finnish Nuggets: Original Artyfacts from a Remote Northern Country, 1963–1968 . It was modelled after Nuggets: Original Artyfacts from the First Psychedelic Era , a 1972 double album of American psychedelic and garage rock from the mid-to-late 1960s. This collection was curated by Lenny Kaye and released by Elektra Records. Nuggets became a very influential release, inspiring several punk rock bands who came to prominence during the latter part of the 1970s. The compilation spawned not only several sequel albums and later, CD boxes, but also other record labels followed in its wake, with an endless series of obscure garage rock collections such as Pebbles , Rubble and Back from the Grave . Music follows its own fashions, there always being that vast undergrowth which doesn't fit into what's currently accepted as "hip" or "authentic...

Sigue Sigue Sputnik - 'Love Missile F1-11' (1986) "Soon the whole world will know my name." Sigue Sigue Sputnik were a UK act active from 1982 to 1989, being the brainchild of Tony James , earlier of Generation X fame (the band that gave the world Billy Idol ), with Martin Degville on vocals and also featuring guitarist Neal X (a.k.a. Neal Whitmore ), keyboardist Yana YaYa (a.k.a. Jane Farrimond ) and two drummers, Chris Kavanagh and Ray Mayhew . The debut single 'Love Missile F1-11' was unleashed on the unsuspecting world on the 17th of February, 1986, with a music video in tow, directed by Hugh Scott-Symonds . Sigue Sigue Sputnik, supposedly named after a Russian street gang (though it seems the name originates from the Philippines and literally means in Spanish "Go, go, satellite"), were the ultimate 1980s gimmick band and hype act. Their sound can be described a sort of electronic rockabilly. They cited Suicide, the pio...
