Sigue Sigue Sputnik - Love Missile F1-11 (1986)
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...
Bring the Beat Back by Hannu Puttonen (1992)
“For me, house means liberation from the burden of history and musical tradition. Rock is dead.” Bring the Beat Back! is a 1992 techno music documentary by Finnish director/screenwriter Hannu Puttonen (1960 - 2023), made in close collaboration with video artist Kimmo Sininen who provided visuals for the film. Talo, jonka Jaska jätti rakentamatta ("The house that Jack left unbuilt") is the alternative title for the film. With the length of 45 minutes, the documentary managed to capture the spirit of those heady days when the new electronic dance music culture was loaded with high hopes and expectations, for better or worse. The film had its Finnish premiere on 3 July 1992 at Illusion cinema in Helsinki. Soon afterwards it was shown on Finnish television (YLE TV1, 10 July 1992), with some five minutes left off from the original version. Unfortunately, these days it's very hard to see the film in any format. Hannu Puttonen Hannu Puttonen explained the ...
Once Upon a Time... ex (1994)
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...
