Simply amazing,he is simply the Finn version of Beck,with enough publicity,i believe he can be as famous,his music creation is weird and tasteful, eclectic might be a jargon for trash bands like Gomez and the Beta Band. Still,his music taste takes a man years to appreciate.

I have to say that the review I wrote a year ago is absolutely drivel. How could I ever compare the lovely Jimi to the... well, the man-boy who is supposed to be Bob Dylan of our generation? No, no, that comparison is utterly unfair. Beck seriously has gained too much fame for his own good, just compare his recently pseudo-Princey offering to his classic 'Odelay'.Well, Jimi Tenor is downright different from his peers.He is one of the few recognizable faces under the Warp label, in the same way as Aphex i guess. As oppose to the cold and abrasive Machine Music his contempories make, his music is more humane, electronic music with a human face. In addtion to that, he is one of the brightest star in Finland, yet his talent is still not fully-recognized internationally. It's good actually, just listen to Bjork's new offering, compare it with her..let's say 'Play Dead', you will actually realize that how fame can murder one's talent relentlessly. Talking about 'Organism' the album, i made it my No.5 top album of 1999. It is beautiful, diverse in style, yet coherent, I like the way he blends jazz with electronic music, so refreshing. I know many artists are doing that, but his sound is unique. He is apparently one of a kind. Despite the fact that he is not one of those ground-breaking artists like Amon Tobin or Aphex Twin I suppose, but listening to his music is even more enjoyable than listening to the Chemical Brothers. Yeah, it's true!

My mind is an open book honey... I love this song! Sorry Jimi but I don't like your low-tone voice. Besides that the cd is awesome! It's groove and jazzy and noisy and so calm when needed. The inclusion of chorus' is just amazing, and there are songs like I've been looking for from the previous albums...like Never Say it Loud and Outta Space. My god this is a rich cd in all its ways. This is the kind of artists that make me feel good about synths, where the muusician is indeed a musician and not a guy with no musical knowledge. Great Jimi! Keep 'em coming!

Jimi Tenor is the best pop star I have seen since David Bowie! This album is testament to the mans place in the rich tapestry of rawk! Tenor pulls off a rare trick here by wearing his influences on his sleeve (Baz White, Stan Getz, Gary Numan, Frank Sinatra, Gary Glitter...) yet somehow creates something quite original.

Sugar Daddy's Glitter Band drum beat hijacks a moody Human League synth melody and is the most immediate track on the album, but with repeated listening other tracks soon become favourites. Overall, a mad, humorous and eclectic mix of styles fed through the tenorizer and a mad scientist at the controls. What more could you possibly ask??

Buy this album and help make Jimi a star!!!

A soft record that makes you mellow
