I was introduced to Kemopetrol by a friend. I actually just sat there, silently, and listened "slowed down" from start to finnish. I couldn't believe that as a Finn, I had never heard of this band before. It's one of my favorite chill-out/rock/funk albums because it's really like no other band ive heard. Each song is different in its own way and yet each song is equally as good. Overall, its just a cd you wont get sick of and you can listen to over and over again (trust me, I have). Of the two albums Kemopetrol has released, i would definetely recomment this one. I think their "sound" is more evident in Slowed Down, although the other album is still worth buying.

I bought this album after hearing it on a listening station at a FNAC in Barcelona. I bought the CD on a whim not realizing why the group name sounded familiar. The next night I had tickets to see Hooverphonic in concert and it turned out that Kemopetrol was opening. They played all 10 songs off the then newly released album. I thought they kicked Hooverphonic's *ss! The album has become one of my all time favorites. I can't wait till the new album comes out!

If you like a good combination of rock, pop, funk, trance, and dance all wrapped together with sleak vocals and lots of style--get this album. You won't regret it!

This awesome record was finnish band Kemopetrol's debut LP and
it is absolutely brilliant.Fortunately I live in Finland and saw them play a free(!) gig in my home town 2 days ago. Their singer Laura is something else, a gorgeous young woman and an amazing singer too! Anyway, with this cd they quickly became one of Finland's greatest bands. It's filled with great, dynamic music from the beautiful piano & Laura duet "View of the sea" to raw, distorted guitars of "Drown little girl". Now they have released a second album called "Everything's fine", which immediatly took number 1 place of the finnish official album chart. It should be available outside Finland later and when it is, get it - it's great too!

I don't know much about these Finns, but that won't stop me from listening this record over and over again. The soothing female vocals and synths make this incredibly succesful mix of chilled-out funky pop complete. Listen to the bass lines in 'Disbelief' and 'Night After Night', which are somewhat Incubus-like, or to one of my favorites - opening track 'Tomorrow', which could be described as 'Wicked Beat Sound System meets Briskeby'. All in all, this is one of those albums that make it worth searching for new artists all the time...

These guys are doing so good. This is the first album the release and they've got a special mix of pop-music with some surprises give them an special sound. Anyway they are a clasic band (guitar/bass/drums/vocals) but they add the keyboards and some samplers ..... I saw them this week in Madrid. And I suggest to you to see them, the CD will not dissapoint you. I'm looking forward to see these guys playing again in Spain.

If you like this great album, you must hear the last album called "Teleport". The four works from Kemopetrol are great cds. They have the gift to surprise you song to song.
