Ernesto Aeroflot – Strogloy – Everything Within {mtk160}

Artist: Ernesto Aeroflot
Title: Strogloy – Everything Within
Label: Monotonik
Catalog #: mtk160
Release Date: 2006/02/04

We’re delighted to welcome a return for Finnish artist Teemu Kiiskilä, aka Ernesto Aeroflot, whose ‘Oll Tolk’n’ no Ding Atcheev’d’ album we released back in 2002, and who is a veteran of other netlabel releases on Commie and Kikapu under multiple aliases. This time round, he’s back with an entire album of wonderfully diverse electronics, ‘Strogloy – Everything Within’, which we’re very pleased to be putting out on Monotonik.

One of the keys to Ernesto Aeroflot’s charms, at least in our eyes, is that his music is distinctly off-kilter – it’s certainly not smooth Warp-like idm or mathematical Detroit techno, but rather carefully mis-shapen and gorgeous all the same. The lead-off track, ‘Odour Is Poison’, comes with a mighty drum rush and scifi movie clinking, before ‘Nick Drake’ segues into spooky, uneasy grooves and the rest of the strange album unfolds. Some of the other highlights include the squelching groove of ‘Shaky Hands’, the actually terrifying catgut yelps of ‘Scream While You’re At It’, and the dark, inspired clanks of the final track, ‘Home – The Solution’.

Thanks again to Ernesto for sharing this album with us, and if you like it, you can go to his own website, give him feedback, and email him to get a full high-quality CD copy of the album, with an exclusive bonus track, ‘Da Mansion fo’ Man’. So there.

Ernesto Aeroflot – Oll Tolk’n’ no Ding atcheev’d {mtk111}

Artist: Ernesto Aeroflot
Title: Oll Tolk’n’ no Ding atcheev’d
Label: Monotonik
Catalog #: mtk111
Release Date: 2003/06/05

Thanks to a tip from a Finn in the know, us here at Monotonik stumbled across the material of Finnish maverick Ernesto Aeroflot online, and we’re delighted to be able to release his 4th album, “Oll Tolk’n’ no Ding atcheev’d”, on Monotonik.

Mr. Aeroflot is a mysterious fellow who’s released on net.label Commie and a host of smaller labels under names/groups such as TranceYlvania, Sky Wide Jazz, Oodi & Elegia, High Grade Multi Purpose Intelligent Terminal (!), and more. This 10-track album showcases his unpredictable but riveting style excellently, as ’80s bleep sounds and stuttering electro mix up with distorted unrest, sweeping electronica, and a wholly surprising bonus cut to create something truly different.

Highlights? Well, tracks like “We Wish You A Merry Ca” evokes Yellow Magic Orchestra, all smooth and retro, whereas “Be Real, Rysto Byls IV” is almost a widescreen movie soundtrack, and “Lost Data” is the most delicious of pseudo chip-tunes. Plus, the final superextrabonus track, “Afterburner”, well.. Finnish.. surf guitar.. epic.. need we say more?

[There’s also a release text from Ernesto himself for this release, giving some more info into the Teemustan language that the album was created in – all the current song titles are translations from this (invented? crazed!) language which is used for the name of the album.]
