What the label says:

"ALITAJU YLIMINA" IS THE FIRST VINYL ALBUM BY FINLAND'S UTON RELEASED IN A STRICTLY LIMITED EDITION OF 500 COPIES IN A MARVELLOUS FOLD-OUT SLEEVE WITH A FULL-COLOUR DRAWING BY UTON HIMSELF ON THE OUTER SLEEVE AND SOME FIERCE BLACK&WHITE ILLUSTRATIONS BY DUTCH ARTIST CHRISTELLE GUALDI INSIDE.

UTON IS THE ONE-MAN PROJECT OF JANI HIRVONEN ORIGINALLY HAILING FROM TAMPERE AND CURRENTLY TRAVELLING AND RECORDING IN INDIA. HIRVONEN IS ONE OF THE MOST ACTIVE MUSICIANS OF THE FINNISH UNDERGROUND SCENE THAT HAS RECENTLY PRESENTED US THE LIKES OF KUUPUU, KEMIALLISET YSTÄVÄT, ISLAJA, PAAVOHARJU AND LAU NAU AND A SEEMINGLY NEVER-ENDING STREAM OF BEAUTIFUL AND HIGHLY ORIGINAL RECORD RELEASES.

THE MUSIC OF UTON IS NO EXCEPTION THERE, DRAWING INSPIRATIONS FROM PSYCHEDELIA TO FREE JAZZ TO PURE ECSTATIC DRONES AND NOISES USING A WIDE RANGE OF ACOUSTIC INSTRUMENTS FROM VARIOUS PARTS OF THE GLOBE AND A BULK OF ELECTRONICS. RECORDED IN GLORIOUS LO-FI THE MYSTERY OF HIRVONEN’S SOUND IS DIFFICULT TO PINPOINT; SHEER RAVISHING BEAUTY, ELEGANCY AND VARIEGATION IS STASHED BEHIND A WALL OF GREY, INSCRUTABLE HAZE – GORGEOUS MELODIES AND VOICES, REEDS AND ALIEN SOUNDS GLEAMING THROUGH THE MIST FROM TIME TO TIME, SHIMMERING LIKE DIAMONDS THROUGH LAYERS OF DUST.

UTON HAS PREVIOUSLY RELEASED DOZENS OF CD’S, CD-R'S AND CASSETTES ON A MYRIAD OF LABELS INCLUDING JEWELLED ANTLER, PSEUDO ARCANA, LAST VISIBLE DOG, DIGITALIS AND HIS OWN IKUISUUS. HE HAS COLLABORATED WITH AMON DUDE (AVARUS), ANLA COURTIS (REYNOLS), ANTONY MILTON (BLACK BONED ANGEL), BEN REYNOLDS, PETER WRIGHT, PHIL TODD (ASHTRAY NAVIGATIONS) AND JAN ANDERZEN (TOMUTONTTU, KEMIALLISET YSTÄVÄT) AMONG OTHERS. THE LATTER COLLABORATION (UNDER THE HEVOSET MONIKER) WILL BE RELEASED ON LP BY DEKORDER LATER THIS YEAR.

About the humble LP:

The LP is the daddy of formats. 12" inches of sheer joy. The LP adds to the glory of the 12" record as it can be played at a slower speed (33rpm instead of the usual 45rpm for singles), consequently more musical joy can be had. Played on a decent deck the sound of an LP is about a million times better than any other format. They look fantastic...... a nice gatefold sleeve with a information rich inner sleeve will keep you entertained for hours even before your stylus has chance to make eye contact with it's 12" prey. An essential part of musical heritage which will never be forgotten. It still does play at a multitude of speeds but as it's recorded to be played slower they normally sound ridiculous sped up. Though double albums can make up for this slight inadequacy by ramming more tunes into your ears for your money. Utterly essential.
