this release was on the NEGATIVLAND label, SEELAND RECORDS.
when I saw this show, in a house basement, I was totally blown away by both groups, MONO PAUSE & AAVVIKKO.
Mono Pause was entertaining and carried the anti-commercialism sentiment that you get with negativland stuff, but they were also pranksters and each song had some kind of ironic twist, but they were all dressed in Hawaiian shirts with a very talented and cute female singer.
AAVVIKKO are a Finnish trio- 2 keyboards and a drummer. They did some complicated dance numbers that sounded like they were played by a sequencer on a computer, and they put a LOT of sweat into the act. Amazing dance tunes. I should post some youtube stuff of theirs.
One of those nights were everything is new and unusual. The summer rain had that smell, fresh cleansing rain on the hot dirty sidewalk....
