Jimi Tenor Organism Warp 2/99 [WARP60] Hey, look out. Finland’s Jimi Tenor has returned with more of his antics for “Organism”, his second album on the wacky Warp imprint. Tenor is still putting his organ through the paces, but this time it sounds like he’s got Kraftwerk and Parliament as backing bands, and he’s not afraid to put his foot down and house things up for the dancefloor either. The first single, “Year Of The Apocalypse”, is a real raveup. Complete with a big backing choir (a 60 member Finnish modern choral group, apparently) and out with a hip moving Maurice Fulton remix in March, it’s followed by “Total Devastation” in April. (And “Dancing In Hell” in May; nope, just kidding). If you haven’t heard Tenor before, these song titles are a good example of his modus operandi; when the world is about to end, Tenor will be there in your local lounge swinging and singing about it. Lyrics with surface wit and subversiveness with a smirk paired with finger snappin’ grooves—it’s all good. Welcome back, Jimi. --Andrew Duke More Tenor: Check out the "Organism" album's first single in RealAudio here. Back to album reviews index
