Two documents of Avarus in live action, at two legendary festivals.First we witness the group at Avanto in Helsinki 2007, close to the peak
of their caveman "rock" era, road-tested on several extensive tours in
Europe and USA. After a lengthy vocal/electronics intro, the band chases
the ghost of early Ash Ra Tempel down the hillside and inevitably off
the cliff, in a Wile E. Coyote style. Ideas, both good and bad, are
thrown around with almost reckless abandon.B-side takes us to Höstfest in Jyväskylä 2014. The set took place on the
cozy and chilly outdoor stage on a crisp autumn evening. This time the
sound represents the later, more mellow and electronic phase of beer
trance. There is no sense of hurry, just a group of friends enjoying the
sound. The lineup is slightly extended, with Antti Tolvi and Jussi
Karsikas on keyboards.The whole thing is crowned by the eye-popping artwork by the one and only Tommi Musturi.ART-49
