LP - Indies Exclusive Limited and hand-numbered 30th Anniversary Edition Clear Vinyl. Only 500 copies available in this edition (250 for UK/Ireland).
With Sähkömies, Jimi Tenor released his legendary solo debut in 1994 on Puu, a spin-off of the Finnish label Sähkö Recordings founded by Tommi Grönlund and Mika Vainio in 1993. Recorded in Tenor's former home in New York, the album offers a previously unheard mixture of drum machine driven, electronic sounds and Sun Ra-inspired jazz. Written, recorded and produced entirely by Tenor in his apartment, the pieces have lost none of their spontaneous, roughcast charm to this day.
The record combines lo-fi electronics with Jimi Tenor's typical smoky saxophone playing, offering a fascinating listening experience that documents an artist who is full of curiosity and the joy of experimentation.
For the 30th anniversary of Sähkömies, Bureau B is thrilled to make this special album available again on LP and CD.
