Petri Kuljuntausta, Sonata Arctica ja Bob Moog

Bought Petri Kuljuntausta's book On/Off. Massive paper back about the history of Finish electronic music. It's mostly about the beginning and formative years of original Finish "electronika" - about what classically trained composers did during the 1950ies and 1960ies. And there is a CD included, which contains compositions of, for example, Erkki Salmenhaara, Usko Merilainen, Erkki Kurenniemi and Pehr Henrik Nordgren.

I bought also Sonata Arctica's CD Winterheart's Guild. Though the music is released in 2003 it sounds very much like the heroic heavy metal from the 1980ies.

And I just read that Bob Moog died last sunday. That's quite sad.
