[ABCD05] Karri O.: Kids Used to Dream of Becoming Astronauts

This five-track EP from Karri O. is a sincere attempt to render digital sounds as organic as possible. With echoes of influences ranging from minimal German techno to Rhythm & Sound to Warp, the end result is a danceable experiment that is nostalgic without being melancholy, innocent without being naïve. Watch for more releases on various labels soon.

Kids Used to Dream of Becoming Astronauts comes with a deceivingly simple two-player computer game called Robotit for Windows machines. Use the money you earn to make your robot more and more powerful as the game progresses and then try to beat your friends. Original music for the game provided by Karri O.

The CD is now available through the Abflug website and soon through several distributors and record stores throughout Europe, Canada, and Australia. In Finland, the CD is already available at Voltti in Tampere and at Dis\'n\'dat, Myymälä2 and Lifesaver in Helsinki. Please visit www.abflugrec.com for more information and sound samples.
