Rovio
The Last Musica Cape
Originally released in 1987 on N-Space, this piece of music has been re-edited and remastered onto CD for the first time. It was originally only available as a cassette with Rovio’s 17th birthday party, and was re-released as a 7" in 2014, its original cassette code still visible on the cover. The music is a jumbled array of sounds, a mix of field recordings, phone conversations, music playing in the background, a few aural samples, and a bit of live instrumentation. The Leftfield label has also done a remix of the original, and it’s a beast, with the original’s bass, drums, percussion, sound effects and vocals coming from a range of different sources. It’s a true world record, and pretty amazing.
