Album Notes & Community Reviews

Finnish avant-garde pioneer Pekka Airaksinen utilized Roland drum machines and synthesizers to craft the spiritual, meditative landscapes of 'Buddhas of Golden Light'. Moving away from his earlier chaotic rock experiments, the album presents complex, generative electronic improvisations deeply influenced by his Buddhist faith.
