UNSPEAKABLE TIDINGS

(note: Aarni mostly uses the Discordian calendar.)

40/ 05/ 3173	Aarni thinks we have finally finished mixing Tohcoth and so the album has been sent to Tuomas McElä (of Jääportit fame) for mastering. Also A.Tolonen (the famous weresquirrel gnawing the kantele in Nest) currently busies himself applying crowning touches to the album booklet and covers. The long overdue release will most likely happen in January 2008 ev, unless the two gentlemen mentioned above somehow become unduly motivated and complete their work earlier. Having stressed ourselves out needlessly over the last three years it has taken to make Tohcoth, we naturally cannot take a healthy break even now...so Aarni has just rereremastered the combined Demo 2001 & 2002 cdr. Now it has more clarity, presence, bottom end and blah blah. You can also hear all the bonny bad mixwork, groovy glitches, amazing audio artifacts and climatic clipping much better. The third time saith sooth, so we swear we won't touch those timeless tracks ever again. Let the dead bury the dead...if you already have a version of the Double Demo, you probably have no need of this final remaster. But if you don't have it, get yours for 6 € (including postage and shit). Cheap at twice the price. In other neurotic news, making of the next album has already begun. More "eccentric", HC, counterculture and UG again(?) perhaps. I will also be contributing my gleeful guest vocals to a New Worlder music project in the very near future, as well as partaking in the ongoing recordings of the scatomadness that sensitives call Umbra Nihil. Yea...if some of you should feel interested, we still have a number of the Skepticism Tribute 2CD copies left. Pay us 10 € for yours (including shipping planetwide) so we can go get some candy and shit. There's also an Aarni discussion forum in the planning, where retards can share their problems and mediumistic messages & instructions from dead uncles.
21/ 05/ 3173	Currently Aarni mixes 'Tohcoth' to hopefully get it released before Yule. Also, in a highly uncharacteristic move, we managed to complete our Thergothon cover song for Solitude Productions' tribute album from zero to the final mix in just over a week. The end result can perhaps be described as some sort of folky dark ambient tune with, err, theatrical vocals. The Skepticism tribute double album has been released! We completed our contribution song almost exactly two years ago and mildly put the Aarni sound may have evolved somewhat since then. But if you empty your mind of the usual mental chatter and visualise bright white light, you may almost be able to listen to the entire song. Almost. If you really feel interested, you can buy a copy from us...cheap at 10 euros (including postage worldwide). We only have just under 10 copies in stock, so you'd better email us sooner than later. After the release of 'Tohcoth', we will begin work on an as-of-yet classified project as well as planning the next Aarni release. Meanwhile MW will probably be contributing sundry guitar leads and shit for the forthcoming Umbra Nihil album.
02/ 04/ 3173	The title of the forthcoming album can be announced: 'Tohcoth'. The work has reached the point where we can state with a comparably high degree of probability that it will feature at least 11 tracks with a total duration of around 74 minutes. The skeleton (and some of the meat) of each track has been laid down, so Aarni moves to the next stage of completing the songs with further instruments, vocals and layers. After that the pain/pleasure of mixing and mastering will be upon us, hopefully followed by the actual album release. Oh, how the tears will flow then... Also two new interviews and 5 banners featuring artwork from 'Tohcoth' added. FAQ and Works pages updated.
20/ 02/ 3173	As recently stated in Liber XXXV Aarni, recordings of the as-of-yet unnamed second full length album continue, with somewhere over 50 minutes of material completed thus far. The CD cover artwork has been finished, but will be put online later as the release date (Summer Of Love 3173?) draws nigh. Aarni also contributes a track to the forthcoming Thergothon tribute album (release by Solitude Productions) out probably in early 3174.
19/ 01/ 3173	The webshite has been splendidly streamlined and the code made sexier by the talented former role model and eccentric impoverished trillionaire Maxim Mig. Thanks very many for your dedication to the cause! Also the actual textual content of some pages have been updated...crawl around this site for yourself and maybe find out. Surprisingly much work has also been recently done on the second album, how nice! More details on it and other subjects in the next Liber Aarni issue, out soon.
11/ 01/ 3173	Have an interesting 3173 AM everyone! The year kicks off with Aarni making slow process with the second album...and with the death(?) of distinguished primate Robert Anton Wilson - without whom Aarni probably wouldn't exist in the shape it does today. Ta very much, Frater Mordecai fnord! Also, no more Finnish news items...their inclusion seemed increasingly redundant and English fast becomes the only tolerated language in the Brave New World Order, after all.
