Bjorn Lynne: (uk)
"This new album features a lot of extremely catchy and memorable melodies, all presented in a very authentic 8-bit retro computer game sound. You just gotta love it! At first you think it's just funny and a weird kind of novelty. Then, as the music keeps playing, it sucks you into the happy grooves and just go have to go along with the shameless feelgood retro trip."

DESERT PLANET
Joystick Pop (Odor)
Hardly anybody in the world takes the oldschool games music and all that comes with it as serious as Jukka Tarkiainen, also known as Desert Planet. In some remote areas on this planet they have some special customs, but this, about 20 year old but still hip retrosounds from Lapland are a category on its own. With some people the childish annoying tunes will have them want to emigrate to the moon but with others the simple and purposely corny re-use of long lost fun-tunes will create proudness or a desire to the clear and selfconscious times.
