My Potf-article is now published on the Metropoli-magazine. It's in Finnish, of course, but if anyone likes, we could try to translate it or at least a few parts of it (it's a loooong one).

The magazine itself can be found in most of the big cities in Finland for free, and I think there's also gonna be a pdf-version of it on their website soon :)

There's an article about the Poets in the Ruisrock magazine. And if I don't remember wrong there's something also in the latest issue of Rumba.

Nordische Musik has published a pretty positive german review on Carnival of Rust.
It's pretty short, but it got (almost) all points!

Here you can find the orginal review in german.
And here is the translation. Enjoy :)


Quote:
Carnival of Rust
(2006, Insomniac POTF-05)

Song quality: 5/6
Interpretation : 6/6
Sound 6/6

It simply rocks, this looked-for follower of the Poets’ debut. At first they back off with the title song, from which they added the enchanting video on the record. After halftime the Finns throttle the tempo: Mark’s voice raises over Ollie’s acoustic guitar, percussion elements purify the (almost) ballads.

An e-guitar starts playing abrupt and the born and bred rock song "Delicious" slides in the calm part of "Carnival of Rust". The complete POTF-microcosm from hard to soft is put into the sparkler "Maybe Tomorrow Is A Better Day" – which the band gave to their fans as a present already last Christmas. Listen to this one!

(Review by Natalie Martin, for Nordische Musik)

RFI Romania shows again their interest in PotF and they wrote a review on their website. There are some inadvertences in the article, but it's clear CoR made a good impression on them.


Album of the week:
Poets of the Fall - Carnival of Rust

We generally live with the feeling that everything coming from North should be cold. Frozen, better said. Heartless. Distant.
So much preconception...
Poets of the Fall are from Finland. An alternative rock trio.
I'd say they're more than that.
They met in 2002, a strange meeting between a jazz vocalist, a rock guitarist and an "industrial-machine-trance-man".
While listening, I noticed there was nothing accidental about this meeting. The fusion is almost perfect, the jazz singer becomes a rock vocalist,
the guitarist touches in a fine way, clearly and distinctly, jazzy-like while the guy from the keyboard calms down and enters the game.
"Carnival of rust" is an example of unity through diversity. From rock ballads as the song that gives the album title or "Desire"
(maybe the best pop-rock ballad we listened in the last 10 years),
to songs that have the purest hard rock feeling as "Fire" or "Sorry go 'round", others like "Locking up the sun"
(a combination of industrial and rock) to the sound
of the 70's on "Delicious" and to the song that has
the strongest pop feeling, "Roses".
A real "tour de force" for these three musicians.
Everything is clean, nothing overlapped, every instrument is distinguished even when things seem to go crazy.
All in just 48 minutes.
Nothing cold, everything warm, human, close to you...
The perfect album for a morning that's slightly downhearted because of some undecided clouds...

Isn't Ollie jazz guitarist, but not rock? Mark is rock vocalist, isn't he? Or I'm wrong again?

Viime kesänä haastattelin Markoa pienlehteen nimeltä Outo Lintu, jota teimme kaveriporukalla. Lehti ehti kuitenkin kaatua ennen haastiksen julkaisua, joten tässä se viimeinkin on. Ja kiitoksia Hexaliukselle kielioppitarkistuksesta *virn*
Translation will follow tomorrow =)



HELMINAUHOJA JA PORSAITA

Mikä voisi olla parempi tapa viettää kuumaa kesäpäivää kuin jutella Poets of the Fall yhtyeen laulajan Marko Saareston kanssa? Ei näin äkkiä tule mieleen. Törmäsin bändin jäseniin yhtäkkiä yllättäen ennen heidän Klubin keikkaansa heinäkuun ollessa kauneimmillaan, ja päätin kysyä, irtoaisiko bändin nokkamieheltä jotain sanottavaa yhdelle oudolle tytölle. Ja irtosihan sitä.

Pieniä asioita

Ensimmäisenä kyselin hieman ulkomusiikillisista asioista. Olen pitkän aikaa jo miettinyt, mistä bändin logo tulee. Siis se koiperhonen, johon on tökätty nuppineula.
Sen verran Marko suostui siitä kertomaan, että se liittyy jotenkin Irlantiin ja symboliikallisesti se sivuaa ilkikurisuutta ja ehkä hieman pahankurisuuttakin. Asia oli selvästi henkilökohtainen eikä Marko halunnut siitä kaikkea paljastaa, joten annetaan sen siis jäädä salaisuudeksi.

Bändin keikoilla on myytävänä jos jonkinlaista vaatekappaletta ja olen itse naureskellut kovasti PotF-stringeille. Kun ihmettelin ideoitten alkuperää, Marko kertoi että niitä mietitään porukalla. Joku heittää villin heiton ja sitten päätetään, onko se toteuttamiskelpoinen. Stringit ilmeisesti olivat yksi näistä villeistä heitoista...Ennen kuin siirryin kyselemään enemmän musiikkiin liittyviä asioita, piti vielä ihmetellä yksityisyyden ja julkisuuden rajaa. Bändin kotisivuilla ei ole juuri mitään henkilökohtaista tietoa jäsenistä, eikä juorulehdissä riepotella kenenkään yksityisasioilla. Silti keikkojen jälkeen pojat juttelevat faniensa kanssa, antavat nimmareita ja poseeraavat kuvissa. Miten vaikeaa sitten on pitää yksityiselämä erossa julkisuudesta? Markon mielestä ei ollenkaan, sillä heidän työtäänhän se on. On vain osattava tehdä valintoja.

Musiikki

Muutama kysymys täytyi tietysti tehdä musiikistakin, sillä siitähän tässä loppujen lopuksi on kysymys. Muu on vain plussaa. Tänä kesänä on ollut harvassa sellaisia festareita, joissa Poets of the Fall ei olisi esiintynyt. Tätä ennen oli takana jo pitkä klubikiertue. Kummatko sitten ovat mukavampia keikkoja heittää?
Molemmissa on puolensa, Marko vastasi. Klubikeikoilla saa läheisemmän kontaktin yleisöön ja oma tyyli näkyy paremmin, festareilla oman huumansa tuo iso ihmismassa. Kysyttäessä lempibiisiä levyltä, on vastaus Shallow. Se on ollut Markon kestosuosikki jo vuoden ja syynä siihen on kappaleen voimakkaat tunnelmat.

Hilipatihippaa

Lopultakin pääsin sitten tähän lehtemme linjauksen mukaiseen vaihtoehtoiseen puoleen. Marko opiskelee itse kiinalaista lääketiedettä, mutta entäpä muut vaihtoehdot, esimerkiksi aromaterapia, shiatsu tai energiahoidot?
Markolla itsellään ei ole mitään kokemuksia muista täydentävistä hoitomuodoista, mutta on varma että kaikilla on paikkansa. Itse hän löysi kiinalaisen lääketieteen kamppailulajien kautta.
Lavalla tämä monitaituri tasapainoilee, kiipeilee ylös ja alas ja muutenkin heiluu kuin heikkopäinen välillä =) Ruumiinhallinta näyttää olevan loistavaa, mistä se on peräisin?
Kamppailulajeista ja taijin harrastamisestahan se on kehittynyt. Ja viihdyttämässähän siellä lavalla ollaan, Marko toteaa.

Dyykkaus on Markolle suhteellisen outo käsite. Ensimmäisenä hänelle tulee mieleen, että voi surkeutta jos sitä on pakko tehdä. Kun kerroin sitten, että aika monet tekevät sitä aatteellisista syistä, sanoi hän sen olevan hyvä juttu. Mutta myönsi sitten, ettei hänestä itsestään siihen ainakaan vielä olisi.

Sitten tietysti täytyi kysyä, että kumpaako näkökulmaa koko bändi edustaa, sukupuolista dikotomiaa vai pluralismia? (dikotomia: kaksi ja vain kaksi sukupuolta, pluralismi: ottaa huomioon kaikki variaatiot).
Marko uskaltautui vastaamaan koko bändin puolesta, että kyllä tämä pluralismi kuulostaa paremmalta. Ylipäätään käsitteet voivat auttaa tietyllä lailla jäsentämään asioita, mutta ne eivät voi määritellä, mitä ihminen todella on.

Vielä viimeisenä osuutena kyselin assosiaatioita tiettyihin sanoihin. Ei selittelyjä eikä tulkintoja, vain käsitteitä tai sanoja jotka tulevat aivan ensimmäisenä mieleen:

Rock? Feminismi? Tampere? Rauha?
Kivi, keinu Helminauha Nokkoskylä Taivas

Porno? Nykymusiikki? Rakkaus? Politiikka?
Porsas Onomatopoetiikka Hieno Perkele

Uskonto?
(Illusion and Dream)
Harhaoppi

Viimeisen kysymyksen kohdalla Marko ei halunnut sanoa tuota suluissa olevaa, koska se on kappaleen nimi. Mutta reiluuden vuoksi sekin nyt on siinä.

Sitten poikien olikin jo lähdettävä valmistelemaan keikkaa, joka tapansa mukaan oli vallan mainio. Tampere kuittaa ja kiittää.

Me too. :D

I am so glad to read about the Poets in Romania. This means that more and more romanians get to konw them and develop a good taste in music. What do you know, maybe, someday, we'll be able to eradicate the "manele" phenomenon. I'm looking forward to that moment.

First of all, allow me to express my astonishment, once again, on hearing that a romanian radio station is promoting even two of their song. It's one step ahead which may finally lead to us finding their albums in our shops. So far, I haven't. And believe me, I've searched a few. I found about these guys from a friend of mine who plyed Max Payne and became addicted to the Poets. He send me a couple of their song because he was curious if I liked them. And I became addicted also :D . I know that we could order their albums through the internet but I don't think we can afford it (we live in Romania after all :cry: ). I know that it's not fair to the guys but I promise that when their albums will reach our stores, I'll be the first one to buy them. :)
