Kebu<\/a> is from Finland, and To Jupiter and Back<\/i> is his debut record. All of the songs on the record were made with vintage analog synthesizers and recorded using only sequencers, tape machines and analog mixers. <\/p>\n

The results, while mechanical – it is all made on synthesizers<\/i> – and somewhat bleepy-bloopy, nonetheless transcends or possibly expands the possibilities of what I had previously come to expect from non-industrial instrumental synthesizer music. <\/p>\n

Kebu lists Vangelis as an influence – and I can hear the echoes – but his style is fresh and distinctive: conscious of form, but also shimmery, light, and playful. <\/p>\n

This is the video for Samba Saturn<\/i>, the first single:
