The first time I heard any music by "Ozone Player" was on a compilation CD.
I realized then and there, that I was listening to a true synthesizer
master, and I wanted to hear more. I have since gotten hold of "Insane
Logic", which was one of my favorite albums in the year 2000, and more
recently the album "E", which is on my top-10 list for the year 2002.
Otso Pakarinen is not only one of my favorite musicians, he is also the
greatest living synthesist that I know of. His music always takes you into
a different universe...his universe. And there you'll find a strange kind
of beauty, that can sometimes be overpowering, and at other times,
seductive and alluring.
Ozone Player's latest release "E" contains two of the best musical pieces
I've heard in the year 2002. They're titled "Broken Code" and "Saurus," and
they continue to charm me to this very day.
Otso is in the same ranks as Tangerine Dream, Walter Carlos, Vangelis, and
Larry Fast. If you've never heard Otso's music before, but have loved the
works of other synthesizer masters, then do yourself a BIG favor and get
Ozone Player. Otso is today's Grand Master of the synthesizer!
