The latest news from Finland's Fonal Records:

The awesome new Islaja "Palaa aurinkoon" cd is now out. There are two Kemialliset Ystävät cds coming in May. A re-release of the widely acclaimed "Kellari Juniversumi" cd and a re-release of the amazing "Lumottu Karkkipurkki" album first time on cd. First it was released as a cassette and then as a double 8" lathe cut, both were limited editions and sold out immediately. Now it's fully remastered and the sound quality is what it's supposed to be. And to add to that the debut album of Paavoharju from Savonlinna, eastern Finland. This will also come out in May and more info will emerge as the time approaches.

Fonal Records will be repressing the Kemialliset Ystävät album "Kellari Juniversumi" this coming April with a special new 20-page booklet. But don't fear if you already bought it already, the booklet will also be available for purchase separately if you're a completist. Also look out for something new from Paavoharju from Fonal in April as well.
