[peel] Re: Anyone remember Finnish Elevator Music? can anyone spell it?

Hi there,

the actual name of the 'group' is Swinghufvuds, a pun on the name of the 
3rd president of Finland, P.E. Svinhufvud. The band was (is?) basically 
a one-man show of Tommi Lindell, an electronics guru of sorts. You might 
get hold of the cd (excellent all the way through!) via some Finnish 
online stores or auction sites. Keep on googling.
