Furnace is an unlikely yet strangely natural union of no Xivic, renowned sculptor of dark electro-acoustic soundscapes, and Gelsomina, Finland's most prolific harsh noise artist. The title track, also the main piece on the album, is a live collaboration recorded in late 2006, a grand opus of psychedelic noise with a peculiar 'kraut' flavour! In addition to this, both artists created exclusive tracks on their own to complete the album. In total, Furnace is a 44-minute blast of fire, brimstone and hazardous electric currents, and thus a fine completion of Some Place Else's tenth year of activity. No Xivic aka Henkka Kyllönen procudes dark ambient and electro-acoustic music since 1996, and he released his second album on the Finnish Onyxia Records recently. Gelsomina is a very active Finnish harsh noise unit led by Pekka PT. Gelsomina has released dozens of albums on various noise labels worldwide.
