2) Swissair was a group of schoolboys from Helsinki that existed as a band from the spring of 1980 until late 1983, when all members (Anton Nikkilä, Mika Taanila, Juha Soivio, Pietari Koskinen, Jari Härkönen and Mikko Kuussaari) had just turned eighteen. The band’s initial concept was to play ”scientific music” – as a liberating move away from the young artists’ earlier enthusiasm about the booming Finnish punk rock. In practice the taped experiments consisted of gloriously amateurish and unintentionally idiosyncratic extrapolations based on early This Heat, Cabaret Voltaire, Metal Box-era PiL, The Residents, and others. Swissair almost never rehearsed and performed only a few times, preferring instead to record every session with cheap cassette and reel-to-reel machines. A part of the results were released on four cassette albums by their own Valtavat Ihmesilmälasit Records ("Enormous Miracle Glasses") label in microscopic hand-made print runs.
