"I was introduced to Kemopetrol by a friend. I actually just sat there, silently, and listened "slowed down" from start to finnish. I couldn't believe that as a Finn, I had never heard of this band before. It's one of my favorite chill-out/rock/funk albums because it's really like no other band ive heard. Each song is different in its own way and yet each song is equally as good. Overall, its just a cd you wont get sick of and you can listen to over and over again (trust me, I have). Of the two albums Kemopetrol has released, i would definetely recomment this one. I think their "sound" is more evident in Slowed Down, although the other album is still worth buying."

Stunningly powerful debut

"This awesome record was finnish band Kemopetrol's debut LP and
it is absolutely brilliant.Fortunately I live in Finland and saw them play a free(!) gig in my home town 2 days ago. Their singer Laura is something else, a gorgeous young woman and an amazing singer too! Anyway, with this cd they quickly became one of Finland's greatest bands. It's filled with great, dynamic music from the beautiful piano & Laura duet "View of the sea" to raw, distorted guitars of "Drown little girl". Now they have released a second album called "Everything's fine", which immediatly took number 1 place of the finnish official album chart. It should be available outside Finland later and when it is, get it - it's great too!"
