Rezensionen

"Now is your chance to learn more about Finnish popular music. Made in Finland: Studies in Popular Music is a welcome addition to the meagre literature in English language on Finnish popular music. If you are interested in the "progressive" varieties of Finnish popular music and do not read Finnish, this is the book for you."

-Pekka Gronow, Finnish Music Quarterly

"The series Studies in Popular Music has been quite successful in presenting popular music research in a globalising world. These windows on various national contexts have considerably widened our understanding of what can be researched in this multidisciplinary field, and how. This edited volume contributes nicely to the series by presenting a country, Finland, which is 'So sadly neglected and often ignored/A poor second to Belgium when going abroad' (Monty Python 'Finland'). In 14 chapters divided into five parts, plus a fascinating coda, the book presents a variety of musical practices in and about this Nordic country, from well-known heavy metal to hockey novelty songs, from odd 1930s electronic experiment to 1990s minimal techno."

-Giacomo Bottà, Popular Music
