Advanced Art

Advanced Art from Tampere, Finland, are one of the pioneers of Finnish electronic music, originally active from 1985 to 1995. Musically the band evolved from the early synth pop demos to a more ebm or industrial direction. The creative core of Advanced Art consists of Jana (voice, lyrics) and Vince (machines, melodies). Other members were Pete aka Sam B, Otto A aka Auten, Jarkko Tuohimaa aka Factor, Reeta, and PW.

Advanced Art was formed in 1985 when old pals Jana and Pete met Vince through a mutual friend. First demos were made under the name Abstract and some live appearances as Authorized Version. Two split 7" singles with Two Witches were released as 'vinyl demos' on Darklands Records. Poko Rekords signed the band in 1991. This resulted in 12" Scar (1991), mcd Time (1992), cd Product (1993) and cd Force (1994). Early vinyl singles plus some demo tracks were re-released on cd by VUZ Records. Jana and Vince got back together in late 90s to record two new tracks for the debut compilation of Vince's new label, Control.
Former Advanced Art members have appeared in e.g. Neuroactive, [Active] Media Disease, Shade Factory and Recycle. Currently Jana is a member of Camp Electronique while Vince and PW are involved in Impakt.
