For some, Jimi Tenor's name will always be synonymous with 'Take Me Baby', the accidental techno pop hit born out of a two minute gadget on his 1994 debut EP. While this is something of a misunderstanding, given the breadth and scope of Tenor's subsequent recordings, 'Take Me Baby' does exemplify the sense of humour which prevails in his entire body of work. Tenor's music mainly takes its inspirations from experimental rock and jazz - his first recording band Jimi Tenor & His Shamans was influenced by early 80s industrial, with instruments built out of scrap metal and plastic. During the 90s Tenor moved towards electronic music, but soon returned to his roots: 60s and 70s jazz, psychedelic soul and African funk, which he has recorded for renowned labels such as Warp and his musical home base, Sähko.
