Clearspot, 1999.

As a side project to their ‘official’ albums, in 1999 22-Pistepirkko wrote and recorded the soundtrack to ‘Downhill City’, a Finnish feature film by Hannu Salonen, telling the story of contrasting characters in today’s Berlin and star, actor Franca Potente (Lola Runs) and Teemu Aromaa. The band relished the opportunity to tread new territory, combining a specially-written score with reworked tracks from previous albums (including a flamenco mix of ‘Let The Romeo Weep’ featuring Hanoi Rocks guitarist Andy McCoy and a smashing remix of Tokyo Tiger by Russian tech-head Aleksei Borisov).
