Gigaherz is Nemesis' first album on Origo Sound. Featuring music that was composed betwen 1996 and 2003 and updated for this new album, the 15 tracks make up an epic audio journey that presents mankind's evolution from sea creatures to extinction.
Says Ami Hassinen, founding member, about the theme of Gigaherz; "The nature is a very important issue to all of us. And the recent developments concerning the changes in climate makes one think quite a bit. Actually, I have no worries about the fate of the planet, as everything finds its balance in due course, but will there be any human beings left to witness it? I don´t know. For the mankind, I am sure that the next 100 years will be an increasingly challenging time. Musically, this inspired us to tell a story about the Earth in audio format."
Nemesis is the Finnish trio Ami Hassinen (synths, guitar, bass, sound effects), Jyrki Kastman (synths, keyboards, effects) and Joni Virtanen (keyboards, synths). Ami and Jyrki started making music together in the mid-80s, after having been exposed to science fiction, astronomy and the music of certain artists. In 1994 they secured their first record deal; Xcelsior became the first electronic / ambient record from Finland to be released internationally. As a band, Nemesis is inspired by nature, science, astronomy, childhood stories about UFOs and ghosts, science fiction movies, visual art, and of course other musicians and bands, such as Kraftwerk, Can, Tangerine Dream, Neu, Jean Michel Jarre, Jimi Hendrix, Beatles, Hawkwind, Brian Eno, Robert Rich, Steve Roach and others.
On Gigaherz, Ami Hassinen played: Yamha CS-15, Akai 2800 sampler, Korg O1W/fd, Roland MC 202 synth / sequencer, Roland TR 808 and TR 707 drum machines, Yamaha SG guitar, Yamaha SG 126 bass guitar, various analogue and digital effect units, tape effects, voice.

Review extracts:
Loren / Planet Origo: "Some bits of it remind me what TD would sound like if they had kept their 70s style but upgraded their equipment [...] Other sections are much more contemporary ambient, and others yet have an almost techno beat to them which is not too surprising coming out of the 90s [...] All in all this is an enjoyable romp across time and space." Rated 8 of 10.
Dave Law / SMD: "It is amazing that even though these tracks were recorded over an eight-year period they still manage to hold together as a wonderfully balanced self contained album. Nemesis don't do mediocre. This is a stonking album that should be in every Nemesis fan's collection."
