The Complete Ikuisuus Discography — Every Release on CDR, Cassette & Vinyl

This is a working record of the Ikuisuus discography: the releases the Tampere label issued and mail-ordered across roughly a decade of activity. The Ikuisuus discography documented here is catalogued under the label’s two running prefixes — IKU for the house imprint and OM for its OMSHA sub-line — and gathers what can be reliably attributed to the label rather than every title it may ever have touched.

Releases across the Ikuisuus discography

The titles collected here are CDR editions, the label’s native format: cheap to make, quick to assemble by hand, and suited to the tiny pressruns that defined the Finnish free-folk and drone underground. Several are multi-disc sets — a two- or three-CDR release was not unusual. Each entry below records the format exactly as it was issued, along with the catalogue reference and, where it can be established, the year.

CDR and cassette editions

CDR and cassette were the heart of Ikuisuus and its scene. Across its wider activity the label worked in both: cheap, hand-assembled formats suited to music made to exist rather than to sell in volume. Many CDR titles were numbered by hand, and cassette editions elsewhere in the scene could run to only double figures. The releases catalogued below are CDR, but they sit squarely inside that broader CDR-and-cassette culture — the one Ikuisuus shared with the labels it traded with.

Vinyl and CD pressings

Where a record earned a wider run, labels in this circle reached for vinyl, and a few CD editions round out the wider picture. Vinyl and pressed CD tended to mark the titles with the longest reach beyond Tampere, some of them co-released or reissued by kindred labels abroad. The catalogue proper stays close to its CDR core; the vinyl and CD story belongs mostly to the artists’ work beyond Ikuisuus itself.

How to read the catalogue

Each row gives the catalogue reference, the artist, the title, the format and the year where it is known. References beginning OM belong to the OMSHA sub-line tied to Uton; the IKU prefix marks the house imprint. Years appear only where they could be confirmed — a blank year means the date could not be established with confidence, not that a release is undated in principle — and edition sizes are shown on individual release pages when they are known.
