Aikakone—meaning time machine in Finnish—is a pop ensemble from Finland that was active between 1995 and 1998, briefly reunited in 2001 and 2003 under the name Aika, before returning to the original name Aikakone with sporadic engagements thereafter.
Their first album, Tähtikaaren taa, earned triple platinum certification in Finland. This success was followed by Toiseen maailmaan, which attained double platinum status, then Maa reaching platinum, and Hear Me Now achieving gold certification.
In 1995, Aikakone received the Emma Award for Newcomer of the Year and was also recognized as the best band of that year by Radiomafia listeners.
