Legit, from the master-tapes, 24 bit digital remaster reissue of this Finnish rarity from 1970. This was drummer Edward Vesala's first band, and he is joined by Harri Saksala-vocals, harmonica, Erero Lupari-guitars, Heimo Holopainen-bass. Since I also hear lots of keyboards/mellotrons, flutes, strings and orchestrations and more, I will assume that the 3 names under the four musicians' names above are guests (that means that Jukka Gustavsson of Wigwam is the keyboardist!). This very early album - one of the very first of Finnish progressive, along with Elonkorjuu - is a curious blending of progressive songcraft of the late 60's (Procol Harum, Traffic), bluesy underground rock, and other touches. The vocalist is kind of a bellower, but I still really enjoyed this. [Warner Finland]
