I love Haikara as well.
Bands at the top of the list for me besides Haikara would be Kingston Wall, Hoyry-Kone, Wigwam and Silent Voices. I'm probably forgetting some but that's an impressive top five in my opinion.

Definitely Circle.  There's nothing those crazy Finns won't put to tape.

Otherwise Callisto are pretty awesome.  I've only sampled Hoyry-Kone in the past but I've enjoyed what I've heard.

Ooh, I think Scorch Trio are from Finland as well.  They're pretty excellent.

I think Orne are pretty good, very melancholy yet stoic.

I'm currently on a Finnish kick and will be reviewing some albums from the country. Some I like more than others though - that last one I did by Temples is one of those meh records, and frankly I'd rather listen to a Neurosis album...

But hey - if you want some inspiring new fusion that will blow your socks off, then have a listen to Astro Can Caravan:


Modern Sun Ra.
Highly recommended. One of my current favesThumbs Up

I'd suggest MOONWAGON first of all .. as they are more unknown but prolific nevertheless

I never post anything anywhere without doing more than basic research, often in depth.
