What albums did you listen to today?...continued

Thanks Martti I really appreciate it. Always looking to expand on my ever growing Scandinavian music collection. I've got some old school Finnish experimental artists in my collection (Sperm, Esa Kotilainen and a few more) as well as a fair few new ones. Newer favourites include Circle - Pharaoh Overlord (If the Navajo decided to cut a psych album during an inspired peyote trance), Siinai - Olympic Games, Tenhi - Maaet, several of Allah's Mailman albums (damned if I can remember their real name but your written language is bewildering to say the least) and of course the wondrous sounds of Astro Can Caravan. There are more but I forget. I blame christmas gravy for my shortcomings.

Oh and I agree. He should've stuck with his native tongue. Trust me we used to have plenty of those heavily accented bands here in Denmark as well. Folks with but a rudimentary understanding of the English lingo trying to pull it off whilst retaining København and all of its vocal charm. This is also why I used to have a big problem with Eloy. Put on album and I was laughing my arse off from the get-to. Nowadays though I simply zoom him out of the mix and listen to the bass.

Van Halen - Balance

Sperm and Circle are really great! I am big Pekka Airaksinen-fan, collected all his 70ties works (there was released a box about them) also lots of his later stuff. Also have quite many Circle albums, they have put out really many albums quite different styles (really heavy to acoustic and even ambient) but always they sound themselves. These others I am not familiar into. Old Finnish prog I really love also Royals "Out"-album. There are few covers in it (for example Beatles Tomorrow Never Knows) but their own material is really great. It is more guitar based than the other seventies Finnish prog, Albert Järvinen was the greatest guitar hero in Finland!

^^ I only heard Innervisions once a while ago, but it came up in a conversation and I thought I should give it another listen. I did watch that concert too though and I'm seeing it again. Amazing performance!
