Harakka Bialoipokku is great and there is a
compilation (Inviation? that covers his mid to late
70's period that is well worth searching for. Visitation
is also very good! ]]> Mon, 20 Jun 2005 13:59:48 +0000 http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7767&PID=570357#570357 Pekka Pohjola : Originally posted by SyzygyHe's... http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7767&PID=570319#570319 Author: Nipsey88

Yup the album you are refering to was released in Finland as KeesojenLehto, which I mentioned above, and is a great  recommendationthere Syzygy.Clap ]]> Mon, 20 Jun 2005 13:19:06 +0000 http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7767&PID=570319#570319 Pekka Pohjola : He's done some amazing stuff,... http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7767&PID=570183#570183 Author: Syzygy

Agree with Hugo, get the two he mentioned they are both awesome fusionalbums with a definite Zappa feel. Also recommend Keesojen Lehto,Visitation, and Pihkasilmä Kaarnakorva as well. If you like those, lookinto his more recent stuff, its good too, although a bit slick soundingat times. Dunno if you've heard his Wigwam stuff, but all the albumshe's on are good, with Fairyport being my favorite. Also, kind ofobscure, but he also recorded an album in 1978 I think, under themoniker The Group. If you can find it, it is also a great fusion album.]]> Mon, 20 Jun 2005 03:44:58 +0000 http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7767&PID=569904#569904 Pekka Pohjola : I, like many other people, have... http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7767&PID=569898#569898 Author: Paco Fox

I, like many other people, have only the album he made with Mike & Sally Oldfield as guests, which have a lot of international titles... The original finnish was something like (sorry for the mistakes) 'Keesojen Letho'.

Although I don't usually like too much jazz in my prog, this one is very good. I've always wanted to listen to the album I've read he made with an orchestra, but, alas, these are not the easiest records to find.

I have Harakka Bialoipokku (aka B The Magpie) and Kätkävaaran Lohikäärme . both are very good especially the former. Great zappaesque horn arrangments over fusiony grooves. Gotta get more into his music myself but the albums are so hard to find here! Anyways, B The Magpie would make a great start.]]> Mon, 20 Jun 2005 01:49:40 +0000 http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7767&PID=569842#569842 Pekka Pohjola : This guy is pretty fantastic,... http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7767&PID=569840#569840 Author: WillieThePimp

This guy is pretty fantastic, can anyone recommend stuff fromhim?  I've come to find he was a part of a 70's group named Wigwamand would like to know which albums are "best". And since Finnish issuch a different language and I cannot pronounce most of his work, i'llsave myself and others some valueable time by getting these cd's online.]]> Mon, 20 Jun 2005 01:43:33 +0000 http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7767&PID=569840#569840
