Kalevala - People No Names (1972)

   Hello to all the people of the prog universe!
I'm writing here regarding a progressive gem - a wonderful shining pearl of an album - that seems a bit overlooked: People No Names, released 1972, crafted by the band Kalevala, hailing from Finland. The band made two more records after People No Names (which is their first record), but I don't consider them to be even near the excellence that is presented on this one (even though they have some good tunes - and they all sound unlike each other). So...is anyone acquainted with this record and/or band? Check it out, it's available on Spotify:

	I'm glad you appreciate this Finnish classic so much. I have the vinyl re-release of Svart Records. Also I'd like to encourage you to write a REVIEW on the album, surely there aren't too many yet.

	I have it too, soon - bought (ordered) it yesterday. I wanted the yellow vinyl (limited to 300 pcs), but it's sold out, so I grabbed the black vinyl. You're right; maybe I should write a review of it! I guess I found this record back in the day because I actually am finnish - brought up in Sweden though. Svart Records is a great record label by the way. Lots of great reissues as well as releases of good contempary music in many varied areas.
