70s band from Finland, they sound a bit similar to Trettioariga Kriget (they also have very loud bass and maybe similar expressive style of singing, but here it's Finnish) + there's more folk influences and saxophone from time to time. There's also strong psychedelic heritage in this album, but I think that despite the dated sound it's quite progressive in terms of composition. Saxophones arrangements bring to mind Audience from UK a bit. The best are: - varied "Persialaisella Tortilla" with some classical folk melody on hammonds, - starting with Van Deer Graafy piano at the beginning and good guitar and hammonds later "Tahdon Olla Kanssasi" - dynamic "Sunny Blue" with saxophone - title track "Unikuva" with even sinister groove feel after 1:30 and towards the end, with more saxophones. https://rateyourmusic.com/artist/session_f2" rel="nofollow - https://rateyourmusic.com/artist/session_f2 https://www.discogs.com/artist/653511-Session-3" rel="nofollow - https://www.discogs.com/artist/653511-Session-3 Unikuva 1974 https://rateyourmusic.com/release/album/session_f2/unikuva/" rel="nofollow - https://rateyourmusic.com/release/album/session_f2/unikuva/ https://www.discogs.com/Session-Unikuva/release/5661588" rel="nofollow - https://www.discogs.com/Session-Unikuva/release/5661588 full album in reversed order (they originally started album with most proggy tracks, but here starts with most poppy ones) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zVcuyio8dCY&list=PLF-92rCh83Epldbh8blnd_U12Sq9nJR2D&index=1" rel="nofollow - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zVcuyio8dCY&list=PLF-92rCh83Epldbh8blnd_U12Sq9nJR2D&index=1 1.

I updated bio: SESSION was unknown Finnish prog band from Kouvola. Members were Timo HEIKKILA on guitar, bassist Hannu KAIKKO, Juha TYKKALA on drums and vocals, keyboardist Osmo SEPPALA and saxophonists Ari PUKKILA and Mane HYYTIA. During activity they released one album Unikuva in 1974. Their music was varied prog with archaic sound, influences from psychedelic rock and folk. They can be compared to HAIKARA and TRETIOARRIGA KRIGET due to prominent bass and saxophone arrangements. Unikuva can be warmly recommended to completionists of Finnish prog rock and enthusiasts of mentioned bands. |
