Haikara – Haikara {Finland} [1972] @256 (prog rock)

Hola amigos! this time we are going to finland.what an excellent band haikara is! here is the copy/paste: Their first excellent album is a combination of prog, Finnish folk, classical music and some additions of military marches! This is no joke as Harri Pystynen was playing one year in Lahti Military Brass Band. This specific marching rhythm you can especially hear in opening Köyhän Pojan Kerjäys [The Begging of The Poor Boy]. The most characteristic for Haikara is distinctive brass section that magnificently interplays with guitar and organ. Distinctive is also Lehtinen’s vocal. In pompous Luoja Kutsuu [Creator Calls] he sings together with guitar and organ. Distinctive is also Lehtinen’s vocal. In pompous Luoja Kutsuu [Creator Calls] he sings together with Lattunen making lofty atmosphere. My favourite is Yksi Maa -Yksi Kansa [One Country - One Nation] with light, delicate beginning..read more here
Strongly advised..Keep Listenin ;)

  4. hello..personally i dont like cover arts..its like limitting an imagination..let the cover art be something in your mind..let we not picturize it :) in late 70's recording companies used coverarts as a selling strategy..you may read most of the good bands/artists suffering from the cover arts..the other thing is most of my uploads stands for vinyl recordings..and its really hard thing to find a vinyl backcover..the reissued/remastered cover arts generally not the same as original one..so if i put a remastered/reissued coverart to a vinyl record one..it will be fake..however i respect to people who also collects coverarts..try to drag and drop the folder (that you downloaded) to windows media player..now you see the cover there..if you want much..click images button in google and write the album name/artist name etc..most of the time you will see cover art waits you there..
    have a nice & easy day :)
