Elonkorjuu - Harvest Time
A band from Finland with great guitars, especially the song "Unfeeling", got my attention first time I listened to it. The song "Captain" includes a solo influenced by the Russian folk song "Polyushka Polye" strange coming from a Finnish band, is it not? Song "Where's the Rising Sun" has a break, so relaxing and trippy, I just love it. Nevertheless, an album worth sharing.

Band information:
In 1978 the band released their second album Flying High, Running Fast under the name Harvest, which is an English translation of Elonkorjuu. The album was released by RCA Records and Elonkorjuu's goal was an international breakthrough, but the band finally split instead. The guitarist Jukka Syrenius moved to Norway and released several albums with his new group Jukka Syrenius Band, also featuring some international musicians like the American drummerClifford Jarvis, the South African bassist Johnny Dyani and the Norwegian keyboardist Haakon Graf.
Elonkorjuu was formed again in 2003 and the following year the band released their third studio album. In December 2009 Elonkorjuu played a 40th anniversary concert in Pori Theatre. It was later released as a double live album. In 2012 EMI released a 4-CD boxed set including almost every track the band has ever recorded. The box also includes rare live material from the 1970s. Today the guitarist Jukka Syrenius and bass player Veli-Pekka Pessi are the only original members of the band. The present line-up features the Hungarian-born drummer Zoltán Kárpáti, keyboardist Jussi Reunamäki and the saxophonist Jari Perkiömäki who holds a Doctor of Music degree in jazz music from the Sibelius Academy.
