Tabula Rasa - Ekkedien Tanssi (1976)

The second and final album from this band from Finland.

The band was a seven piece big band with a lineup of timpani, percussion, drums, bass, guitars, piano, organ, harspiscord, electric piano, synths and vocals.

This album is the follow up to the self-titled album released the year before. An album I really like a lot and I reviewed last week.

The band still offered up mellow symphonic prog with some folk rock and art-rock influences.

References this time around is Camel, Supertramp and a bit of Steve Hackett. 

The vocals are in their mother-tongue and that adds a lot of character to the music too.

The guitars and the guitars solos are very good on this album and the best thing about this album. A song like Omantunnon Rukous is a very good song.

Not everything works here. Some of the songs are too pedestrian. 

Nevertheless, this is a good album from an underrated band.
