Tasavallan Presidentti - Lambertland (1972)

The third album from this band from Finland.

The band was a quintet on this album with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars, saxophones, flutes and vocals.

The band returned again with a new album and a new vocalist. Frank Robson was gone and he was replaced by Eero Raittinen. His vocals is nowhere as good as Frank's vocals although they are OK. 

The music here is a mix of the Canterbury scene and folk rock. 

That is.... the jazzy and fusion part of the Canterbury scene. There is a lot of fusion here and this is mainly a fusion album with spicy pieces of the Canterbury scene.

Just to confuse the listener a bit.... there are also some more folk rock influences here.

The music on this forty minutes long album is very good throughout and this album is clearly their best album and their claim to fame and international recognition.  

Check out this album.

3.5 points
