Description
SHADOKS LABEL. Elonkorjuu came from Pori, Finland and were founded in 1969. At first the sessions were done in a rather dark cellar; the musicians were young, talented and highly motivated. Already in the same year Elonkorjuu won the second place at a competition at Helsinki's House of Culture. Shortly after this the band's success grew very fast. They toured through all of Finland and were quickly well-known. One of the band's highlights was the gig at the rock festival in Turku, where they did a big act in front of thousands of youths who went wild about the fantastic band. At the end of the same year they decided to make an LP entitled Harvest Time. This album received progressive rock cult status. The Finnish quintet Elonkorjuu are one of the many little-known bands that did heavy blues/psych with strong prog elements, drawing initially from the schools of Cream, Sabbath and Colosseum, but expanding on those influences with soulful church organ and cutting guitar from leader Jukka Syrenius. A killer album from beginning to end. Heavy guitar work all over and great English vocals.'
'"Elonkorjuu" is the Finnish word for "harvest time", in case you wondered. This young group from Pori was among the most promising new groups of their era but sadly only left us with one album of excellent heavy rock influenced by Jethro Tull, Deep Purple and Led Zeppelin. Songs such as "Praise To Our Basement" indicates they were a garage band, but were far more subtle than that, often playing sentimental pieces with dynamic developments and good use of the Hammond organ and flute to counterbalance the guitars.' - Scented Gardens Of The Mind
