Tabula Rasa – Tabula Rasa – 1975 (FIN) progressive rock

This mid-70's Finnish prog release might be a nice record to check out for those listeners, who like URIAH HEEP, JETHRO TULL and don't mind lyrics sung in Finnish. The band was signed to Love Records, and thus got good changes at local prog markets. The texts are quite good passionate writings of Mikko Alatalo, who has had a succesful popular music career (not referring to my own tastes with this claim). The melancholic ballad "Gryf" is my favorite track of this record and of the band. It's guitar player Heikki Silvennoinen is a really talented musician, and he has worked as a professional musician and as actor after his commitment to this group.
