TASAVALLAN PRESIDENTTI - Milky Way Moses(1974 Jazz Rock/Fusion • Finland)Full Album

Tasavallan Presidentti biography Founded in Helsinki, Finland in 1969 - Disbanded in 1974 - Between 1983-2007 regrouped briefly several times This group is one of the earliest prog group from all of Scandinavia (their first album was recorded in 69 but the group has roots from 68) although they were hardly classic prog, playing a very wide spectrum of music from jazzy stuff to blues via folk and rock. All four albums are very constant in the crazy Finnish way of playing progressive music, but you will have a hard time to find their second album - the only one not to be released on Love Record under which recorded TABULA RASA and FINNFOREST as well as WIGWAM a band that could they (TASAVALLAN PRESIDENTITI) be compared to. Their last album was more similar to COLOSSEUM. : : : Hugues Chantraine, BELGIUM : Tracks: 01. Milky Way Moses (Jukka Tolonen, Jim Pembroke) - 00:00 02.
