Harmono Group: Members Posts: 759 Joined: May 2005 Posted: May 16 2008, 19:49 The track titles are originally in Finnish and much is lost in translation. The official tranlations make too much sense, they're not obscure enough. I think these are funny, so here goes. 1. Sighted Light = Sussed Travel Lantern (This one is very hard to translate and makes no sense, but then again, it shouldn't.) 2. Hands Calming the Water = Hands Straighten the Water 3. Mathematical Air Display = Mathematician's Air Display 4. The Consequences of Indecisions = The Consequenses of Head Bending Part One: Time Heals All Wounds = Pain Left to Melt Part two: Comfort With a Stranger = Twitching Conversation With a Stranger (What's so comfortable about that?) 5. False Start = False Start of the Shadows SIC The album's name is Keesojen Lehto, which in English would be Keesos' Grove. In case you're wondering, Keesos are those creatures on the cover, hanging out in their grove. The cover. Back to top

It has a large grain silo or else oil filter with birds flying around it.

Harmono Group: Members Posts: 759 Joined: May 2005 Posted: May 17 2008, 09:02 I'm pretty sure those two haven't been released again. Rare gems I believe. The one with the bird and the silo. The one with the grey triangle(how artistic!  ) Back to top

Ugo Group: Members Posts: 5495 Joined: April 2000 Posted: May 17 2008, 18:09 @ Harmono: so Skuggornas Tjuvstart is "False start of the shadows" ? That's how the album was originally called... check this out. All other titles (The Mathematicians' Air Display, Keesojen Lehto, etc.) are subsequent. @ Scatterplot: is your copy (the one you encoded) a picture disc or not? -------------- Ugo C. - a devoted Amarokian Back to top

Scatterplot Group: Members Posts: 1981 Joined: Dec. 2007 Posted: May 17 2008, 18:33 I looked on Ebay. They only have the triangle one. It was about 20 dollars. -------------- We raise our voices in the night Crying to heaven And will our voices be heard Or will they break Like the wind Back to top

Ugo Group: Members Posts: 5495 Joined: April 2000 Posted: May 17 2008, 19:11 @ Scatterplot: ah, OK. Whatever it was, you did an amazing de-clicking and "remastering" job. Thanks a lot. Three vinyls of the album (original Finnish, Japanese and German) are currently on sale @ eil.com - just type "Pekka Pohjola" in the Search box for All Products and click Go. However, they look a bit pricey... at least to me. -------------- Ugo C. - a devoted Amarokian Back to top

Although some Swedish musicians were involved in the project, you must be wrong. BTW. Did you guys watch hockey tonight. Finland beat Sweden 4 -0! There's a final tomorrrow night Canada - Russia. I'm wasted... Back to top

Scatterplot Group: Members Posts: 1981 Joined: Dec. 2007 Posted: May 18 2008, 01:57 I purchased Acoustica "spin it again" software for the Hergest Ridge Porky cut. Amazing software. By the time I got to "Indecisions", I found ways to make the de-click and noise reduction better with no loss in quality by tweeking the default presets to suit my tastes. I actually used it on a 1962 Barbra Streisand LP, quite horrible sounding, and it came out great! I highly endorse this product.

Ugo Group: Members Posts: 5495 Joined: April 2000 Posted: May 18 2008, 18:13 @ Harmono: I got that info (about Skuggornas Tjuvstart being Finnish) from eil.com. It says "Rare and original 1977 Finnish-only Love Records label vinyl LP". Check it out for yourself... -------------- Ugo C. - a devoted Amarokian Back to top
