Thanks! Fascinating stuff. I'm not sure what I expected but it wasn't this.
Good one. I got this on eBay a couple years ago. Very unique music, and very Finnish (reminds me a bit of the Pekka Airaksinen/Sperm stuff).
awesome! many thanks!

so much wonderful Vesala on this blog - you truly are spoiling us!
WOW. This record is utterly astonishing. Out of all of the Vesala that I've heard so far - much of it from this blog! - this album is definitely the most far-out, most removed from anything remotely recognizable as jazz (yes, much more so than even stuff like Nan Madol).
If anything, it's more like a Finnish take on krautrock, and easily stands alongside some of the best dark-ambient examples of that genre. Large amounts of this record even remind me more of Nurse With Wound than anything else, most notably the briefest track, "Aallokko", which could sit comfortably along the other creepy drifts on Automating Volume 1.
I know I should leave a comment for everything I download - especially on a blog like this which is rapidly becoming an all-time favourite - but I'll hold my hands up and admit that I'll try my best to comment more. This record, though, instantly deserved a comment, as soon as I listened to it. Will be listening to this one a LOT more, too.
thanks

Claro este disco ya lo habia posteado Mutant-Sounds pero no en esta calidad, lo cual se agradece infinitamente y pienso lo mismo una reunion sui generis para estos finlandeses que no se andaban por las ramas para experimentar en el terreno del jazz-avant o algo parecido pero muy arriesgado!
Muchas gracias Nick estupendo!
Y ojala alguien pueda ayudar con los scans!
Thank you!
Regarding all the comments on this album I'm curious of the music could someone re-up it please?
re post, please...
THX!...
is it possible to re-up this lp? Everything with Edward Vesala is welcome, thanks in advance.
I can do a reup tomorrow.
An incredible album, strange and beautiful, a sort of soundtrack to a book by Lovecraft. Thanks Ernst for the post.
Thank you Nick and Ernst!
Removed the link - will be available as LP again on Svart Records - out in June '18.
