The next release in our „Suomi-Series“ is the extremly rare LP from Paroni
Paakkunainen named ‚Plastic Maailma’ (Plastic World).
Already a musical legend in the 60s, Paroni Paakkunainen gathered a group of guest
musicians together in 1971 (e.g. Harri Saksala from Kalevala) and recorded this
excellent progressive album, using a various amount of styles and influences, ranging
from Folk-derivated music to Jethro Tull-affected rock. And there is a striking Sitarpiece,
too!
But Paroni Paakkunainen’s Jazz-roots are always shining through the song-structures
and the musicianship of all participants is beyond any doubt.
This is the first official Vinyl-Reissue in brilliant sound-quality, including an insert and the
original cover reproduction.
