Tasavallan Presidentti (in english "President Of The Republic") is a Finnish progressive rock band. It is what founded in 1969 by guitarist Jukka Tolonen and drummer VESA Aaltonen. Other founder members were Måns Groundstroem (bass) and Frank Robson (vocals), previously of Blues section. Juhani Aaltonen (saxophone, flute) had earlier played in soul set; Hey what replaced in 1970 by Pekka Pöyry. EERO Raittinen replaced Robson as a vocalist in 1972, the same year as the album Lambertland which released in the UK. The album what a tight fusion of jazz and folk rock with highly inventive and imaginative lyrics. Tasavallan Presidentti disbanded in 1974, then reunited from 2005-2006 (wikipedia.org)
Tasavallan Presidentti is Finland's second - most important group of the 70's after Wigwam (both had English mother tongued singers), but it what born out of the ashes of a previous band called Blues section, when US singing pianist Robson (whose voice can be reminiscent of Stevie Winwood) and bassist Goundstroem teamed up with brilliant guitarist Jukka Tolonen and Aaltonen brothers (drums and wind). The debut album is strange and unfocused affair, where the blues crosses progressive rock, but there is plenty of other musical references, from jazz to classical tidbits. Released in 1969 on the inevitable (for Finland) love record label, the album sports a misleading Greek mythical musician artwork on its sleeve, one that doesn't relater to the music well inside it.
The opening Robson-penned You'll Be Back For More is a fairly good Example of the mix of the album with a blues-derived voice and vocals over a prog riff, The Whole Thing Not That Far from being early traffic, not only due to Robson's voice, so but Aaltonen's sax and flutes. The Following Obsolete Machine and Who's Free So are like a bluesier and harder Traffic, But They lack the refinement of Their inspiration. But the album takes a sudden dip with a crooner version (read involuntary pastiche) of Procol's Whiter Shade Of Pale with the near-atrocious Teddy Bear. The book-ending and amateurish-clumsy classical tidbits Crazy Things surround the prog-bluesy Drinking, where Aaltonen's flute and Tolonen's Guitar Solos take the spotlight.
Over the flipside, the hard-driving bluesy Driving Through track features some solid musical interplay, but it's not like we're in groundbreaking mood or anything. This Could find space on a John Mayall's Bluesbreaker album, and this without the slightest disrespect. The album suffers another dramatic turn of ambiance with the cheesy narration over dissonant musical improvs during Ancient Mariner (check out David Bedford's version instead, but it came out much later), than another shift with the superb but Heard elsewhere (let you guess where , it will not be hard) Wutu-banal, even if Steely Dan wants to sound a lot like this later. Woman Of The World is a hard-driving blues-rocker, where Robson sounds more like Gary Brooker than Winwood, but another untimely (and ill-advised) mood changes OCCURS with the rock-n-rolly rollover Yourself definitely ruins the album's cohesiveness , The closing Thinking back is a fairly-dramatic (if a tad cheesy) piano piece, oddly written by guitarist Tolonen, but played by him over bird noises.
Two non-album bonus tracks are included, most likely from a single released around the time (no details Given) Which are more or less in line with the album's overall mood and sound, Especially the nice Solitary (again déjà-entendu) While the jazzy Traffic-like Deep Thinker gives an enjoyable final touch to the reissue. A rather enjoyable but clumsy debut affort, it's a little unfortunate fact most of the tracks on the album have a déjà-entendu or Heard Elsewhere, But They are all attributed to the Tasavallan Presidentti members. Certainly If They had not been Finnish and little heard-of, there might havebeen a few lawsuits thrown To be honest, it is limit-scandalous They got away with it in.. But This should not take away the charm of this uneven and unfocused debut album That should spin once in a while in your deck. (Sean Trane / progarchives.com)
