Ruskea Timantti

This double cd collects the early recorded works of the mysterious Finnish free folk collective AVARUS. Previously released as limited run CDRs and 7-inches (in tiny runs of 50-200 copies), these tracks are a tantalizing glimpse into the mist shrouded musical world of Finnish underground music, equal parts the hypno rock of fellow countrymen Circle, the pagan ritualism of The Wicker Man, the droning throb of Faust, the propulsive rhythm of Can, and the lo-fi clatter and skree of the Dead C. Over two hours of epic and endless, rumbling and stumbling, space-y psychedelic folk magic.
