Belaboris- …Olipa Kerran 12”
I’ve had this one kicking around for a while, but never paid too much attention to it aside from “Monsterbaari.” Total oversight on my part here, for this entire 12” is solid. What we have here is eight tracks of ALL-female minimal synth, hailing from Finland. This mini-LP, released in 1984, collects the band’s singles to date, including the Kuolleet Peilit 12” (1982) and the Odotus 7” (1983).
Astute readers might notice that the band’s name derives from two of horror’s biggest names, Boris Karloff and Bela Lugosi. Vocalist Minna Soisalo was also well known for her roll in Klaani, a large film in the band’s homeland. Belaboris would release one final 7” before splitting, a cover of 60’s Scandinavian hit ‘Rakkauden Jälkeen,’ which can you nab from the excellent bx-59cppw blog. This should complete their discography!

I'm digging it.
Track 6 – Mitä Lapsille Tapahtui – cuts off suddenly around 2:52. Is it supposed to be like that?

Ryan- if you listen closely, the track comes to an abrupt, but natural end. A little decay at the end just before the track cuts!

Excellent read, I just passed this onto a colleague who was doing a little research on that. And he actually bought me lunch because I found it for him smile So let me rephrase that: Thanks for lunch!

Is it just me, or does "Yö Vanhassa Talossa" seem to be an awful lot like Talking Drums, "Courage"? No?
