L'amourha
''L'amourha'' is the third album of Sielun Veljet. It was their breakthrough album, gaining much of its success from the hit single "Peltirumpu". It is the only Sielun Veljet album to come close to the sales figures of Ismo Alanko's previous group, Hassisen Kone, and remains one of Alanko's most popular works. The album was named the fourth greatest Finnish rock album by ''Soundi'' magazine in 2005. "Peltirumpu" has been covered by Maija Vilkkumaa (on the 2000 re-release of ''Pitkä ihana leikki'') and SubUrban Tribe (on ''Säkenöivää voimaa - tribuutti Sielun Veljille'', 2002). The name of the album is a portmanteau of the French word "l'amour" (love) and the Finnish word "murha" (murder). The band began later using the name L'amourder as their alias in English language projects.

Sielun Veljet
Sielun Veljet () was a Finnish rock band of the 1980s. They were formed soon after the disbanding of Hassisen Kone by its former frontman Ismo Alanko. Sielun Veljet never achieved the fame or the record sales figures of Hassisen Kone, but they became famous for their powerful stage presence and aggressive, shamanistic post-punk musical style. Most of the band's recorded material is sung in Finnish, except for their 1989 album '' Softwood Music Under Slow Pillars''. They have also recorded English-language versions of their songs under the moniker L'amourder. In 2011, they released a new song, "Nukkuva hirviö" (Sleeping beast). History Early history Sielun Veljet was formed shortly after Hassisen Kone, a successful and well-known new wave band, disbanded. Singer-guitarist Alanko and guitarist Jukka Orma wanted to start making a totally different kind of music than what Hassisen Kone had done and what the Finnish public expected of them.Tero Valkonen oPomus – Populaarimu ...

Kuka Teki Huorin
''Kuka teki huorin'' is the fourth album of Finnish rock band Sielun Veljet. It is written in a style similar to their breakthrough album '' L'amourha'', and the band was criticized by ''Soundi'' magazine for repeating itself. The album maintains the fiercely energetic and repetitive style of Sielun Veljet with some funk influences, while at the same time being considered one of their more accessible recordings. ''Kuka teki huorin'' was certified gold in 1995, being one of two Sielun Veljet studio albums to achieve a gold record.

Hei Soturit
''Hei soturit'' (Finnish for "Hey Warriors") is the second studio album by the Finnish rock group Sielun Veljet. The CD release of the album is titled ''Hei soturit/Lapset'', as it also includes the 1983 EP ''Lapset'' (Finnish for "The Children"). "Elintaso" was covered by Finnish rock group Aknestik on the 2002 various artists tribute album ''Säkenöivää voimaa - tribuutti Sielun Veljille''. Ismo Alanko said in an interview that he prefers cover versions that try to find a new perspective to the original, and that the Aknestik version was even confusing because they had transformed the furious song into a ballad. Popeda covered "Aina Nälkä" on the same album. Track listing All tracks by Sielun Veljet, except where noted. on Suomen Äänitearkisto database - Retrieved April 7, 2008 # "Rytmi" (Alanko, ...

The bass guitar, electric bass or simply bass (), is the lowest-pitched member of the string family. It is a plucked string instrument similar in appearance and construction to an electric or an acoustic guitar, but with a longer neck and scale length, and typically four to six strings or courses. Since the mid-1950s, the bass guitar has largely replaced the double bass in popular music. The four-string bass is usually tuned the same as the double bass, which corresponds to pitches one octave lower than the four lowest-pitched strings of a guitar (typically E, A, D, and G). It is played primarily with the fingers or thumb, or with a pick. To be heard at normal performance volumes, electric basses require external amplification. Terminology According to the ''New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians'', an "Electric bass guitar sa Guitar, usually with four heavy strings tuned E1'–A1'–D2–G2."

Guitar
The guitar is a fretted musical instrument that typically has six strings. It is usually held flat against the player's body and played by strumming or plucking the strings with the dominant hand, while simultaneously pressing selected strings against frets with the fingers of the opposite hand. A plectrum or individual finger picks may also be used to strike the strings. The sound of the guitar is projected either acoustically, by means of a resonant chamber on the instrument, or amplified by an electronic pickup and an amplifier. The guitar is classified as a chordophone – meaning the sound is produced by a vibrating string stretched between two fixed points. Historically, a guitar was constructed from wood with its strings made of catgut. Steel guitar strings were introduced near the end of the nineteenth century in the United States; nylon strings came in the 1940s. The guitar's ancestors include the gittern, the vihuela, the four- course Renaissance guitar, and the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Wand'rin' Star
"Wand'rin' Star" is a song that was originally written by Alan J. Lerner (lyrics) and Frederick Loewe (music) for the stage musical '' Paint Your Wagon'' in 1951. Lee Marvin recording "Wand'rin' Star" was a number one single in the UK for three weeks and in Ireland for two weeks for Lee Marvin in March 1970. The song also peaked at number 10 in Australia. Background When the film of the musical was made in 1969, Lee Marvin took the role of prospector Ben Rumson. Not a natural singer, Marvin nevertheless sang all of his songs in the film, rejecting the idea of miming to another singer's voice. Despite the film being a box office flop, the soundtrack became a success. Orchestrated and arranged by Nelson Riddle, Marvin's version of the song "Wand'rin Star" became a number 1 single in Ireland and the UK, keeping The Beatles at number 2 in the UK with their single " Let It Be". Marvin never released a follow-up single, so he is considered a one-hit wonder. Cover versions *A s ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
