Matti "Rag" Paananen was born in 1939 in
Hirvensalo, a small island in the coastal city of
Turku. He's a talented and diverse composer with
seven symphonies, poem compositions, film and TV
music and several smaller pieces in his oeuvre.
His film work has been very scarce, which is a
shame, since his music is considered to be rather
visual. Paananen got into the Guinness Book of
World Records with the longest single piece of
music ever, "366 Days", which would last for 40
days if performed.
Paananen is also a poet and a painter, he's done
anti-drug work (drugs killed his daughter in 1987)
and travelled around in Lapland, Africa, the
Amazons and the Caribbean among other places.
Vesa-Matti "Vesku" Loiri is a multi-talent: actor,
comedian, singer, flutist and sportsman. He was
born in 1945, he debuted as actor in the movie
"Pojat" (The Boys) in 1962, a debut which is still
well remembered and much praised. Since then he's
acted in over 60 films, many of them for producer
Pertti "Spede" Pasanen, who created the comic film
character Uuno Turhapuro (Numbskull Emptybrook).
Loiri performed this slouchy character in 20
extremely popular films. As singer he's released
more than 30 albums.
These two men joined forces in 1974, and created
an album which could be labelled psychedelic
children's music. "Pirate Captain Ynjevi
Lavankopoksahdus" tells a ten-part story of a boy
who runs away from home, steals a boat, and,
calling himself a pirate captain, heads out to the
sea seeking for adventures. He gets more than he
bargained for when he angers a witch who curses
him with seven terrible ordeals. Little Ynjevi
manages to make his way back home, perhaps a
little wiser than before. (Paananen was a
sea-farer himself before even turning 20, so
Ynjevi might be his alter ego.)
Paananen (the guy on the right) wrote the music
and played keyboards, Loiri (on the left) sang and
displayed yet another talent by drawing the back
cover and the wacky board game included with the
record. I've scanned the board game in a large
format and split it into four pieces which can be
printed out at full size. Re-assemble the pieces
and you can play the board game yourselves.
Overall, "Ynjevi Lavankopoksahdus" is certainly a
memorable listening experience even for adults.
There are lots of electronic sound effects used to
illustrate various events in this story. The only
letdown might be the heavy doses of infantile
humor the kids (unfortunately) love so much. I can
imagine many Finns listened to this album when
they were kids, and still remember it well without
being able to find it anywhere. It hasn't been
released on CD, so it's time to rediscover it -
and those who haven't heard this whacked-out fairy
tale, do so immediately! There's much you've
missed!
