Further out

Kompass Records KOLP-16
1979
LP






Farout was a jazz-rock band from Lappeenranta, eastern Finland that won the national rock championships on a progressive line in 1978. After the success on championships, they got their debut album Further out released on Kompass Records in 1979. Unfortunately the success of the album was really poor with the sales only about 500 copies. From the beginning, the band played only instrumental music and so it is with the album too. The tracks are pretty strict jazz-rock fusion with a hint of progressive nuances. Best track on this album is the last song, funky fusion jam Brainwash (...Uhh!). Saxophonist Pekka Pöyry is also featuring on few tracks. Rare album nowadays.
