Oulu Space Jam Collective Releasing Harvest Sage 2LP on Aug. 10
Last heard from, Oulu Space Jam Collective — not to be confused with Øresund Space Collective, who as it happens are also plenty jammy — released the triple-vinyl Drug Rings of Saturn in December through Adansonia Records. That significant offering is still available from the label, and the Finland-based collective are following it up with a live 2LP called Harvest Sage that was recorded at an outdoor show in 2017. Going by the description below, it seems to have been like an art fair, or a kind of town festival, and given what I know of this group — never seen them live, but it’s not hard to imagine how their style might translate, being jams and all — a park as part of a spirited creative group endeavor seems like it would be precisely their element. Sounds like it would’ve been a cool show, in other words. I know I’m desperate at this point — is Finland doing gigs yet? — but it seems as though this might’ve been a special night for them. All the more worth documenting after the fact.

Oulu Space Jam Collective – Harvest Sage – DLP 2020 – AR 037
In 2017, the Finnish Oulu Space Jam collective took part in the annual Oulu Art Nights and presented a two-hour outdoor concert at the Lyötynpuisto park in Oulu. At this event, musicians, actors, dancers, writers and artists take over public spaces and parks and offer unique experiences for everyone. The double album “Harvest Sage” was created on the basis of these recordings.
It contains four long improvised space jams, each spanning a full side length and takes in space rock, krautrock, oriental and snippets of spoken word which all come together to make something special – Oriental Oulu Kraut. Another high quality space rock jewel – mastered by Eroc at his ranch.
