IvanP Joined: Feb 27, 2006 Posts: 10321 southern Michigan	Posted on Nov 29 2015 10:59 AM One of the best modern Rautalanka/Shadows style bands ever - soooo good! Listen to that lead guitar tone! And on a '70s Strat, no less. Matti Luhtala is simply a master of that style of playing, right up there with Colin Pryce-Jones of the Rapiers (UK). Enjoy! — Ivan Lords of Atlantis on Facebook The Madeira Official Website The Madeira on Facebook The Blair-Pongracic Band on Facebook The Space Cossacks on Facebook The Madeira Channel on YouTube Top

(Siboney and Country Sinister both come from their most excellent '90s album "Going Doing" - pretty much my favorite Shadows-style album of the '90s! — Ivan Lords of Atlantis on Facebook The Madeira Official Website The Madeira on Facebook The Blair-Pongracic Band on Facebook The Space Cossacks on Facebook The Madeira Channel on YouTube Top
Mark2Bra Joined: Sep 01, 2013 Posts: 248	Posted on Nov 29 2015 12:07 PM I'm a big fan of Rautalanka and The Mustangs in particular! We had a discussion about Matti's unique guitar sound here Siberia is my favorite song. The sound of the guitar is nothing I heard before! Cheers, Mark. Last edited: Nov 29, 2015 12:10:14 Top
Squid Joined: Aug 22, 2010 Posts: 1013 Portland, Oregon with Insanitizers	Posted on Nov 29 2015 12:07 PM I love the music of the Mustangs too. Several albums of theirs can be heard through Spotify, and the sound is excellent. Their most recent recordings through Spotify seem to be ten years old. For live performances I aim for a similar tone, with stacked delays of different times as the core effect. At a recent performance I was thrilled when an audience member who came from Europe said "you sound just like The Shadows." You can hear my stacked delays in the Insanitizers' "Irish Washerwoman" recording in the 2015 SG101 MP3 compilation. Under the band name Mustangs Spotify also includes albums from an American vocal band that is entirely different. The same problem applies to the Spotify listings of several other Rautalanka bands, including the Regents and the Steelers. — Insanitizers! http://www.insanitizers.com Last edited: Nov 29, 2015 16:42:40 Top
Surfingkentucky Joined: Apr 09, 2012 Posts: 81 The Hills of Kentucky	Posted on Nov 29 2015 12:28 PM Rautalanka music is a personal favorite and The Mustangs are one of the best. Another that impresses is Eldanka, a more modern group that has been mentioned here before. My limited knowledge of them is from videos. Not been able to find any CDs or records. Speaking of, I found a various artists double album from Castle Records in the late 80s titled Rautalankamuistoja-Kitarayhtyelevytyksia Vuosilta 1961-63. The album has 36 very good instrumental songs. Does anyone know if it was issued on CD? Eldanka: Surf F.B.R. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oljeIOu6rys Top
FritzCat Joined: Sep 11, 2007 Posts: 668 Sonoma, CA	Posted on Nov 29 2015 05:17 PM A little off topic (no Mustangs), but if you search "nastola rautalanka " on youtube you'll find tons of videos from an annual rautalanka festival in Finland. Example Last edited: Nov 29, 2015 17:22:00 Top
Badger Joined: Nov 16, 2013 Posts: 4536 Wisconsin	Posted on Nov 29 2015 05:38 PM Just ordered their collection CD from Double Crown; their rendition of Two Guitars is spooky good. The rendition you posted Ivan was a "close eyes/channel Hank" moment.

And in case he's gazing in from across the pond, thanks Ron for all the insights into The Mustangs, including the various echo units. — Wes SoCal ex-pat with a snow shovel DISCLAIMER: The above is opinion/suggestion only & should not be used for mission planning/navigation, tweaking of instruments, beverage selection, or wardrobe choices.

Surfingkentucky Joined: Apr 09, 2012 Posts: 81 The Hills of Kentucky	Posted on Dec 19 2015 08:04 AM Thanks from me also for the link. Been trying to put together an order since your post but not succeeded yet. They are slow to respond. It may be due to the size of the order and availability. They do have several selections that include The Mustangs. Top

IvanP Joined: Feb 27, 2006 Posts: 10321 southern Michigan	Posted on Dec 19 2015 09:58 PM Today I got the Mustangs' DVD "Live at the Sunhouse" (the package also includes the "Live In Amsterdam" CD). Checking it out right now - and it's a true pleasure! It plays just fine on a US TV system. The picture is so-so, mostly a single camera focused on the lead guitarist Matti Luhtala (not at ALL a bad thing!), but the sound quality is phenomenal! And the band is on fire, sounding truly excellent. Highly recommended! I got the DVD about 10-14 days after ordering, too, a quick turnaround time. — Ivan Lords of Atlantis on Facebook The Madeira Official Website The Madeira on Facebook The Blair-Pongracic Band on Facebook The Space Cossacks on Facebook The Madeira Channel on YouTube Top

Surfingkentucky Joined: Apr 09, 2012 Posts: 81 The Hills of Kentucky	Posted on Jan 08 2016 07:09 PM Thanks IvanP for the tip on the Mustangs' DVD. That plus a bunch of other items are on the way from SamSam Music. Thanks FritzCat for the link to the Nastola Rautalanka Festival in Finland. I have watched nearly all of the videos and highly recommend them to anyone interested in Rautalanka. Definately a festival I would like to attend. Actually considered a trip to this and the Surfer Joe Festival since they are only a week apart. The planning seems so complicated. The Atlantics did both in 2013, so I see it can be done. The Atlantics' show is one of the videos btw. Top

Kind of aloof & just lets his bat or guitar do the talking. And real humans dancing sometimes.
