Andy travelled with Volumen on a two week tour of Finland, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania and put this piece together with the resulting footage. He had to get a little jiggy with it on this one because we couldn't find more Super8 film once we were over there. Who woulda figured that?

How so? It's right there on the Baltic sea. How could it be more Baltic?

Yup, Finland is indeed a "Baltic Sea Country."

And while Finland isn't known by the political term "Baltic State" today, it once was. See for example the 1939 Soviet-Nazi Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact: "Article I. In the event of a territorial and political rearrangement in the areas belonging to the Baltic States (Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania)..."

This film is a real treat to see. Always interested in seeing Andy's film work, and it is a nice, artistic portrayal of Volumen -- a band hard on the ears, maybe; hard on rousing, not hardly; but stimulating as a hard on at times -- fo sho, foo! Great editing, by the way. Thank you for sharing this.
