(ProgRock) Jim Pembroke - Corporal Cauliflower's Mental Function (1977) (Wigwam) Finland - 1977

This is Jim Pembroke's third solo album or it really a Wigwam album when all the musicians from Wigwam
is participation on this album, yeah Mеns is only producing and Paavo Maijanen is playing the bass instead,
they have even a guest guitar player in Coste Apetrea on this album, Coste had played with Samla Mammas Manna in the past, and was playing with Ramlцsa Kvдllar and Jukka Tolonen when this sessions were made,
if you like the Wigwam after Jukka Gustavson and Pekka Pohjola had left, you gonna love this album too.

"On that I consciously tried to mix all the words around. When I realised there was a Finnish language, which was like an impossible language reminding me of blocks of wood, it was dunk, dunk, dunk like this. I can speak ok now, but that Corporal Cauliflower's had a certain picture of how I could try and make English look like blocks of wood or something. I don't know if I'm explaining myself right. I was trying to make English sound and look like what Finnish sounded and looked to me. In a way mix up all the words and use like opposite words of what I really sort of originally wrote down. I wrote down a lot of stuff and sort of transposed it all in order to make it sound like something you've never heard before, cause I'd never heard anything like Finnish before so I thought I try and make English sound like nothing you'd ever heard before. It was heavy in a way to do, I only did about two or three songs I think. The rest of the LP I did sort of like pretty straight songs, yeah language wise that is."

(To Hans Beck at Otto Donner's flat, Helsinki 28.07.1981.)

Back in Finland, Virgin, which wanted a Wigwam album refused to release Pembroke's solo+Wigwam Corporal Cauliflower's Mental Function in the UK. The music press advertised the new Wigwam single, "Wardance", but neither it nor the excellent Dark Album were released in the UK, Virgin rejecting the album at the demo stage. "Wardance had an almost funky guitar riff and a massive bass line and, had it been released, could have broken the band in the UK big time. Instead it was the final nail in the Wigwam coffin. Love was facing bankruptcy and, unable to support their artists further, Wigwam were forced to find proper jobs or starve. They broke up in the Summer of 1978.
