DISCography

The early (OiDai, Seleniko) and the recent albums are significantly different from each other , although all of them has the characteristic Värttinä sound.
In general the recent albums are more modern and the early albums are more "folky". Modern do not means here technical tricks or drum-machines, just worked out compositions. You can notice the difference in the style of the CD covers too.
A good idea to start with the latest albums - and they are the easiest to find in the shops- , or if you are more into folky tunes lets try "Seleniko". After all if you listen any of their albums you will be curious for the others.

The complete discography is on the Official site. This was carefully collected by Kari Reiman , so probably this is the most complete list , incl. all albums, singles and compilations too (more than 100 items).

First I did not want to put on the text of the songs as they are on the CD-covers, but as I know the American releases are without the original text (at least the early albums). Moreover the compilations are without text too. So finally here are the lyrics too, hope not to disturb copy rights and hopefuly without typing errors. Meanwhile you can also find the lyrics on the official site at the albums
