Michael Majalahti - Wrestling New Classic Later, Numminen's records were published under the umbrella of the legendary Finnish label Love Records. Numminen founded in 1966 with Pekka Gronow the record label Eteenpäin! ("Forward!"), which released Numminen's own music. Numminen also composed music to the writings of the philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein. Here he succeeded well, for example by his interpretations of Franz Schubert's lieder, sung with his own idiosyncratically creaking voice, or managing to create a scandal at the Jyväskylän kesä festival of Jyväskylä in 1966 with his song lyrics taken from a sex guide. In his early days Numminen often tried to provoke people. He was also a member of the band Suomen Talvisota 1939-1940.
In the 1960s Numminen was known particularly as an avantgarde, underground artist, stirring controversy with such songs as Nuoren aviomiehen on syytä muistaa ("What a young husband should remember" the lyrics of the song were taken directly from a guide to newly married couples, and included advice on foreplay) and Naiseni kanssa eduskuntatalon puistossa ("With my woman at the parliament house's park").
