Sanullim is a Korean word which means "a rumbling of a mountain". Actually, the band began their musical career as a hobby. Their music started to bloom as Chang-wan Kim, who became the leader of the band later, brought a guitar to his home and sang songs with his two brothers together in 1972. Soon, after he graduated from his university in 1977, he decided to publish an album from the 150 songs that he and his brothers had composed together. From that time, they have published thirteen regular studio albums, three children's song albums, and other numerous albums such as compilation albums. The three brothers had continued pursuing their music until 2008 when the youngest brother, Chang-ik Kim died due to the car accident in Vancouver. They also participated in the MBC Campus Song Festival in 1977 when they published their debut album, and got the 1st place from the preliminaries, but they couldn't get into the final as Chang-wan Kim was already a graduate.
This album, which they made a debut with, is one of the most important albums in Korean pop music history. Although the album was very progressive and psychedelic considering other pop music in the same period, the album gained popularity from both critics and the mass public. The most noticeable feature of the album is its phantasmal atmosphere. One of the most well-known songs from the album, 아마 늦은 여름이었을 거야(Perhaps It Was a Late Summer) especially shows this characteristic with the melody and the lyrics that represent the aerial mood. With their 'amateurism', even though their music sometimes sound uneasy; the album shows their own unique music style with the 'uneasyness'. Their music has been still evaluated as this album was recently nominated to be the 5th greatest Korean popular music album by Kyunghyang Shinmun.
That's also why Sanullim is often referred to the pioneer of Korean psychedelic rock.
