Album Notes & Community Reviews
A remarkable artifact of the Finnish underground, this entirely instrumental album seamlessly blends indigenous folk modalities with the complex structures of progressive rock and jazz-fusion[cite: 1]. The composer and multi-instrumentalist relies heavily on intricate acoustic guitar passages and soaring electric leads to create a deeply pastoral, expansive atmosphere[cite: 1].
