Album Notes & Community Reviews

Following his departure from the legendary Wigwam, keyboardist Jukka Gustavson embarked on an intensely spiritual, highly complex solo journey. 'Valon vuoksi' is a sprawling, deeply progressive masterpiece that weaves jazz fusion elements into intricate, almost classically structured compositions. The Finnish-language release remains a highly respected, deeply demanding artifact of Northern European art rock.
