Album Notes & Community Reviews
The debut solo effort by the virtuoso guitarist of the Finnish band Wigwam is a masterful excursion into highly melodic, complex jazz-rock. Showcasing fluid, lightning-fast guitar phrasing and sophisticated keyboard arrangements, the mostly instrumental record perfectly balances tight technical precision with playful, Canterbury-esque eccentricity. It firmly established him as a premier instrumentalist in the European progressive scene.
