Album Notes & Community Reviews

The virtuosic Finnish multi-instrumentalist collaborates closely with Mike Oldfield on this pastoral, highly melodic symphonic rock project. The compositions are characterized by soaring guitar leads, bubbling basslines, and intricate, interlocking instrumental layers that reflect a deep influence from both classical music and Nordic folk traditions. It is a profoundly uplifting and technically brilliant entry in the European progressive canon.
