Album Notes & Community Reviews

For their fourth album, the Finnish progressive stalwarts presented a darker, deeply intricate set of jazz-rock compositions featuring new vocalist Eero Raittinen. The musicianship remains world-class, with Jukka Tolonen's fluid guitar work driving complex, unpredictable arrangements that solidified their standing as Nordic fusion pioneers.
