Album Notes & Community Reviews

The monumental third release by the Finnish progressive icons is an expansive double album that firmly established them as the premier Scandinavian rock export. Balancing Jim Pembroke's McCartney-esque pop sensibilities with Jukka Gustavson's sprawling, classically-inspired keyboard suites, the record explores an incredibly diverse sonic landscape. It is an absolute cornerstone of the Nordic 70s progressive rock explosion.
