Pacha & Pörsti - Views from the Inner World (2022)

The debut album from this band from Finland.

The band is a duo with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars, mandolin, keyboards, lyre, electric violin, viola and melodica.

The duo had help from guests who provided saxophones, flutes, bass, guitars and vocals.

This dui is Rafael Pacha and Kimmo Porsti. The latter one has released three solo albums before teaming up with Rafael Pacha for this album.

The music on this one hour long album is mostly instrumental progressive rock. The Oldfield siblings springs to mind here. Both Mike and in particular Sally Oldfield. That means a lot of Irish folk rock influenced progressive rock.

The vocals are good when they comes into play.

There is also some more Scandinavian folk rock influenced progressive rock here.

The music here is in general a blend of folk rock and symphonic prog. The music is nice but it does not have that many interesting details.

The result is an album somewhere between decent and good. 

2.5 points
