The fourth album from this band from Finland.
The band was a quintet with a lineup of drums, percussion, bass, guitars, piano, keyboards, flute, saxophone and vocals.
The previous album, the 1972 album Lambertland, gave the band their international breakthrough and is widely regarded as one of the finest jazz/prog albums from Finland.
So, how could they follow up that album ?
The music is still Canterbury prog and jazz. It is quirky, jazzy and slightly eclectic. The mix of saxophones, guitars and keyboards is very good here. The vocals is playful and good.
There is a lot of interesting details throughout this fifty minutes long album.
There is no great pieces of music here. Nevertheless, the music is good throughout and this album should really put the band on the map again.... which it indeed did when it was released fifty years ago.
This is an album fans of Scandinavian prog and the Canterbury scene should get.
