The debut album from this band from Finland.
The band was a quintet with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars, organ, keyboards, synths, saxophones, flute and vocals.
This band has so far released three albums. The latest one earlier this year. I will review the two remaining albums later this month.
This band were formed to play and then later compose retro-progressive rock.
Hence, the music has a lot of Camel, Jethro Tull, King Crimson and Van Der Graaf Generator influences here.
The band is also playing homage to the first Finnish prog and jazz bands from the 1970s on this album. The saxophones is everywhere and reminds me a lot about those pioneers of the Finnish scene.
In short, the music here is a mix of good old early prog and fusion. That with a great deal of folk rock influences.
The Finnish vocals from the two vocalists are good and ditto for the sound. The sound is very warm. Not a bad thing on a cold day in the autumn in my office....
This album is three quarters of an hour long and the quality is good throughout. This is more than an acceptable debut album. Fans of early prog and prog rock from Scandinavia should check out this album.
