The second album from this band from Finland.
The band was a ten piece big band with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars, viola, cello, violin, keyboards, trumpet, flute, saxophone, trombone and vocals.
I reviewed their newest album, the 2024 album Green Divine, earlier this year and gave it a good rating. I had also given their 2012 debut album a good rating in an earlier edition of this blog.
Then I got this album, the missing link, and put it up for review as soon as I could.
The music on this three quarters of an hour long album is a mix of good old fusion from the 1970s scene in Finland, quirky prog as in Gentle Giant, vaudeville rock, eclectic prog and folk-rock.
The music is more melodic and restrained than their new album. This album is indeed the missing link between ther first and third album when it comes to their music.
There is some weird woodwinds here and some more linear normal woodwinds. All of them are good. The vocals is also good here.
The pieces of music is good throughout.
This is a bit of a weird album which is not perhaps for those only seeking good melodies. It is a very interesting album though and one well worth checking out.
