Post Description

Pohjola's debut album, recorded while he was still a member of Wigwam, shows him still feeling the space and discovering his unique voice. He wears his influences on his sleeve, particularly instrumental Zappa, on his sleeve here more than anywhere else.
That said, it's still a relatively strong album. "Nipistys" is probably the best-known track here, which was performed live with Wigwam at the time. Here it's paired with the airy, organic "Valittaja". Already, Pohjola's predilection for massing wind instruments to orchestrate surfaces here, albeit in a more modest form, with only Risto Rensola and the late, great Pekka Pöyry along for the ride.

Echt een geweldig album voor jazz,prog,rockers
