PEKKA POHJOLA GROUP: KÄTKÄVAARAN LOHIKÄÄRME

The last album in the range of the classic sounding, extermely inventive albums of Pekka Pohjola, one of the greatest bass-players ever, with long tunes featured with musical humour and extravaganza which only Pekka can do in a Sibelian way.....on the album are many great moments, the compositions are a cocktail of clever and skilled fusion-progrock with symphonic undertones. Musicians and the careful listener know what the true joy of making music is about, when you have the ability to discover new territories. Check out also all his first four other albums from the 70's which all are minor masterpieces.

After thisalbum, the music of Pekka Pohjola did not have the genuine Finnish spirit present as a result of the decline of the progressive era, albums from the 80's onwards are more fusion oriented.Anyway Pekka is one of my alltime favourites, and all his albums are recommended!
