70s band from Finland, they sound a bit similar to Trettioariga Kriget (they also have very loud bass and maybe similar expressive style of singing, but here it's Finnish) + there's more folk influences and saxophone from time to time.
There's also strong psychedelic heritage in this album, but I think that despite the dated sound it's quite progressive in terms of composition.
Saxophones arrangements bring to mind Audience from UK a bit.
The best are:
- varied "Persialaisella Tortilla" with some classical folk melody on hammonds,
- starting with Van Deer Graafy piano at the beginning and good guitar and hammonds later "Tahdon Olla Kanssasi"
- dynamic "Sunny Blue" with saxophone
- title track "Unikuva" with even sinister groove feel after 1:30 and towards the end, with more saxophones.
