Museum Musica

Finland, 1979, jazz-rock / progressive rock / symphonic prog

Pekka Pohjola – Visitation: The first two tracks are basically saxophone porn (I mean, the dude has four different people playing saxophone on this album), and if the album didn’t lay off, I probably wouldn’t have had as good a rating for it. But with the third track, Pohjola pulls back into more delicate territory with strings and flutes, which then gives way to playful music that’s more guitar driven. A lot going on here, basically.
