KULTASIIPI

Finnish composer and musician Juha KUJANPAA has been creating music for almost 20 years, is presently a member of half a dozen bands, and have generally been an active presence in the Finnish music scene. He made his debut as a solo artist back in 2013, and currently have three solo albums to his name. "Kultasiipi" is the second of these, and was released through Finnish label Eclipse Music at the tail end of 2015.

There are many artists out there that explore various incarnations of vintage era progressive rock. While Kujanpaa most likely is a part of such a context, he does this in his own manner, blending elements from Scandinavian folk music in an elegant and effective manner, creating music with a dream-laden spirit that also maintains depth and enough details to please most with a taste for music of this kind. I'd suggest that those who tend to enjoy artists such as Camel should have a taste of this album, especially if they also tend to be fascinated by folk music in general and Scandinavian folk music in particular.
