New Finnish Fantasia album, limited time only



Of course they made an absolutely brilliant hallmark of progressive rock in 1975.
Surprisingly this past year they made a follow up, some 47 years later (!) which to my utter surprise turned out to be stunningly good, showing a complete and ageless dedication to the progressive spirit.
Of note is that they replicate some of the songs from the original album (eg the very first track), with not much altered, not sure why that happened.

However, the new & original track called Taj Mahal is really a delight:



I mean, essentially a 'master class' (as the new cliche goes) in progressive songwriting with the dissonances of minor second, tritones, the diminished arpeggios, the abrupt chord changes and rhythm changes, the constant changes in feeling and modulations, it's just perfectly progressive overall. Should be an anthem to the this most neglected and maligned style of brilliant music.
