Featuring the sounds of the Finnish progressive rock and jazz fusion album B The Magpie from 1974. Originally Pohjola rose to fame as the bass player of the Finnish progressive rock band Wigwam, but he soon departed on a solo career, initially releasing Frank Zappa-influenced progressive rock albums. Moving away from this, B The Magpie is theatrical and playful with trumpets, saxophones, piano and violin featuring heavily.

Plus, brooding experimental rock exploring survival under capitalism, jubilant and ethereal spiritual jazz singing of rebirth and 1970’s Ukranian folk.
