This is actually the only song on the album that features an electric guitar. Pekka was a master of electric bass, but originally he studied classical piano and violin. He also plays piano and electric piano on this album “Harakka Bialoipokku” (released in the UK as ”B the Magpie”). It can be said to be an instrumental concept album that tells the story of a little magpie named Bialoipokku. The story included in liner notes was written by Pekka’s wife. DJ Shadow used a sample of this song in his song "Midnight in a Perfect World."
I love the fact that you have finally heard some Pekka Pohjola. Alas, I hate the fact that your first sample had to be this solo-ridden intermezzo that really tells almost nothing about Pohjola's command of form and harmony. I hope you get to listen 'Mathematician's Air Display' some day. That piece is all music with little instrumental masturbation. I get that Sekoilu might be an important document for an instrumental fetishist, but there really are many psychologically impactful compositions among the Pohjola's oeuvre, and I would venture to guess they would be of some interest to you too. This particular piece is mainly a transition between two more substantive pieces. Bless you two, as yours really is and will be THE music reaction channel for me. Here I can find bands and artists formerly unknown to me, and the intellectual honesty of your output merits to be seen something like a the gold standard. Most of the reactors tend to be rather shallow short term click/like/subscribe chasers devoid of intellectual criticism of the art they are co-consuming. Instead, you are compiling a library that are likely perused by the future generations given the quite possible continuity of the digital media and archives across future platforms and formats.
Thank you, I followed your reactions on Nightwish awhile back, and now I am happy to see you react to my absolute favorite artist from when I was young. At the time I could not pass a record shop without checking whether he’d published new material. From Pekka Pohjola’s (the bassist) catalog, one of my favorites in Try to remember, hopefully you could check it out! th-cam.com/video/v085JKKzNRE/w-d-xo.html
