The best Living Legends album of late is not coming from the Living Legends camp (not to take anything away from them guys though). Yes, that statement does not make sense. But if you are able to get a hold of this album, you will know what it means. Pijall is not a member of the Living Legends crew. He's not biting their style, but he is inspired by it. And he takes those idea and advances them into far elevated fields, that in the end, he can claim this style his own. Or to put it different: this is a very, very dope album.

And it opens with "Entrance (The Cave)" with crickets chirping in the back ground, this track is like a giant waking up. It's like Pijall rolling away the stone in front of his cave, with sleepy eyes, not having expected us so early, but he speaks the words "this is Pijall's cave can you relate, don't be shy, just come on inside, let's take a ride, but remember to leave your shoes on the front door, cause satellites don't like the dirt on the floor". Welcome. Like slow breathing, like whispering, the track fades into "Labour / Taakka" feat. Mörkö, the mastermind behind every beat. Wind takes us within the structure of this track, that is so much doper than 95% of what you will be hearing this year. And suddenly you go 'huh?'. Yes, that's Finish. Finland, that's where Pijall is from. And of course we are not able to catch what he's saying (at least we, who always had a window chair in Finish 101).

"Eino Sunshine" is a little bastard way to spell "Ain't No Sunshine". This classic song gets used for the hook, embedded within the track in a rather complimentary way (although Big Renzo didn't like it). Matti P. helps out on this track, and with lady bad luck rhymes, a very dragging drum, this track still holds us hypnotized. And we will not wake up for the rest of the album. Cause the space echo of a hallow opening is clouding us on "Unilaulu". Now this is music. This track has a bridge, changes in motion and feel, it always seems to be different, always somewhere else, but always one unit. And Pijall goes "it's seven o'clock and I gotta go to work, and I hate that". What leaves us to advance to "Philantrophism". He's critical. He's conditionally approaching being unconditionally. Where were you, where was "the personal responsibility of compassion"?

What happens now? "Pen Pal" feat. Iwere and Didier picks up the pace. It doesn't fail, but it also doesn't work too good. Next. Aaaaah, we can calm down again. Our heartbeat settles to 40 per minute. We like to be carried by "Selfsubsidence At The Muse Park". This is being on the look out for a higher or the higher being. Lost. "Learning mathematical equations, I'm a zero". Then almost the stand still. Almost. But during "Tacilearn" there are always few second long moments of picking up the destruction. Only short moments. But at the end we do move forward "when awareness was risen, I was immediately redeemed from thy little prison of ignorance, but I am still on probation". Refreshed by "Like Water Said" feat. Division and Iwere, but much happier about "I Don't Know, Do I?". Then again, brilliantly blessed with "I Need A Women". The piano is amazing. The expressed emotion is reflected in each key played. Holding hands with the beat, Pijall expresses thoughts of imagination. A feeling that only home gives you, that only your own bed gives you, that only a women can give you.

"Meistä Moneksi" combines the lyrical talent of Matti P., Keizuke, Mörko and the Pi. That's four minds. And that's also four languages. English. Finish. Swedish. Japanese. Right? The whistling beat is making us happy. Brilliant. And we stay happy with "Alati Edessäsi". We can't get enough of "Desperate Waits For Response". We dig the Living Legend comparison out the back of our head, when we listen to the proud "Declaration Of Liberty". And with the climax of "Me", going out to "my mellow my man: Jesus", we know that we have experienced something that is as euphoric to our spirit as adrenaline to our excitement. A good analogy.

Is this album without flaw? Hmmm, not really. If you don't like this style, you will hate this album. If you do, you will love this album. Still, there are some tracks on here, that can't live up to the brilliance of the rest, tracks that rip our minds out of our mental dream. Tracks that are like a terrible bump in the middle of a perfectly paved road. Nevertheless, this is of the most brilliant to obtain.
