The CD reissue of Mummi Kutoo's self-titled debut is a must for anyone interested in Finland's currently hip psychedelic-folk scene (Lau Nau, Kiila, Avarus, etc.). It's also essential for fans of such post-hippie beauties as the Incredible String Band, Roy Harper, Neil Young, and Pink Floyd. First released by the immortal Love Records, Mummi Kutoo is much more than eclectic folk rock that employs instruments like piano, banjo, tuba, and mandolin: the album's soft dreamscape exhibits a thorough understanding of melodic orchestral pop, fragile coffeehouse jazz, and light AM country. Nine unreleased bonus tracks appear alongside the original 1975 LP cuts. Kuunsilta Pakenee pienet
