Mikael Katajamäki, Timo Pratskin: Balance - Labyrinth - Ultra Rare Jazz Fusion From Finland



This is ultra-rare fusion from Finland from a nearly impossible to find release called Balance. I was sent a copy for a review many years ago. I thought I would share a track from the release called "Labyrinth". This is quality jazz fusion from 2000.

  1. Hello,

    Nice to see a review of our CD from 20 years ago! Glad you liked it!

    My name is Timo Vuoppola, I played the drums on this CD and wrote 2 of the tunes.

    I just wanted to let you know that there are 33 copies left of the Balance CD. These are the very last copies. Feel free to write back in case there is any interest.

    Also, I’ve been doing music ever since, and, if interested, you can check that out here:

    All the best,

    Timo

    1. Hello,

      is there any chance to listen to more songs of this album? Intriguing!
      Since I am a great Fan of Alan Holdsworth, I would buy if applicable the album.

      Best,
      Peter

  3. I've had this for at least 19 years. A friend sent me a disc that had before songs by Balance ... and twice as many songs by Timo V. On the letter stuff which was basically tmoes Greatest Hits and a solo thing he played almost all the instruments if memory serves. I've got it in my CD player now and I'm grooving. This is some outstanding music and the Holdsworth Style
