Finnish duo of musicians/singers Marianne Nyman and Mikael Wiik, assisted by bassist Leif Kiviharju, Wigwam's drummer Ronnie Österberg and Tasavallan Presidentti's saxophonist/flutist Pekka Pöyry.Musically somewhere between Folk and soft Progressive Rock with good instrumental sections and even some light jazzy/bluesy flavors.Nice vocal harmonies and clean instrumentation with great bass work, mellow flute, calm keyboards and controlled acoustic/electric sections.It lacks some dynamics, that is for sure, but the arrangements are detailed and definitely above your average Rock album.The duo produced another 2 singles towards the end of the 80's.
