Finnish fingerstyle / slide guitarist Antti Alanko has a new album out and available. It’s called Minne mieleni pakenet? and the title fits the music perfectly. The mind sure has a tendency to start wondering when I put the headphones on and rest a while in the arms of these melodies and soundscapes. These songs are definitely best when heard live (well what music isn’t), but the whole thing does work beautifully on a record as well. My personal favorites during the live shows has been the ones he has played with Weissenborn, so I have to go with Weissenborn Improv in G Minor on this little blog entry even though it might not be the finest choice for introduction purposes. You can hear/buy the whole thing on his Bandcamp.
