Viima Discography
















Väistyy mielen yö (Viima-003) 2024
Each of the five pieces is a winner, especially for a listener who enjoys the "old-fashioned" pastoral delicacy. The fairly similar approach can also be heard in the softer end of the RPI spectre, bands such as Errata Corrige or Eris Pluvia. The opener 'Tyttö trapetsilla' is a tight, melodic song in which the very delicious flute riff plays a significant role. Drummer Mikko Väärälä's composition, the nearly 19-minute epic 'Äiti Maan lapset' is becoming one of my all-time favourite magnum opuses in Finnish prog. The dynamic and yet delicate-sounding, lyrically thoughful piece is meandering elegantly from start to finish, avoiding the obvious risk of sounding patchy. At times I thought of FRUUPP's 'Gormenghast' for the soundscape. The layered keyboards sound lovely, and also the drumming adds dynamics. An amazing masterpiece!

Kahden kuun sirpit (Viima-002) 2009
"Kahden Kuun Sirpit" explores the realms of vintage sounding, symphonic art rock almost to perfection, with strong performances and good compositions from start to finish." Olav M Björnsen, ProgressoR
















Ajatuksia maailman laidalta (Viima-001) 2006
"Wonderful, melodic music this album entails. Peaceful and lovely female vocals are enhanced by the delicate flute, but there is no lack of propulsion in the music. On the other hand, there’s a good amount of vibrancy and vitality mixed with well done compositions and high level musicianship. There is a “joix de vivre” sensation throughout the album. Not only that, but great warmth emanates from the music." Avestin, Progressive Ears
