"Matkamiehen päämäärä ei ole siinä, että hän pääsee päämääräänsä - vaan se, että ei olisi matkalle lähtenytkään."
"I believe, this is the music the ghosts of our ancestors would make. Everything sounds like it is loaded with reverb, but that just adds to the ethereal nature of it. Nature is another keyword here. If you listen to this, you'll be able to see and smell the grey fog surrounding ancient trees in the depths of Finland. The moist ground is soft beneath your feet as you slowly meander through this maze, trying to figure out just where this haunting music is coming from. He employs a variety of guitars, percussion, and keys here." -Brad Rose - Foxy Digitalis

And have also previously released a cassette on Sloow tapes. To quote the original write up for the LP...."One of the most harmonic expressions of spiritual freak-folk coming out from Finland, Tulasi spreads around warm and positive feelings, created through spontaneous junctions of flute, guitar, violin, percussions, tambura and voices. So, the perfect sound to bring our Souls peacefully inside the wintertime is coming directly from the North”. limited 35 copies UK £3.50 EU £4.00 World £4.50
