Pohjantahti-s.t.,LP,1986,Finland

After exiting Piirpauke, Saastamoinen and colleague Pekka Nylund (also ex-Piirpauke) formed the radical and influential Pohjantahti, performing the most psychedelic electric-shaman music Finland and this world have ever witnessed. Most recent output from Saastamoinen are the three shamanistic operas featuring the Pohjantahti orchestra of electric and acoustic traditional instruments, choirs and soloists: "Velho" (The Sorcerer), "Riekko" (The Snow Grouse) and "Käärme" (The Serpent).
