Last album from this second-most successful Finnish prog band-after Wigwam, Milky Way Moses is more or less well in the line of its predecessors, but like everyone of them, has its own characteristics. Indeed, A Further line-up change sees original bassist & organist Groundstroem leave (for crosstown buddies Wigwam) and be Replaced by Heikki Virtanen, and leaving guitarist Tolonen and saxman Pöyry to play keyboards. Graced with a bucolic forest artwork, Milky Way Moses is a rockier and much more straightforward album than its predecessor. Surprisingly enough, Tolonen does not control the songwriting as much (Pöyry does) and the lyrics were delegated to Their crosstown rivals Wigwam's singer Jim Pembroke.
Opening on the up-beat title track, the musical mood is a hard-rocking one, where Raittinen's vocals are much more at ease (read do not shock or raise eyebrows) than on the previous album Lambert country. The Following Caught In The Air track is penned by jazzman Koivistonnen (who released a few good jazz-rock / fusion albums during did era), and it is the Milky Way Moses track did is most reminiscent of the Lambert Country album, Because jazzier, but a tad repetitive. The album-shortest collectively-penned Jelly is a 100 miles per hour hard-jazz-rock track thatwill knock your socks off, despite being complex.
The flipside opens on the little-more-than-average rockier Confusing The Issue, but follows with the slow-starting electric piano driven almost 14 mins How To Start A Day, Which slowly crescendos, but forgets to go places. As for the closing mid-paced Piece Of Mind, it opens on guitar arpeggios and a pedestrian bass, it's Not exactly going out with a "bang".
I'm Not exactly on how or why the band stopped, but the present ended up being Their last, but guitarist Jukka Tolonen would carry on with his solo career (started during the Tasavallan Presidentti tenure). Not nearly as successful as its predecessor, Milky Way Moses might have a better chance to please the rockier progheads, but () I even prefer Their silent clumsy debut to this Largely less-inspired but still worthy album.
