And yet, thanks to Vesala's drive, passion and virtuosity 'Stars Aligned' feels perfectly contemporary. The instantly recognisable production of the album, somewhere between vintage and entirely contemporary sound design, was sculpted by star producer Miikka Huttunen, highly respected for a string of successful Finnish releases from pop to jazz. \\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003eAstoundingly, all eight minutely detailed arrangements of 'Stars Aligned' were taped in a mere three days: The title track with its emotionally ambivalent Leitmotiv and utopian harmonies; experimental study 'Murky Green'; and, last but not least, beat-driven pieces like 'Driving Force' or 'A Murder of Crows', which, with their casually swinging bass-and-drum-loops, are reminiscent of David Holme's classic soundtrack for blockbuster Ocean's Eleven.\u003cp\u003eCompulsion\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Sun's Eye\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStars Aligned\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA Murder Of Crows\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Lost Sea\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRooftops\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMurky Green\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDriving Force\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55149698941313,"sku":"753516","price":14.48,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/41CEOE_5_NL._SL1500.jpg?v=1767847480","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/753516","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
