Album Notes

CDFmE is a musical community with sole purpose to bring good music to the world.
The Ensemble was born in a year 2000 out of the need to bring back some of the more ambitious and progressive music that had to go literally underground in the 1980’s and -90’s. We released our first album ”Ideal Standards Vol. 1” in 2004 and the anticipated follower ”Land of Hope” in 2009. The musicians are seasoned professionals and share the same motto: ”Let’s rock while making mUSIC!”.

One way to describe our music is to imagine a heavy space battleship that is loaded with white lilys and red roses and in place of the engines there are colossal flocks of hummingbirds. Heavy solid bottom, eclectic middleground and delicately powerful top makes this band strong and personal sounding. The music is hard-hitting, intensive symphonic rock with lots of room for air and elegance. The songs are melodic and cinematic, progressive without being pompous in a needless manner.

Kate Bush meets Pink Floyd meets King Crimson meets Martians... or something.

The lineup is:
Katja Sirkiä, vocals
Antti Pesonen, guitars and backing vocals
Matti Jalava, keyboards and backing vocals
Eero Uurtimo, bass
Tuomo Lassila, drums and percussion
