<p>All properly calibrated heads are pointing their magnetic true-norths toward <cite>Kesamaan Lapset,</cite> both the album and its title track. Head of the surpassingly cool and adventurous Finnish label Fonal, <strong>Sami Sänpäkkilä</strong> — a.k.a. <strong>Es</strong> — hits a high-sky mark in psychedelic stillness with the 20-minute-plus “Kesamaan Lapset,” one of those pieces of music that you somehow just find yourself within. Like, it begins, and after a short while you realize: It’s all around you. In a good way, like being surrounded by a just-so blend of oxygen and nitrogen, with trace amounts of argon and other gases, except it’s all begun to take on color, and you see it in its life-preserving essence, down to the atom. The shorter piece that follows and closes the album (there are five songs in all), “Haamut Sun Sydamesta,” makes for a perfect coda. Another awesome offering from this artist and label. (M.L.
