Manju's Dream

This song started as B C Manjunath's percussion & konnakol solo piece, that was composed and recorded earlier in India, but never used. Visa Oscar and Pekka Pylkkänen composed melody and harmony parts to it and Manju's Dream started taking shape. Pekka Pylkkänen recorded his saxophone parts in Athens, Greece and Visa Oscar did the production and all other instruments in Helsinki, Finland. Drum grooves were recorded as MIDI on Roland V-Drums by Jussi Miettola and programmed/edited by Visa Oscar.
