Pizza (released 21 June 1994)
"Pizza" was made and released at a time when the whole of the Western world was in the grips of a recession. But the deeper Finland and the rest of the world sank into the depression, the more splendid the Pizza became. By the end, making the Pizza involved no fewer than 69 musicians, 39 different instruments and a whole 38 studio days, to say nothing of all the days' work for the three preceding years during which the dough was kneaded, the toppings chosen, the Pizzas baked and the table set.
In other words, "Pizza" appeared at a time when all around, the world was cutting back, giving people the sack, wailing and gnashing its teeth. Something needed to be done,
to put a stop to the overall air of gloom and doom. The moment was ripe for the Finnish musician to tighten his belt, prove his mettle and his unshakable faith in the future. Time for the boys and girls to come out and play and eat pizza alongside the old gig hands in the face of the global midi-storm of material warfare! Help yourself to a slice of Pizza!
