TIME TRAVELLER is a finnish progressive rock unit coiled around Juhani Nisula and his guitar. The debut album Chapters 1 & 2 is a rich combination of styles, a musical journey to the heart of, well, time and -travelling. The main point is electric guitar but also everything else that surrounds Juhani´s magical playing and themes is something unique. If you love Hendrix´s “Third Stone From The Sun” or “ Cross Town Traffic”, if you know how Trower played in Procol Harum and on his solo albums and prefer Mahogany Rush on it´s most psychedelic side, this is a true treasure for you.

Chapters I & II is entirely composed / arranged / produced / recorded / mixed, and for the most part, also played by Juhani Nisula in his full-analog home “studio” (read: an old Fostex 16 tracker, crappy mixer and few cheap echos…) with a little help from his friends’ Esko ‘Zeko’ Takamäki, who played the drums and percussion instruments, Timo Ristilä, who played the great Moog solo on ‘Part One: The Pioneers’ and the violinist Sanna Ågren, who played the magnificient violin parts on ‘Part Seven: The Release’.
As being a long-term proghead, Juhani wanted this album naturally to be, accordingly to it’s genre, a concept album. And yes, it IS about travelling in space and time. Juhani has planned the production to be a trilogy - this first album consists on the first two Chapters (I & II), second album will consist of Chapters III & IV and naturally the trilogy’s last album will consist of Chapters V & VI.
