Basically Last Room is a solo album with guitar as a main instrument, nevertheless during the ambient style compositions a string quartet will create a darker and intimate atmosphere. When the album starts with Rebirth, a cool ambience is presented; smooth guitars and strings lay down the base for a spoken word part with that typical accent you just have to love. When the album continues you are gently drawn into another style Mikko masters; From Dark To Light moves from an ambient sphere to one of the most intriguing guitar parts I have heard in a while. Fabulous guitar sounds with grim and harsh vocals that are almost whispered take you to what sounds like a sort of metal song, but not in the regular way. I love the way the guitar riff sounds during this stunning composition. Flying is a short acoustic based composition where Mikko plays a second layer of electric guitar over it. A nice melodic part without a true soloing feel with a soft banjo that plays in the back. The following compositions are more mellowed down, more ambient and can be seen as soundscapes, but drenched in jazz and fusion. Another Time Another Place is smooth and acoustic, Holy Playground combines world fusion and cello with strong guitar playing, while Haunted Mind grows from smooth to a more darker sound towards the end, totally embedding the string quartet into Mikko's compositions. Room Full Of Angels gently moves away from the darker atmosphere from the previous songs and takes you to the light at the end of the tunnel, the overall sound is brighter and the string quartet seems to have tuned up from a minor to a major setting, bringing joy to the music. The second outburst on the album comes from the song Final Ride; guitars are screaming, and so is Aija Puurtinen, creating my personal second highlight of the album. The final song on the album: Welcome Home takes you back to the more ambient side of music; smooth but great sounding guitars are brilliantly combined with a cello, taking this album to the last second.
