After the release of their first CD, Viima changed lineup, expanding to a quintet and transitioning from female to male singer. It worked to their advantage, as Kahden Kuun Sirpit is a more powerful symphonic prog album, without the folky aspects of their debut. There is a Genesis influence on this CD that was not present on their first, plus Camel and perhaps Focus. Keyboards include Mellotron, Hammond organ, Rhodes, and analog synths, and there is flute, soprano sax, and a string quartet. In fact, Kahden Kuun Sirpit is on par with the best Scandinavian classic progressive bands: Atlas, 1970s Kaipa, Blåkulla, early Isildurs Bane, Tabula Rasa, etc.
