Kun Suomi putos puusta, (Finnish for "When Finland Fell Out Of the Tree") also known as Kun Suomi putos puusta: ääniä vapaan pudotuksen aikakaudelta,[1][2] is Ismo Alanko’s debut solo album, released in 1990. Originally commissioned for Helsingin Juhlaviikot (Helsinki Festival Week), the album showcases a departure from Alanko's previous work with the band Sielun Veljet (The Soul Brothers).
Unlike the trademark material of Sielun Veljet, Kun Suomi putos puusta explores a more acoustic and minimalist production style. The album incorporates foley-style atmospheric sound effects commonly used in film production, adding a unique touch to the musical direction.[3]
The album achieved considerable success in Finland, selling over 30,000 copies and earning a gold certification in 1999.[4]
