The fifth seletion of the vision-series contains Tormis' view to the Finnish national epic Kalevala. He treated it something like the ancient scripture of all the Baltic-Finnish peoples at the coast of the Finnish Gulf.

With this 10-minute piece [Raua needmine], Tormis successfully transports the listener to a primordial time and place astonishing in its raw primitivism; it sounds like the enactment of a sinister, archaic, and very dark religious ritual, and its power is gripping. The singers are called on not only to sing, but to howl, shriek, and mutter, and the chorus produces a very convincing simulacrum of the drone of a didgeridoo. (Stephen Eddins)
