Counterbalance is a 1971 jazz fusion album by the Heikki Sarmanto Quintet that blends jazz, rock, and Finnish folk music elements. Reviewers have praised the album for its unique sound and musicianship, describing the album as "one of the very best Finnish jazz albums of all time". The album is particularly lauded for the extensive flute work of Juhani Aaltonen and the electric piano playing of Heikki Sarmanto. Some listeners praise its laid-back, ambient feel, comparing it to early "Return To Forever".
