I generally do not really like various collections – practically regardless of what music they comprise. Just because I often prefer to go as deeply as possible – and that is why I try to listen to complete albums, not fragments. I know that this is my personal business. But I mention it here only because exceptions happen there – and the today's disk is one of them. The compilers of this collection have already for the second time, it seems to me, succeeded in doing the almost impossible – drawing the integral picture based on not just separate fragments, but on self-sufficient ones. Each of the songs represented here may already by itself be a bright representation of a whole epoch. Every voice, every melody, every text are the treasure of Ukrainian variety art tested by time. That is why it is both a little strange, and pleasant that songs on the disk do not compete among themselves, but complement each other, mutually emphasize the advantages. And as a result – there is no that feeling as when you listen to a collection. No. In this case – you listen to an integral, harmonious album. You listen to the uniform mood, time, space... Actually, the very existence of exceptions justifies, although partly, existence of the majority of rules...
