Ukrainian Retro. Masterpieces of Ukrainian Music. /digi-pack/

Ukrainian retro has become the topic of this, third compilation – you understand that it is a rather relative and conditional definition. There can be no absolute answer here – only more or less adequate ones. Nevertheless, in our opinion, the task set has been performed successfully, indeed. A transparent sensation of something close, warm, partially forgotten a bit – however, not less native appears from the very first notes. Vice versa – the haze of time melts and attributes these melodies, voices with a sort of unreserved, indescribable tenderness. This is not even nostalgia – this is just some other perception of beauty, which we sometimes lack in our days. We live fast... But this music is in no hurry, it remains a quiet harbor – and it is important to remember that one can always drop in here to have some rest. Here, there are always smiles, and waltz, and warm evenings.

It is not only interesting, but also pleasant to know that – guess who – Oleg Skrypka himself made a direct contribution into compilation of absolutely all discs of the "Masterpieces of Ukrainian Music" series. Considering that it was his recording house "Kraina Mriy" that has been working over the series – that is, actually, not surprising. But, in any case, it is nice to see that Skrypka has revealed an outstanding awareness of the material. You should also take into account how extensive the palette of themes selected has appeared – and not hackneyed, by the way... We believe that when working over these compilations, he had a lot of interesting discoveries for himself – and we have no doubt that for the future audience of these discs these discoveries may appear no less interesting...

Victor Pavlik. No Promises No Forgiveness. /digi-pack/.


Pavlik has come back with the album in English. There is the feeling that the album was created mainly for the guys' own fun – and this must be right. By the way, perhaps, this is because there are not only translations of the best songs by Pavlik of various years, but also some nice covers of world hits.

Victor Pavlik. Kimnata v seredyni moho sercia. (Room in the Middle of My Heart)


In our opinion, it is the album "Room in the Middle of my Heart" that turns out the best studio album among Viktor Pavlik's works – and it still remains such. So, it is very nice that this disc is now re-issued in good quality – we believe it has not lost its relevance, as good drinks and elegant clothes do not lose it...

Olexander Vasylenko. Meni z toboju dobre. /digi-pack/. (I Feel Good With You)


...here, one can hear both a capella compositions, and orchestrated ones, and those recorded in the variety art genre. And such variety, as a result, presents Olexander Vasylenko as a vocalist in a very positive light – because different styles, sure, imply different performance nature. And he has succeeded in this – easily, convincingly.

Olexander Vasylenko. Kvitka nichnoho sadu. /digi-pack/. (Night Garden Flower)


Olexander Vasylenko has released two more related, interconnected works: "Night Garden Flower" and "I Feel Good With You". They are dedicated – to the romance. Thus, it is nice that the term here implies a rather broad sense.

Volodymyr Luciw. Z Ukrajinoju v sertsi. (With Ukraine in heart)


For Ukrainians, it is already the highest time to get rid of the inferiority complex. Only those nations that do not yield their authenticity and culture will manage to withstand and preserve their historical prospect in the contemporary cruel, dynamic, technological and changeable world...

Mykola Hnatyuk. Znov. (Again).


He got his first real popularity approximately 30 years ago. And it was huge – as it was measured by the scale of the Soviet Union. Then there was the victory at the festival in Sopot – and here in those times this was considered a sort of a peak of a variety art career.
