Ruslana. Wild Dances (Welcome to My Wild World).

(item from the "Rare Discs" section)

With these songs, Ruslana not just loudly declared herself and Ukraine – she actually vanquished Europe. At least, in the end of May, 2006, they conducted a poll – and Ruslana’s song "Wild Dances" was recognized as the best song during the whole history of the "Eurovision" contest (51 years!). It was not some board that recognized that, but usual spectators and listeners all through Europe. So, the thing here is the issue most valuable for a performer – recognition by people. It seems that it can justly be called the triumph. However, it is not necessary to take into account anybody’s opinion – you’d better listen yourselves. Ruslana suggests a new perspective of popular culture – actually, as of a version of culture, and not just some consumer goods. At least, pop-music may become such – sated with historical, cultural associations and transformations, reconsiderations. Pop-music is also able to rely on deep ethnic roots. And Ruslana convincingly shows what powerful results can be achieved when making this kind of steps.

Astarta. Astarta/Edwin. /digi-pack/.


Cooperation of Astarta (a side project by Eduard Prystupa) with Colin Edwin (Porcupine Tree bass-player) is just an example of such quality implementation of ideas, when first you do not even try to understand what the essence is, but just listen. Listen carefully, because it is delicious.

ILLaria. 13 misyatsiv. /digi-pack/. (13 Months)


...Ukrainian authenticity is primarily the mystical energy of the earth and the complete harmony with the space. This is very powerful music! The new disc by ILLARIA is a kind of a calendar of Ukrainian music traditions. It includes cover versions of well-known folk songs based on authentic archival records.

Alibi. Folk. /digi-pack/.


...arrangements of this album very relevantly intertwine Ukrainian melodies with folk tunes of other nations. The palette is very broad – from klezmer and to gospel – and that, you know, positively impresses. Definitely – "Alibi" grows over itself, and grows in an interesting way.

Pavlo Tabakov. Rizdvo dlja dvokh. (Christmas for Two)


Careful attitude to derivative material, interesting arrangements, general saturation of the musical component with various optional but so appropriate decorations – all of that is here. And all of that makes the album "Christmas for Two", maybe, one of the best pop-albums devoted to the theme of Christmas during the several recent years.

Harmony of Nature. Summer.


...the disc combines such directions as ambient, lounge and classics. The result – orchestrated melodies accompanied by sounds of nature and modern electronic rhythms, the easy and cheerful atmosphere of leisure. Besides, all of that is also seasoned with ethnic colors – not too thickly, but pleasantly.

Ruslana. Wild Energy.


"Amazon" became the messenger of changes – though interesting but still a test of forces, reconnaissance of other territories. Now this is obvious, because "Wild Energy", in its turn, is a weighty result of those very deep quality transformations. The disc should, obviously, become the head stone in creating the image of a new Ruslana – and it has everything necessary for that. This is really another quality of music, and not only music.

Serhiy Zakharec'. Huljay, molodyy! /digi-pack/. (Make Merry, Youth!)


The project "Make Merry, Youth!" is an attempt to connect in the ethno-pop music genre reconstructed samples of folk and professional traditions of the center and east of Ukraine, use authentic music instruments, playing techniques and sound scales for their full-fledged introduction into modern youth culture. And also – to make the ear of a wide audience of listeners used to the new timbre...

Ruslana. Dyka enerhiya. (single). /slim box/. (Wild Energy)


For some time Ruslana, it seemed, had disappeared somewhere – but it has appeared that she had not. It has been revealed that she just – well, certainly – prepared a new powerful explosion on the plane of the domestic ethnic pop. Well, and now – the first robin, the first powerful explosive bullet – here you are!

Molotov 20, Marta Shpak. Osiayni. The modern treatment of traditional Ukrainian folk music. /digi-pack/. (Enlighted)


Rhythms of "Osiayni" bewitch with their soft, silent pace. Marta, in her turn, also obviously appears here not by chance. Her voice has a very interesting feature – it somehow inexplicably combines in itself the past and the future. It seems to be native – and somehow not from here.

WOW! This CD is also available in Germany, but I think, the germans don't hear this kind of music. For me, it's a pity, 'cause it's one of the best CDs this year!

according to Steven I want to add that the greatest songs are those in Ukrainian language because it has more feel than the english songs. Sorry Steven ... I also can't understand the lyrics but no matter - it's the music I like. Added to some new songs there are some interesting remixes of songs from the last album. Interesting because these songs are the same but in a new way.

Stay hey hey and enjoy!

My girl from Lugansk told me about Ruslana, so I checked it out and Wow. I like the wild style mixed with the native sound. It's got a good heavy beat and top quality sound. I personally think she's got all the top female musicians over here in the USA beat by a long shot! With a very little bit more guitar sound in place of the hey, hey, it would be some killer music with a nice wild girl in charge! I still feel that my girl from lugansk is the best though!

This is a follow-up to Ruslana's superb 'Dyki tantsi' album from last year. A lot of the songs will be familiar to anyone who already has 'Dyki tantsi' - some of these are English-language versions of songs that appeared in Ukrainian on 'Dyki tantsi', for example. However, there is enough new material to make this a highly enjoyable addition to anyone's CD collection. 'Dance With The Wolves' is particularly outstanding.
