Eight years have passed since the release of "Only in Lviv" – the previous joint work by Victor Morozov and Batiar-Band "Halychyna". Therefore, "A Batiar's Heart" is a piece of news that is not only nice but also long-awaited. However, if news is really interesting, it is worth waiting for – well, and Victor Morozov, actually, can be regarded as a sort of a guarantor of that it will be interesting indeed. By the way, pay attention: while the previous album consisted exclusively of old batiar songs composed at the beginning of the past century, "A Batiar's Heart" is already author's material, styling. And truly brilliant styling. The overwhelming majority of texts for the album were composed by Andriy Panchyshyn – but they sound as if one hundred years ago they could really be heard in Lviv streets. Definitely, we should thank "Halychyna" and Morozov (he is not only the performer, but also the key author of the music on the album) – the atmosphere of former times is reflected in an extraordinarily bright, well-aimed, sincere way. Nothing to add, you listen – and you just believe! Moreover: without regard to the romantic haze, you feel some authentic threatening beauty looming through these songs. In the end, batiars were far from angels, and they rhymed love with rove far not only in lyrics... Thus, I strongly recommend you to listen to this. "A Batiar's Heart", I believe, will make you not only weep and laugh (literally, by the way) but also – think... The publication contains a 20-page booklet with texts and other information.

..Anyway, the album "And I am not a Moscovite" convincingly illustrates how cleverly one can make fun of the Soviet influence and chanson (in the post-Soviet sense) miasma in the modern Ukrainian culture without resorting to brutal methods. Well, almost without it. Only by irony and, above all, self-irony – sometimes quite tough...

The performance concert by Oleh Skrypka and Les Podervyansky "Humanists" took place in December, 2000. Actually, 10 years after, in January, 2011, the performance got a new life... This recording is the case of an exclusive creative collaboration of two personalities significant for the modern Ukrainian culture.

This recording is the case of an exclusive creative collaboration of two personalities significant for the modern Ukrainian culture. It is a pity that Les Podervyansky does not sing here. Instead, Oleh Skrypka actively participates in duping the plays, and this creates an additional comic and grotesque effect.. Published for the first time.

During the recent years, Gogol Bordello has become, probably, one of the most popular eccentric bands in the entire world – while it plays not quite, so to speak, commercial music. Though, on the other hand, in these songs so much is mixed that the definition "gipsy ska-punk" does not convey even a half of it...

The album is really queer, its style is "for one’s soul". To the question "for whose one?" we answer: a hippie’s one, whatever this word may mean. It is a man's dialogue with the air, when the woman has already left, but her image is still melting in the mirror. And you are in the middle of all that – what other explanations do you need? There is nothing. A hangover philosophical song.

Yuriy Zdorenko & Hash spin up – and in quite an unexpected way. Actually, what could seem after release of their debut mini-album? That Zdorenko decided to cook another poignantly hot dish based on the recipe tested in the "Borsch" project. And what actually turns out?

This disc creates its own specific atmosphere, tender and impudent at the same time, it smells the streets, along which maidens defile dressed in clothes you can not see in our time. You know, this is a very pleasant feeling – the feeling of presence which appears while listening to this disc.

A real Halician knees up this one. Great violins, great accordion and snappy cheeky lyrics that will have you looking up exotically archaic words in obscure dictionaries of the local dialect. The music is best described as very lively and upbeat, evoking nostalgia for a bye gone Lviv very well. Listening to it and reading the helpful sleeve notes you really do get the feeling that Lviv was once a truly bustling cosmopolitan urban centre which culturally drew on many influences, the result was Batyar music. My only question is where can you listen to this music in Lviv itself? Has it disappeared completely from Lviv?

Завдяки Віктору Морозову та його батяр-бенду дізнався, хто такі батяри. Важко виділити якусь з пісень альбому. Всі вони зачаровують. Ніби опиняєшся у старовинному Львові, ніби дивишся кіно. Тому враження від альбому цілком позитивне.
Дуже цікавий галицький діалект: значення слів деяких пісень можна зрозуміти, лише прочитавши текст. Дуже рекомендую поціновувачам екзотики та мовознавцям.

Авторы подошли к изданию основательно. А исполители и в первую очередь Виктор Морозов (так же как композитор) превзошли себя. Альбом слушается легко. Кроме авторского материала на альбоме присутствуют 3 песни неизвестных авторов и два творения маестро Генрика Варса. 10-я дорожка весьма интересна. Как и весь материал в целом. Виктор Морозов и команда настоящие профессионалы. Вот Морозов издал уже свой 4-й сольный диск за 10-летие и все они настоящие перлы. Да, конечно музыка здесь особенная, стилизация под ретро, сделанная на высоком художественном уровне. Оформление диска мне нравится (как и первого "батярского" также). Великолепно исполнено. Браво, ребята!
Не совсем понял по поводу бонус-треков. Они являются продолжением дорожек альбома, тема-то одна. Наверно вошли в одну сессию. Тогда получается остаток материала отложили до следующего издания, там это или в альбом войдёт или в качестве бонусов.
