UOMA

I got this Uzva's last recording Uoma some days ago and fortunately I like this one almost as much as their previous one. The music has gone a bit more electric, maybe in two compositions there are too straight suggestions to chinese and arabic music (instead of more allegory)... But all in all these Chinese Daqydream and Arabian Ran-Ta are very fine compositions. My real faves are anyway majestic Kuoriutuminen, dynamic Vesikko and pastoral Lullaby (only for three acoustic instruments - great final of this item)! On Dec 9. last year I had the greatest pleasure to visit the capital of my neighbour- country - Helsinki - to visit one concert of Uzva where they performed three longish compositions of this Uoma-recording: the results were very intense and a bit more electric than before... Uzva had (and have) some new members and on this Uoma-record also some quest musicians on different acoustic instruments (for example harp and bassoon). This record is very-worth-to-listen Finnish instrumental nature-friendly fusion with some electroacoustic (and acoustic) highlights!
