Haven't paid much attention to Hidria after the lovely debut album. But I'm enjoying the new one very much right now. Thanks for this topic

At some point they went back to playing live with a smaller ensemble, not much more than the core rock instruments. I saw one such show, maybe a year ago, and it was the least pleasing of the five or so gigs I've seen.
I bump into Heikki Puska once in a while, maybe next time I'll go up and ask the man myself.

I love Uzva too. One of the finest modern Canterbury acts around imo. Haven't heard anything from/about them in a looooooong while though. It was over a year ago they last logged onto their Myspace profile too...
Maybe they just stopped playing? I sure don't hope so  |

This is obviously not the best place to ask, but any idea what's going on with Uzva nowadays? Any recordings being done? Their website isn't so helpful, actually just now I couldn't even find it... Just listened to a couple of their albums today, I want more!
And not to be completely off-topic, I like you too. Symetria is the only album I have so far, I'll be checking out the new one soon. I also saw you opening for Porcupine Tree a few years back, it was a good show.

He did f**ked up his career for good with all that new age stuff, though.

Big Hidria fan here as well!!! Am I the only one who absolutely adored Symetria? Seems to be a somewhat overlooked album |

Hi,
It's easier to listen our music than trying to explain it. This is our latest album, only couple weeks old.
You might need to listen couply times to get it... ;)
BOM!
