Гуси-Лебеди / GEESE AND SWANS

My only other album by this Russian band is from 1990(20 years earlier) called "Ethnic Experiences". A four piece back then, they are a six piece here with violin, trumpet and flute being the new flavours of sound. A lot more energy here but we also get those traditional sounding, folky excursions. This is mostly led by the acoustic guitar, piano and trumpet and is very much a hit and miss affair. We get eleven tracks worth over 53 minutes. Russian vocals once again and they are not pleasant.

If this is Russia's best Avant band then this just shows how far behind the West they still are. And yes my age and world view mean I'm still in the cold war as far as this nation goes. I respect VESPERO though, and their musical legacy. So this is quite different from their earlier album "Ethnic Experiences" but not any better.
