4.5 superbSlavaleopard | December 13th 06

The original British/Ukrainian indie folk band created sixteen years ago had a few albums under their belts and then along came the idea to take possibly the best tunes form all these albums and make it into one hell of a super album.
Telstar originally a hit for the Tornadoes in 1963 has been given an eatern sounding make over with wonderful results.
Durak's lyrics (translated) need say no more for the song. I'm not a madman, I just drink too much vodka!The general idea is that this chirpy tune will have you raised on your feet in no time, stoming round the room like a fired up cossack.
Vorony was the debut on their album 'vorony' which came to be known as one of their best lved albums. It's about crows and has a bit of suspense hidden in it.
UkrainAmerica is the most poppish song on this album and probably the one with the most recognisable words, such as

Bump
