"Va-Bank" - "20 winter without electricity" (series Realive)

Release concert acoustic double album - always an important consideration for any group. Even "all-in", in the distant 1991, his first Unplugged "In the kitchen", you have to answer, and for the quality of the extracted music (acoustic insidious gives every stain), and music for the mind as a whole. After replacing keyboards galore, on the last electric album, we must wisely., I must say that the "Va-Bank" has done almost everything for success. Concert March 3, 2006 at the Gorky Moscow Art Sklar invited a constellation of musicians -.. Constantine Kincheva, Garik Sukachev Gleb Samoilov, Rushan Ayupova ("untouchables") Somehow, all cut at different stages of career Sklyar at work Kinchev sang in "Die Fledermaus", plays Gleb Samoilov in Schedules "Farewell Dinner Raquel Meller 'Song Vertinsky Ayupov in a solo program Sklar, Sukachev operates fixed at all wedded to remember the joint project" boatswain and the Tramp. "Invited session musicians playing wind and perkashenah also impressive. Could not participate promised but Shahrin how regrettable. "Va-Bank" - "20 winter without electricity" (series Realive) Disc 2. Genre: Rock Style: Russian rock, blues, Russian chanson. Category: philosophy, friendship, social relationships and love. The mood of nostalgia. Poetry, the memories, the jealousy, the irony. Hits: "Vinegar", "For a black wing loons", "Eldorado", the "Black Flag". 25 songs, and nearly everyone is ready to surprise. "Provocation" sounds quite bluesy acoustics. The "kitchen" instead of "the chair and break into shit" injective vocabulary Sklar modest replaced the terrible "Ha-ha!" (And also in the brochure is written at this point: "Oh!") Vocalize lose too sung reminds strongly of the "Routes of Moscow." Execution yourself "route" along with Garik Sukachev began with a long virtuoso solo soprano saxophone A. Byalogo, and then take a direct Sukachev expansive light on the lines, and even between the lines: "Do not say, Sasha!" So imagine when listening to how warm embrace when you run these wonderful musicians. Another duet with Sukachev become bitter soul - "For the loons with black pen" inherits Russian chanson, but the sharpness of the intonation is much closer to the Russian folk cry. The acoustic album "Live Live" Date (1995) in the program "vinegar" and "Argentina". The first song is changed almost not taken with the weak performance shares shlyagernym at concerts of the "all-in" and recitals Sklar, except the baritone sax added a bit of drive and atonality. But "Argentina" instead thirst rock avant-garde in the original Latin and slow solo of a sudden "Towards a Tango" (1998) was a rock 'n' roll with ostinantnym bass. Very neat and even stylish version of "El Dorado" with a cozy clarinet can now safely be called a reference. "The players and spies" from the album of the same name last license "Va-Bank" is almost lyrical, lost a hard head, the song was a clever aria edakogo Sancho Panza. Heartful "Drunk Song" with accordionist R. Ayupov suddenly remembered experiences Makarevich with Creole Tango Orchestra. Gleb Samoilov singing "Tales" and a rare live guest "who we are". Sadness and depression of these songs do not, and the choice for the "Palestinian Tango" is more than justified. But the most important guest of the hero was still Kinchev. In "Die Fledermaus" demonic vocal leader of the "Alice" literally shakes and magnetized "scarlet saliva" with a loud "Ha-ha" a malicious guitar solo Levitin. In "Radiodyrah" votes Sklar and Kincheva literally merge. But kinchevsky anthem "Rock 'n' roll - that's us," perhaps the first time was conducted in public, was raw. Generally heard the live album a lot of professional error. Musicians come and then out of sync, the agent breaks a guitar string, not quit not merge the melody, not the singers' voices - there was no time to rehearse with the Stars. The album is recommended to educate the fans of "all-in" of compulsory acquisition, lovers rock and acoustic. Not recommended zealots Studio purity. Score: 6 out of 10.
