"North-East" - "Open Beach"

It is impossible not to the people who year after year playing the music that they like to be respected. Play professional, efficient, not paying attention to the format and style. This is the leader of the "Nord-Ost" guitarist Sergey Sedykh. Was in front of his band called "In Folio", connection played instrumental hard rock and art rock. Has earned respect in the narrow circles of fans retrozhanrov, but the public was not interested and not needed. The "North-East" began when. The music for the people, not only for themselves Specifically, as the first impulse in this direction - Russian song, ethnic dominance. "North-East" - "Open Beach" debut album "Down the River" was announced (2006) for the song "In the heart of the continent," says corporate unit reached vocals and lead guitar a level of convenience, suitable for a turn on "Nashe radio." During these years, "North-East" finally etnokompanii "Mills" and used "Turn of the Century." The new album is still ethnic than the first. Sergei Grizzly wrote the music and most of the texts. Songs but the bare minimum. The album of the 16 hours of continuous sound tracks, only seven of the human voice. The rest - sad instrumental compositions, almost without melody and sparkling virtuosity. Abundant use of Irish and Scottish music tradition with a classic rock sound combined. It is strange that the experienced Grizzly do not understand many years that each group is held on a bright charismatic vocals. His songs sing quite interesting - they were written for guitar, not to vote. The lyrics are not shine with originality (really very disturbing from the total number of the poems of Robert Burns, "You left me, Jamie" in the classic translation Marshak, but that Burns and Marshak not even in the brochure). It is no coincidence in the group and then change the singer - band leader is no significant role for this Experience Havtan or "Aria" "tool." - A phrase gray. A singer sang on the first album, "North-East", another record this album, and sung at the presentation of the third. Deposits of high-tech, but very boring songs found two pearls. Meditation "When will the winter" with acute progressive solos, cut the soft lyrical singing Sasha Davydovskaya and go on the baroque lute sound. And the ballad "From Heaven to Heaven", in two versions, presented including singing Helavisa. Two bright songs on the album - not too little. If the "Nord-Ost" is at the same pace and move, then ten years later, he gets creative songs on the first-class concert. And the technique of playing with musicians and now things are great.
