Even a year has not passed since the time when we found the first album of "Izzet" – and here you are – there’s the second one. As earlier, outwardly it looks like reggae, but inwardly - quite on the contrary. The explanation is that this album mostly contains not authors’, but folk songs – by the way, some of them were composed nearly 90 years ago! In that way we have an album of Tatar folklore arranged in the style of Jamaica folklore. All this sounds in an organic way, which is a sure sign of plasticity of Tatar language. For example, reggae would sound quite ridiculous in German – I am not going to offend anybody, but it is evident. Still, there’s another very important issue. What kind of reggae has everybody got used to? Everybody has got used to a light, relaxed and a bit superficial reggae. And here we feel a concealed resiliency, anxiety, inner force and melancholy. Besides, Eastern tunes attach very interesting nuances to this music. I think that all these things appear only due to the fact that all these songs are folk ones. Some kind of surprising and low-key expression is peculiar to them. But outwardly everything is quiet and light, because it is reggae. And it means that listening to this album somebody will have a good rest, while somebody will reflect on something. It is good.

...all songs of the album were restored – because their recording took place as long ago as in 1995-98. Such a rarity debut. However, fortunately, rarity is not its only virtue. Having listened to the disc one realizes that Ukraine is not as distant from Jamaica as they tell us at school and in the news. At least, some of our clouds do have similar form...

In the sphere of music, the group has developed and deepened the stylistics set with the album "There Is Hope" – thus, drive has became a bit less hard, but in some respect even more powerful, plastic. But there is also another aspect.Vadym Krasnooky becomes – forgive my loose definition – a lyrically-cheerful philosopher, and this does impress.

If first Mad Heads were among the brightest stars of psychobilly in the world, now Mad Heads XL are real stars of the new Ukrainian rock format. And historically it happens so that fans of Mad Heads and those of Mad Heads XL somehow intersect quite rarely. So, maybe it is worth trying?

The group has deviated from its rockabilly image and offered its listeners melodious and vigorous rock. However, the group’s rock'n'roll alive spirit, as well as its power and dynamics, are preserved on this disс.

Rockabilly clothes have obviously become too small for them, that’s why now different trends like rock’n’roll, folk, punk, reggae and even a bit of swing have got mixed in this music. But the main thing is a powerful, like spring, and positive power.

Pieces of fabric, languages, styles and trends, manners of performance, words. Pieces of fabric, different by form, size, colour, content and the way of processing – all of them are laced with one thread, in which two voices and one guitar are skilfully interlaced.

There exists the word “reggae”. This is a musical style. Philosophy. Religion. The way of living. Myth. Fairy-tale. Reality. Really unreal reality. Rest. Inner work. So much inner that it even looks as if they were a continuous rest...

...the album at once creates elated, festive mood – but in a surprising way. In the correct way. Because, although about a half of the compositions can hardly be called merry ones – a smile is very expressly felt in them. Somewhere dim, somewhere transparent, somewhere dreamy, somewhere thoughtful – but it is present in each piece, and it warms.

"Red Cardell" wished to create an album open for the whole world. As a result, French chanson was mixed with African rhythms, Ukrainian authentic singing – with Oriental, Asian melodies, Celtic archaic – with elements of trip- and hip-hop. And all this together laughs, dances, gets a bit sad, makes love...

...if we could hear what we say – probably, we would keep silent. But – we do speak. And what is then left for our words but for the echo of our pace? What is then left for our eyes but for memory? And who are we then if not prophets? – for we walk in a circle, that is why we as though know everything in advance...

Their music is the mixture of everything that gets into your hands and is reinforced by a powerful and skilful spiritual section. You can find practically everything here, starting with grunge and ending with raggy, and all that is fully stuffed with Byelorussian outlook and sense of humour...

...when music is saturated with folklore motives so much, and at that not only with Moldavian ones, the language of performance becomes not so important – in such a case you only listen to music. You listen to music, which does not have even a hint at pop-variety art, as it is a real folk-rock...

As for this album, one may say that this is a romance plus la chanson (in its French meaning, including the language of performance as well). This is the collection of songs which were and are loved if not in the whole world, then in many houses of the world. Being arranged by Skrypka himself, these songs get new and a bit unusual, if not interesting, sounding.

Second Breath is a Kyiv group that has been playing blues for 40 (!) years already. It is quite possible that this is the oldest active blues band not only in Kyiv, but also all through Ukraine. Or, maybe, through considerably wider territories – who know...

Після кількох прослуховувань почав підспівувати. Шкода, що на бонус-треки не дали тексти пісень. Утім, зрозумів майже все. Рекомендую для початкового ознайомлення з культурою кримськотатарського народу, з яким ми маємо честь жити в одній державі.

Excellent! Very very nice! Strong tatar hints along on a well-done reggae basis. Krym-tatarian music claims her place in the modern, international map very successfully. Highly recommended!

Как-то в далёкие бровасто-застойные времена на моём проигрывателе оказалась пластинка с неведомой мне доселе музыкой. Расслабленный мужской голос под качающиеся ритмы пел, что-то про плачущих женщин. Забавно и необычно, но меня тогда влекли другие мелодии, другие ритмы. И вот, через лет этак 30, в моём проигрывателе зазвучал CD «Reggalia» Иззэта Аблязова. Вроде те же ритмы, вроде те же созвучия, но …полный восторг!
В различных учебных заведениях я изучал закон развития «по спирали». Ничего не помню, кроме красивого названия. Недавно знакомый мудрец-эзотерист долго объяснял его, даже что-то чертил. Ничего не понял. Да, и за чем? Когда дело касается такой замечательной музыки. Слушай и получай удовольствие!

"reggae would sound quite ridiculous in German"... Well, my friend, not quite correct! When Berlin based multi-lingual dancehall caballeros 'Seed' formed in the late 90s they were a laughing stock. Then again, at last year's Glastonbury festival they drew a crowd of 10,000! Not bad, eh?

2Alexander. От в мене ржачка - Alexander пише іноземною на українському сайті. Чи може ти українською не вмієш? І мабуть тому, що москаль?
Що до Izzeta, то по-перше не "Tatar Reggae", а "Crimeatatar Reggae" , а по-друге, коли в Московії ведмідів по вугіллях танцювати примушували в Бахчісарає Мольера ставили.
