Mad Heads XL. Forever. // www.UMKA.com.ua

Mad Heads XL have finally come back with a new work, one would like to say – forever, because it is good indeed. Two axes are obviously traced in the album, and it is not easy to say which of them is more important. 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. The already characteristic guitar base supported by a strong wind section – performed by Mad Heads XL, it sounds strong. But there is also another aspect. You should necessarily listen to the texts – however, it is all the same difficult not to notice them. Vadym Krasnooky becomes – forgive my loose definition – a lyrically-cheerful philosopher, and this does impress. In his texts, questions and problems arise that just must arise to a person who does not wish to live thoughtlessly. But if this sort of things are usually accompanied by various photogenic poses with a frowned brow, here – joy and love, search for harmony live inside. There is no fear – and for that reason the eternal questions about the sense of life can still get a deserved answer... In the polygraph to the CD, it is said: "...The mad dance of oppositions creates our world. The white and black in each of us..." Everything is simple – everything is honest. Only the one who does not hide can search and discover.

Flyzzza is a very bright example of that people do not change, they just become deeper, wider, more precisely tuned. And if your true nature is being positive – in the course of time, there becomes only more of it. Anyway, Flyzzza manages to not just go in this direction – to literally fly, touching the ground only with smile-heel...

The VYO. Ganja. /digi-pack/

...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...

Mad Heads, Mad Heads XL. Najkrascha myt'. Best Hits and Ballads. (The Best Instant.)

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?

Izzet. My Security.

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...
