If I am not mistaken, Luis Armstrong has told, that he could sing even the phone book. "The Dead Cock" has expressed in the same way after record of this album. And you know what? They really could. Nevertheless, it is good that they didn't.

On the one hand, breathing of the overcrowded hall, live communication, the impression of closeness. And on the other – even here, at the distance of a stretched arm, Mertvy Piven somehow managed to keep the atmosphere characteristic of them... transparent alienation, maybe. They seem to be here – but obviously somewhere else as well. Woven from sun and fog...

...This time we can see appearance of something that, it seems, has never before happened in the space of modern Ukrainian music. It is difficult and even virtually impossible to call "Criminal Sonnets" a reaction to such phenomenon as modern Russian chanson (or simpler – the rogue song). It is not just more elevated, it is – even better – different. Refined and simple, grotesque and life-like at the same time...

"Made in YuA" is not just a dedication to UA, although it is here that Yury Andruhovych acted not only as the author of the lyrics, but also as a full-fledged participating performer. "Made in YuA" is poignant texts with the genetic spirals of subtexts, delicate – excuse my tautology – rock melodiousness with burlesque and grotesques masks, with the already branded atmosphere of transparent dusk..

And this disc is like a letter, which gives notice that it will come soon. And it gives this notice exactly in a proper way, since New Year holidays are always light, agreeable, domestic and warm. Made with warmth in the heart - and that's why it gives out warmth.

Each group here is a bright personality, expressive manner. I will not even single anyone out – in my opinion, each of them is worth our attention. Absolutely different, and differently talented – as it should be. And it is a sure fact that each will find a grateful listener.

It would be possible to say that not the only but one of important characteristics of this collection is a special culture within – such that results in writing ambiguous texts. Such that results in searching for not quite trodden roads in creation of music. It is not a grand total, because there are exception here as well..

...a half of the groups represented here do not yet have officially released albums. Accordingly, "Evshanzillya" automatically becomes virtually the first licensed release of their songs. The second half of the groups already have albums released, and some of them more than one – but you will find here a few songs that are only planned for releasing in the next collections by these collectives.

...the audio and video versions of the final gala concert were released by different recording houses. Possibly, it is for this reason that the content of the audio and video versions differ rather substantially from each other. However, for a music fan this sort of differences, sure, present a great benefit – since they make the general picture considerably more voluminous, complete.

I will not thoroughly describe the recording for you – because I consider it pure beauty. It will show you everything itself – about tenderness, melancholy, and an insight, and the indescribable silence of words pronounced – and it will condemn none. Let it be so.

..this disc is a collection of songs based on Zhadan's poems performed by various Ukrainian groups. "Various" is the key word here, because stylistically the songs represented here differ considerably. There is "Luk" with cosmo-disco, and folk rock by "Vertep", folk-chanson by "Kalektsiya", ethno-lounge by "Ojra", and so on – the mosaics appear surprisingly interesting and bright.

In 2010, following the tradition now, "Yevshanzillya" (already for the fourth year in succession) has become the first rock collection in the New Year. And, again as usual, the main focus is not on pop-rock and heavy alternative – as it happens in the majority of rock collections – but on a wide range of every other rock music.

Actually, look closer at the table of content: the foundation of the disc consists of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army's songs and modern songs devoted to the theme of people's liberation fight. And in a certain sense this is actual even today... At least, in the sphere of culture there still is, so to speak, competition – and collections of this kind will definitely not be superfluous.
