Free Music Notes for Back Tuva Future
Free Music Review: A decent recording
Hit: 4 Stars
I love the sound of Tuvan singing but for me this cd is very listenable at the store but I doubt if i'd buy it. Anyone who likes unique styles of singing should check out the swedish artist Wimme.Free Music Review: Good Artist, Lousy Recording
Hit: 3 Stars
I was really disappointed by this disk. I wanted to hear Ondar's voice, but what we have here is poorly recorded instrumentals with a singer somewhere in the background. Requires a real boost to the mid-range to get his voice to come out. I'm particularly disappointed, since both the Late Night with David Letterman Show and Millenium captured Ondar's voice very nicely. Especially Millenium - they placed Ondar in a mock-up monastery with very interesting echoes. The recording engineer here should really get some instruction.On the brighter side, this is one amazing throat singer! At one point, Ondar produces three notes at once. One does not get to hear that in everyday life.
The producer has made an attempt at popular appeal by having Willie Nelson and a few others contribute to this recording. I personally think they could have saved the money - Willie's voice makes for nice vocals, but as a speaking voice, I don't think so.
Free Music Review: Too melodramatic, Voice over powered by instrumentation
Hit: 1 Stars
I found Back Tuva Future to be melodramatic and awkward. I love the Tuvan Throat singers, including the experimental melding of their music with other cultural flavors, but was disappointed by this CD. The obvious rhythmic relation to country western music was handled with a heavy and somewhat corny hand. Ondar and his extraordinary talents were also often obscured by what sounded like movie track music. I can only assume that he has either fallen in with producers who have no empathy for the possibilities of Tuvan throat singing or he himself cannot differentiate between good innovative western music and bad.Im afraid there is no comparison to the musical quality of the Tuvan Singers, Huun Huur Tu, both in the direct traditional songs as well as the experimental mixes of ethnic rhythms and melodies. Perhaps Ondars next attempt will offer either a clearer vision or a less intrusive instrumentation.
Free Music Review: no, no, please noooo!
Hit: 1 Stars
I can not believe the reviews on this item. There must be a lot of people who like country and western music. I really love Tuvan throat singing but i don't like country and western. This compilation was like a horrible nightmare and the destruction of all that is good about Tuva. They even have dance tunes which are so out of date they should have stuck to traditional music after all. The thought that people will buy this and think they have heard Tuvan throat singing makes me want to cry. Although it did put a smile on my face as i laughed in disbelief. I only hope that it does lead it's listeners to buying the real thing.A good introduction would be 'Shu-De Voices from a distant past' or 'Tuva: Voices from the centre of Asia' but not this - please anything but listen to this cd again!!!! Please don't make me..I'll be good!
Free Music Review: I did not like it.

I can't believe what is on the music market anymore. This sounds like something that elementary boys would do to get attention drawn to themselves.
