Free Music Notes for Iki AlbumFree Music Review: A rare aural treat. Hit: 5 StarsIki is a testament to the sheer depth of Värttinä's creative talent. A gorgeous aural portrait of raw emotion, the CD begins and ends dark, with a whole spectrum of other moods in between, including bitterness, disdain, tenderness, and sorrow, plus a good measure of the group's trademark sarcastic humor weaved throughout. Reflecting these emotions perfectly, the stentorian voices of the female trio intertwine in glorious harmony that can chill you to the bone (Syyllinen Syli) or shine like the sun (Nahkaruoska). Meanwhile, the forceful poetry of the lyrics shatters the language barrier, proving enjoyable even if you don't know Finnish. In most of the songs, the singers are backed by an excellent troupe of traditional musicians playing the kantele, guitar, string bass, fiddle, and various drums and other instruments. However, there are also a few stunning a capella tracks (my favorite being Potran Korean). Regardless, all of the songs are enjoyable, making the CD good to listen all the way through at once. Since I got the album in the mail today, I've listened to it three times through and still haven't gotten tired of it. Värttinä's Iki stands out as a masterpiece to be enjoyed by fans of world music and those looking for something a little different. My only regret is that there are not more groups out there like this one!
