Free Music Notes for Oi Dai
Free Music Review: perhaps their best
Hit: 5 Stars
This is definitely my favorite Varttina album of the ones I've heard (in order of decreasing preference: Oi Dai, Vihma, Seleniko, Kokko, with the last one being the only I wouldn't unhesitatingly shell out my cash for). Oi Dai has some of the fastest, tightest harmonies (on average), and also happens to be the most 'native' sounding. I tend towards interesting new sounds, so I like their more electronic fusions like Vihma, and the traditional harmonic/dissonant sounds from Oi Dai, but am least inspired by their blends of traditional with less-remarkable-sounding pop (as on Kokko). That said, all these albums are very enjoyable.
Oi Dai Poster
Oi Dai is the album that catapulted V?rttin? to international fame, a meaty, beaty, big, and bouncy collection of Finnish folk tunes driven by the polyphonic Finno-Ugric harmonies of the female singers and the sprightly, acoustic picking of their backing band. The album kicks in with Marilaulu, a sprightly hoe-down driven by an effervescent pennywhistle, thumping bassline, and the charming, slightly dissonant vocals of the band's five frontwomen. If the Bulgarian Women's Choir was backed by Bill Monroe's Bluegrass Boys, they might sound something like V?rttin?. Several tunes here are based on bawdy folk tunes, which may partly explain the album's staggering popularity--within weeks of its release it became the biggest selling folk music album in the history of the Finnish music business. --j. poetAlternative Rock Music CDs
