Free Music Review: Varttina Just Plain ROCKS!!!
Hit: 5 Stars
Now, there are those who boldly suggest that Vasen is THE premier Scandinavien Folk Band. I don't happen to think so. Hedningarna had its day. Tra was the only CD worth its salt that ever came from them, but after the ladies left, NOTHING. HOWEVER, when it comes to Varttina, they have consistantly, cosistantly, CONSISTANTLY, turned out some of the best Scandianvien music I have ever heard. The Vihma CD is simply Varttina's best of the best. Don't get me wrong, Kokko is good, too. Ilmatar is equally as good. However, Vihma is a cut above the rest and comes highly reccomended. Vasen? Hedningarna? Varttina is THE premier voice coming from the Land of the North.
Vihma Poster
V?rttin?'s latest outing finds them in the schizophrenic position that many quirky pop bands face. Half the tunes here sport rhythm tracks clearly aimed at getting a bit of mainstream radio airplay--a dance club remix of the title song is even included. At the same time, the band's traditional side has never been stronger--"Uskottu ei Uupuvani" and "Mieleni Alenevi" feature the band's trademark Finno-Ugric harmonies with minimal accompaniment, and have a chilling emotional power. Since the band rose to fame on the quirky quality of their traditional music, the hip-hop influenced beats--which often sound as if they were tacked on to the arrangements at the last moment--seem ill-advised. --j. poetAlternative Rock Music CDs
