«Revenko band" - "DDT". Review Guru Ken

Create instrumental versions of the best songs of "DDT" - a task that comes before anyone's mind. Not because the band "DDT" - as virtuosos, so they can not be beat. CD. Navigator Records, 2008. Although, admittedly, the technical level of recordings and live performances, "DDT" increased in recent years, some incredible heights. It's just different. Shevchuk is good songs Shevchuk. His assertiveness, charisma, vibrant thoughts. Verbal rob song "DDT" is not easy, but "Revenko Band» solved. «Revenko band" - "DDT" Team guitarist Alexei Revenko little known even in his native Ukraine. For a while he was singing bard, white, played what rock bands. And in 2003, released his first album of instrumental music in the spirit of early music. At the Kiev studio where ever written "DDT", he met with his Ukrainian Shevchuk and alter ego "The Brothers Karamazov", which is the idea of creating a neo-classical instrumental arrangements of hits like "DDT" is . The release includes the loudest songs - "Revolution," "What's the autumn", "Do not shoot" "Last Autumn", "Prosvistela" etc. cancel selection of 12 songs. In such cases, to ask two questions. How important is the spirit of the original arrangement and self-worth as the arrangement itself. About the spirit of the original, it seems, there is nothing to fear. The project was approved songwriter Yuri Shevchuk, stated how proud in the album cover and closed the press release. And that can talk about self-worth and. Shevchuk singing often replaces a violin, the flute. The songs "DDT", melodic solids dissected played with the usual rhythm. Be played as a vocal melody to each author notes, the solo party does not (reach aerobatics and failed) from humanoid, but very unhappy with the instrumental point of view. Expression of voice Yuri gone, and a new musical reality yet. Musicians could be amortized over the terms. Number can not be changed solo, then surely no one can deny, play with poliritmichnostyu with sophistication guitar, violin and cello with powerful passages. Oh! Whether the technique of the participants' Revenko band "very closely, or the dictates of the arranger Revenko neplodotvoren frightening - but did not bring fresh musical ideas project. As background orchestration version Revenko band of course have the right to life. But show a lack of drive, decent instrumental equipment for musicians and narrow imagination. Rating: 5 out of 10.
