Comment: the title of this
35-minute long issue hints at different subjects. Before anything else, it is
related to such a musical event as Tallinn Music Week which main goal is to promote
Estonian independent artists to invited foreign music promoters and other music
business related people. However, the event consists of different compartments
and sections where is a place for the artists outside Estonia either (mainly
for the artists of Lihuania, and Latvia). FatCat is a well-known record label
from UK and Õunaviks is an imprint for home recording artists in Estonia. This
sampler will constitute a cohesive whole of folk tinged compositions. Some
tracks are infused with more electronic fabrics, some are more traditional or
world music oriented. Cirkl`s piece Malmö
is a doo wop fuelled electronic masterpiece, Mirjam Tally`s composition Intro - Main Theme From Ülo Pikkov's Film
Body Memory binds together post-classical compositional rationales with
folksy whiffs. The most pre-eminent artist on it is Vashti Bunyan whose Across The Water is a wondrous trip
through the eras and across the mystical plateaus. Additionally, there are represented
such artists as Kago, C Duncan, Maarja Nuut, Mari Kalkun, and Spice Mouse.
