POLITIKA, 6/10/2003, from reviewal of CD "On the East of the West"
As the title says, this album uncovers the beauty and secrets of the music from the East side, on the West side way. Author is dedicated to melodies, they are dominant in all arrangments, offered in new "package" - the most close to the ethno-pop style. Author's virtuosity on electric guitar, (crystal sound as Hank Marvin) is completely expresed. Also, author is expressed as talented keyboard player and percussionist. Sound of this album is pleasant, nice for every ear, traditional melodies also can be listened as background music.
