Eduard Drach issued his previous album, if we are not mistaken, almost 10 years ago – in 2002. Well, during this time not that many things have changed in the world – at least, if we consider the essence, not external events. So, for a person prone to thinking, material for reflecting on is provided on the daily basis – without failure... Well, as the first recognition was brought to Drach as long ago as in 1989 by the ability to reflect, notice details and draw generalized conclusions embodied in his songs – it is no surprise that over this time quite a lot of new songs have been accumulated (only in this disc – there are more than 20 of them). And here I would have mentioned that Drach is a multi-instrumental performer: he plays the kobza, lyre, bandura, gusli, guitar, piano, violin, mandolin, banjo, etc. But – no. As well as in the previous album, he makes an attempt here – a skilled attempt – to continue and develop the kobza-lyre tradition. Thus, the main instrument in the album is the kobza... Accordingly, the songs' lyrics in their form tend not so much to the bard tradition, but to the kobza one. However, considering their essence, these two traditions can be referred to as sisters. For the case is a certain philosophical and meditative, but also very emotional, way of outlook, isn't it? Whatever it might be, in the new album by Eduard Drach one can hear not only purely Ukrainian instruments – but also poignant words about everything that happens around us. And, unfortunately, it does not seem that relevance of these observations will soon become obsolete...

...his songs are worth attentive listening. Not because, actually, they are complicated – but because they are accurate and transparent. Honest. With the songs, when listening to them, one sometimes thinks: everything will pass, both rock, and pop, and the rest. The only thing that ever stays is simple songs with guitar accompaniment.

On the one hand, it is one of the easiest genres: the guitar, singing, and nothing else. Seemingly. Well, and on the other – it is one of the most difficult genres: the guitar, singing – everything is so transparent that any false piece turns fatal. Because the key method of impacting the audience here is honesty, sincerity...

...if the inner world of a person is multidimensional – it is possible to wander in these dimensions infinitely, and about each of them it is possible to tell some story. Volodymyr Shynkaruk seems to have in store an infinite number of such histories – and he knows how to tell them honestly, deeply, interestingly. So that at a certain instant his stories become – your own.

This seems to be that very bardic song, although in the sounding there is now more transparent, delicate sense, which is conveyed not with words, but exactly with music. But at the same time, the word has not become less significant. As it should be when the issue is intelligent, thought over, internally experienced texts, not just rhymed lines of certain meters.

For him, it obviously hurts, because the attempts to choose from two misfortunes the one that seems smaller are doomed. Because misfortune of any size remains misfortune... This album will hardly make politicians blush – otherwise, they will not be politicians. But, possibly, it will help to reflect on that to all the rest – to us. This is important – always.

Valeriy Marenych – is one of those singers, who gain their audience due to persistent work rather than due to talent. Meaning that we talk here neither about the great amount of video, nor about bombastic PR campaign. No, it’s not what we mean. Only concerts, again and again – what is, actually, a natural way of musician’s development.

This is a quiet breath of the person which already has gone through own death. Not philosophy which come from mind, but the love which is more than heart and is higher than a pain.

A gentle guitar and a warm voice sound – they sound nice. Beautiful verses sound – and it turns out that by now there has existed a common air for all who are able not only to take in the warmth, but also to give it.
