Kalinov Bridge - "Ice Pohod"

The new album messianic folk band Kalinov Bridge gets out of the total number of publications Revyakina. It is unlikely that he would become the best-selling and most popular. First Dmitry Revyakin brought their ideas about the "white movement" early XX century, and did so in a minimally invasive intrusive way. Maybe a listener suspect even know what in fact Revyakin sings so abstract and poetic conception author. Meanwhile, the author tells the story of a particular historical moment - on the Great Siberian Ice March retreat Bolsheviks defeated the army of Admiral Kolchak in Transbaikalia. Kalinov Bridge - "Ice Pohod" These songs could sing a weary soldier, yesterday a peasant, and then refined gentleman officer, and the Cossacks have to sing something. Revyakin puts words in the mouth of all who are involved in the tragic happening and controversial events in the history of Russia. And it is clear that the author ". Demons and devils" on the "Volunteer of the White movement" against the anti- "Having served them-ye" - calls Volunteers in the face of his countrymen ("forehead"). "Just two short years, I did not see you" - the sadness of parting with the girl at the eastern edge of the guard ("Grace"). "Save souls from captivity near angels gave the order," - formulated fighter spiritual warfare ("I Do"). "Eternal Sky wait trick" - sings tired educated sailor on leave ("Eternal Sky"). Theme feat, military and religious, orthodox in belief Revyakin interpreted as meaning the life of every decent person. Even in defeat and betrayal is always a feat. This is not to boast, a feat to do just that. For themselves. Arrangements not follow Revyakina voice - sonorous kind of the soft-rock acoustic guitar sort. In the best song on the album "Sevastopol" on the events of the Crimean War, the guitar is so transparent that the tragic dramatic singing calm as ever. This is the honest answer vulgar vampuka Oleg Gazmanov "gentlemen". One could say that the "Ice Pohod" album "Weapons" inherits (1998). If the subject at all. Through the glory years of reflection Revyakin not on a much more general way and very specific reasons And the most important commandment is stated very clearly the imperative: "Do not tell!" Snobbish, but Revyakin believe. If the author was more concerned about whether he understood, and do not fall asleep while doing it, the result would have been much clearer. Score: 6 out of 10.
