Ano: 1998 (1977)
Gênero: Progressive Rock
Gênero: Progressive Rock
País: Estônia
Comentário: Pérola formada em Tallinn, capital da Estônia e na época URSS, por ex-membros de várias bandas locais como Ruja, Mess e Väntorel. Sem poder tocar na legalidade, o grupo durou apenas um ano, sem lançar nada oficial e se apresentando uma única vez, na cidade natal, em 1977. Posto aqui antigas gravações em rádios locais ou ao vivo que saíram informalmente (CD-R) nos anos 90.
O som da banda é fortemente influenciado pelo rock progressivo, especialmente Yes e Genesis (como dito posteriormente pelos próprios membros), variando entre momentos mais experimentais e viajantes e outros melódicos, sendo o instrumental bem desenvolvido e até complexo, sem presença de guitarra, mas dois tecladistas e de fagote (sopro). O vocal de Kadajas é também marcante, apesar de todas as letras em estoniano.
Uma bela surpresa para fãs de progressivo e rock do leste europeu.
In 1976, a progressive "supergroup" was formed – Noor Eesti (Young Estonia). During the gigging days of Meie, Kadajas met and the then-keyboardist and leader of the band Ruja, Rein Rannap. When Rannap left Ruja out of musical disputes, the seeds of a new band was sowed. Being "sick" of guitars, Rannap put together a unique band with no guitarist, but instead, a bassoon. However, the band gigged and recorded five of its tracks during its brief one-year run. Some of the songs by Noor Eesti were indeed quite progressive and experimental, such as the complex "Sünd" (Birth) and the piano-driven "Lendav järv" (The Flying Lake) - both progressive rock classics. "Edasijõudnud inimene" (Advanced Individual) was another classic with some fine keyboard leads and a crafty "lead" bass part by Tormis -- very much in the Chris Squire (Yes) school of bass playing. However, that song showed how the humble bassoon can play a major role in a rock song, a task done successfully by Riismäe. However, one of the most unique things about the Noor Eesti sound was the voice of Kadajas. Refined even more since the days of Meie, Kadajas brought out the humour, power and emotion of the band`s complex pieces. His voice is forever immortalised in the ballad "Ühes väikses Eesti linnas" (In a Little Town), a massive hit.

Hi,
ResponderExcluirThere is a great sound in the band and a really good experimental sense even if I find the voice not always appropriate. But I think I can appreciate after have listening much. Thank you please to send me the link.
