Quirky folk/singer-songwriter music from Estonian brothers with a genuine DIY attitude, personable, causal production (think early Incredible Sting band?) and a general spirit of pleasure and fun first.

The musicians say:
These songs are from the years of 1980 - 1990 roughly. Estonia regaining its independence, first travels abroad, friends … Much in these songs are from the thoughts deeds, stories, dreams and lives of others, far or close … Recorded in February 1993, at Kullamäe, on the north coast of Estonia, in the red house close to the shore. Estonian wildlife sounds added from the recordings of Fred Jüssi.

See lugu-rida on pärit valgustest, algustest, tuultest ja häältest, kokku-, lahkusaamistest, kohkumistest ja rõõmusööstudest 1980-90 +/-. Eesti avanemine, vabanemine… Esimesed reisimised maailma peal, sõprade leidmine kaugetel maadel… Palju neis lugudes on pärit meie ümbert, kellegi kauge või lähedase mõtetest, tegemistest, juttudest, unedest, eludest…Salvestus ja mix: Ants Johanson ja Jaan Tamm, veebruaris 1993, Kullamäel, punases majas mere ääres. Lisatud on Fred Jüssi loodussalvestusi.

Most CDs have been imported from Europe or Asia. They are not all shrink-wrapped, and I am not going to con you by wrapping them here just to make you think they have been sterilized in America. We guarantee that the CDs and the contents are all brand new and in perfect condition. Whenever I can, I use recycled shipping materials. They may not look as pretty on the outside, but they save money and keep the trash dumps a little bit emptier.
