MUGUR DE FLUIER

Lasa, Lasa part 1,2,... are between the songs, they give quite an original feature for the whole album. Strunga is quite a hit, complex and intriguing. Mica Tiganiada and Ochi negri Ochi de Tigan are 2 songs about Gypsies life and customs. Upbeat and engaging, they shine. Anule, hanule and Dansul Codrilor are two songs of deep athmosphere, maybe the closest prog rock on this album. Andrii Popa is a balad with pop trends and it was very popular in 70's among the youngsters. Mugur de Fluier is a nice song with close Jethro Tull influence. Muzica si Muzichie has an interesting tempo, very hard to follow and execute. I cannot understand why this album took just 3.5 stars so far, but believe me, it is much better than that rating. I will give it 5 stars, as it really has masterpiece moments. This album builds up from Cei ce ne-au dat nume to Cantafabule, being part of the best 3 Phoenix albums, so far. Highly and enthusiasctically recommended !
