Artists

Album Info

Release Date: 1998

Label: Elwood Muusik

This recording is a reunion of past and present members of the Ultima Thule rock group. Tõnis Mägi and Aare Põder, who were present on the 1st LP recording from 1988, and left the group in the interim, return for this recording. Two of the string quartet players from the 1988 recording make a reappearance as well. Tüür's string arrangements are present on every track and the songs are a selection from over the group's 10 year history. The selections represent the softer side of the group and the performances are of the unplugged variety. In many cases, the string parts repeat the lines played by electric guitars in the original performances/recordings.
