Kate Bush lovers must!.......2004-03-14

Musta is an excellent collection of traditional folk crossed with modern arrangements and vocalizations. I am not familiar with the band Hedningarna so I do not have a preconceived expectation of how this "should" sound. I DO think it is original and gusty. I have found that its avant-garde nature has grown on me and I come back to the record often.

I mention Kate Bush in the title bar because the singer reminds me of when I first heard K Bush and my initial impressions of her. She had an infectious shrieking ness to her voice that I found very appealing. The album Musta, had a similar effect on me. Excellent spin!

very likeable, wonderful work, I listen to it a lot.......2003-04-22

Sanna, former Finnish female vocalist for Hedningarna, has done great work with this album. It is profoundly emotional, very uplifting, & funky. I don't think that the term "industrial" should apply to music like this, goven the original music the term was first applied to, but she does use a lot of electronic equipment & it is noteworthy music. Of the millions of artists in the world...notably noteworthy...

Interesting Fusion Between Tradition and Modern Music.......2000-08-12

When people have heard about Finnish music, then it is mainly Varttina; there are however many other sides to Finnish music. Sanna is just one example of the rich musical tradition of the Finnish people. She manages to combine tradition with a distinctively modern sound, without becoming too tacky. Her voice is very suited for the choice of the songs on this album. You still get some very "traditional" pieces, like the slow "Vaskilintu" (The Bronze Bird), and "ambient" songs like "Tuulen Nostatus" (Raising the Wind) and Pilven Tytto (The Cloud Maiden), but also songs with "dance" beats to them like "Manaus" and my favourite "Ei Musta" (Not a Dark One). All in all a very rounded effort which manages to offer variety to prevent you, the listener, from being bored.

Solo?.......2000-04-17

Musta has some good tracks on it but the instrumental in this album is a bit lacking relying on the vocals to much. If you want to hear Sanna Kurki-Suonio at her best go get a Hedningarna album.

Excellent blend of folk and modern music.......1999-02-23

Wonderful blend going from the traditional and voice centered folk songs to the dance-club beat of "Exercation". Her lyrics are refreshingly thought out - sometimes pensive, sometimes joyful. She has a mature voice which she wields comfortably. I highly recommend it.
