专辑简介

Röövel Ööbik was formed by four highly motivated, slightly eccentric Estonian individuals under Soviet rule in 1987. Röövel Ööbik, which translates as Robber Nightingale, was once a upon a time a malevolent & mythical creature from the deep dark Russian woods whose song led everybody to an agonizing death. The bands collective vibrations carried them over land and sea to perform far and wide. From Finland on to Hungary and Poland, and even to the very bastions of Western pop culture to New York in 1990 and in 1993, to London to record a legendary John Peel session for BBC Radio One. As Russia released its grip on Estonia, the world opened up, Röövel Ööbiks sound and name mutated. New influences flooded in, jazz and funk, house, and drum & bass. After all that jazz the group became known as Una Bomba, sampling & fusing rock & electronica into a sound they called nihi-listening. In 2004 the evil bird Ööbik rose, phoenix like & was reincarnated with new guitarist Sten Sheripov joining the lot. In December 2005 Röövel Ööbik released their new album Supersymmetry which has been highly acclaimed by Estonian critics. We think it deserves wider exposure, so please take a good listen! The current four individuals known as Röövel Ööbik are Tõnu Pedaru (vocals), Sten Sheripov (guitars), Allan Hmelnitski (bass), Raul Saaremets (drums, beats & pieces).
