The new Kismet's album titled North-Atlantic-Balcan-Express
balances between traditional and modern music , between
20'th and 21'th century. This is the album which closes the
trilogy : Damjans War - Wake Up Gods - North Atlantic
Balcan Express. There are 2 covers , one is Main Theme
from the soundtrack of the movie "More" by Pink Floyd and
the second is Joy Division's classic Love will tear us apart
which was also released on the album Damjans War back
in 1995. Like in the previous Kismet's albums , so in this one
the modern music and the traditional Macedonian music
become one. It can be felt by listening to the songs like
Red Zurla , Zid or Love will tear us apart. The album
begins with trip-hop song titled General Black and ends
with instrumental Tenk. In some of the songs there are
samples with poetry read by American poet Steven Teref.
There are also energy songs like Weaving or War , and
songs with very dark atmosphere like Stolen Wall or
Church. With one word , the album is great !
