Best * Live 2001

No studio recording can compare to the experience of a HUUN-HUUR-TU concert - as countless visitors from all over the world would verify who have experienced one or more of their concerts. Therefore the idea for a live recording has been in the air for quite a while. Various concerts were recorded but none met the artists' expectations until finally in April 2001 everything came together - a place where the musicians felt at home, where they played and sang with just the right inspiriation, with one of Moscow's best recording engineers and ... spring in the air. The right time for a band that is able to electrify its listeners like no other. Available from JARO, Germany. Click on the cover to get the order form.
