Review

Entertainment Weekly (12/16/94, p.70) - "...a rich, piercingly evocative musical universe..." - Rating: A
Option (3-4/95, p.109) - "...What sounds at first like a mixture of nasal singing and naive musical talent becomes a variety of subtle shifts in tone and color, worth dwelling on."

Title Note

Huun-Huur-Tu: Kaigal-Ool Khovalyg (vocals, igil, jew's harp, doshpulur, khoomei, kargyraa), Anatoli Kuular (vocals, bizaanchi, jew's harp, doshpulur, igil, ediski), Sayan Bapa (vocals, doshpulur, marinhuur, guitar), Alexander Bapa (tungur, dazhaanning khavy, amarga, vocals, bells).

Additional personnel: Mergen Mongush (vocals).

Engineers: David Wonsey (tracks 1-6, 8, 9, 11-16); Gennady Papin (tracks 7, 10).

Recorded at Quad Recording Studios, New York and MosFilm Studios, Moscow, Russia. Includes liner notes by Ted Levin.

To accompany their Tuvan "throat singing," the members of Huun-Huur Tu use a combination of traditional Tuvan instruments and their own embellishments. Among them are the dazhaanning khavy, a rattle made from a bull scrotum and sheep kneebones; the amarga, a deer horn; and the ediski, a piece of birch bark pressed between the lips to imitate bird calls.
