Here's a personal compilation of ultra-hip vocalese-jazz recordings by Estonian group Collage culled from their impossible-to-find Russian Melodiya albums from the seventies. Legendary stuff this, impossible to adequately put into words and incomparable in form & delivery to anything I can immediately think of. Try Estonian Novi Singers & you'll have some idea!This seven-piece consists of three female vocalists who sound like angels and four male musicians. Together they perform an incredible combination of jazzy, classical folk tunes and whilst many of the songs have an ethereal hymnal quality, they all come together to forge a timeless and irresistable groove!
Absolutely essential...

8) Ehted Kadunud
9) Kodukingu Kuusik

Hi,
I'd love to hear it, but it says the file is not found..??
It's absolutely there...
What a pleasant surprise! Was expecting a Swingle Singer type sound, but certainly isn't.
Appreciate the share, nice one indeed! Cheers from the US!
Help! I am pasting the URL into a new window (http://rapidshare.de/files/20011022/Quimsy_s_Collage_Melodiya_Vol._I__1970s_.zip) but I am still getting the file not found message. What am I doing wrong?
The link is up and working - perhaps u are being restricted in some way.
It happend to me also. I got a file not found message from rapidshare.
beats me!! Others are downloading it.
Update: The 4th or 5th time I tried the link I got through, so keep trying if you get a not found message! I am now digging the buttery sound of Collage... Quimsy, thank you for this and your fine posts!
Downloading worked fine here, and WOW what a great group. Where can I find some more info about their records?
great stuff - thanks for this!
My new favorite...it's like Guillaume de Machaut set over loungey jazz. It really must be heard to be believed, and frankly, after hearing it, I still don't believe it!
hi jeremy
not altogether inaccurate - glad u like it.
Thanks a lot great record!
great, really refreshing for the ears. better than novi singers i have to say, thanks a lot.
calle

Hi Gary - the 2 tracks were fine. Much appreciated
Take care.
By chance I have that "Collage" LP posted above and altho' nice is the U.S. band from the same era (1971) on Golden Crest Records CRS-31023 - and not the Estonian group.
Cheers
thx for the thought - u'r a gentleman!
The way you described it make it sounds very yummi. That's my favorite kind of music. Your posts in general demonstrate your very good musical taste. Keep going!
