Baltic Voices 3

Advantages: The moving "Estonia" and the sensational title track.
Disadvantages: Packaged in a cheap cardboard sleeve rather than a jewel case.

...- a song about being in a band on the road that is actually good. And excuse me, is that a trumpet solo in the middle? This isn't "Penny Lane" you know lads... Apart from the tracks being too long this is downright commercial so far. Time for something deeper then...
