HOW QUICKLY things change in the frenetic world of peak oil. At the Aer Lingus annual meeting last Friday, chairman John Sharman told shareholders that he went to bed on Thursday evening with oil at $122 a barrel and woke up the next morning to find it at $129 a barrel.

Niall Duff, EVG: THE 21ST century hasn't been kind to the traditional Irish pub. With as many as 1,000 pubs outside Dublin having closed in recent years - and up to 600 nationwide in the last year alone - the industry has had to take a long hard look at the way it was doing business in order to su 554 rvive.

Druha Rika. Moda. (Fashion) (27.96UAH, $6.92USD)

Valery Harchyshyn had an opportunity to acquire a refreshed look at life and its values, at creativity and its content – and he did make the best of this opportunity. It seems that here, this has finally happened – that maturing that was ripening in the previous albums by the group. If before one of the main colors was youth romanticism, now its place is gradually being occupied by simple, without fervor, glance in eyes.

We could say – Stelsi has succeeded, not losing its dance lightness, in creating a lyric, honest, rich in content album on a frisky crossing of very different styles. An album about life. Life is different – but, in any case, completely ours.

Gorchitza live project. Highlights. (32.00UAH, $7.92USD)

...first, it is a frankly high-quality product – and, although now in Ukraine there is already quite a bit of high-quality electronic music, there are still more clubs, therefore the demand is only growing. Well, and secondly – however surprising, there is still not that much of club music with live vocal until now, if that is not outright waste.

Kyiv Chamber Choir. Valentyn Sylvestrov. Sacred Works. Volume One. (80.48UAH, $19.92USD)

It seems to me that it is just impossible to pass by that rest, internal force and freedom that sound in his works. Confidently – but not boldly, nobly – but without boasting, posturing. Music by Sylvestrov practically always causes the feeling as though he stands in front of the face of eternity with his head uncovered but raised – and you, the listener, at these moments stand next to him...

Inna Prokopchuk could be earlier heard in the folklore group "Lukiny Rosy". But starting from 2006, a new group at her participation began swiftly spinning up – actually, that is DrymbaDaDzyga. At that, the whirl sped up so quickly that the motherland did not even have time to really notice how another bright flower of folk-funk-rock bloomed in its fields.

Kyiv Chamber Choir. Evhen Stankovych. Choral Creations. (2CD). (112.80UAH, $27.92USD)

It is quite enough to just listen attentively to any pieces by Stankovych, from chamber to symphonic ones – and there are no longer any doubts: this man enriched not a nation – but humanity – with his creativity. The feeling is absolutely clear – the spaces that live in music by Stankovych breathe real grandeur.

Ethnogroup "Silska Muzyka" is a very close relative of the known folklore group "Vesnyanka". At all events, founding fathers are the same for these collectives. And, actually, their direction of research is also, at least now, close – it is folklore of Rivnenske Polissya.

The film of "Sappho. Love Without Limits" is a provocative story about reckless love and passion, events of which develop on the Greek island of Lesbos in 1920s.
