Kuidas kuningas kuu peale kippus

Untitled

Kuidas kuningas Kuu peale kippus (How the king wanted to go to the Moon) is an album released in 2004 by No-Big-Silence and Kosmikud.

The singles are "Kuninga imekanad", "Sepa kahurikuul" and "Tisleri kastitorn".

This album is based on the 1976 TV musical (Kuidas kuningas kuu peale kippus) by Peeter Volkonski and Dagmar Normet. Now, 28 years later Kosmikud and No-Big-Silence give the songs new energy. The original arrangement was done by an Estonian rock band Ruja (1971-1988).

Style

For many NBS fans this album may seem to sound very strange on first listen. The music can be considered to be a mash of Kosmikud's music and No-Big-Silence's music. while "Vapper major annab au", "Sepa kahurikuul" and "Tisleri kastitorn" sound more like standard No-Big-Silence songs, the other tracks can be seen as NBS/Kosmikud mash-ups.
