ბაკურ ბურდული - თითქოს (2003) [სრული ალბომი]

Bakur Burduli - Titqos (As If) [Full Album]. Although Bakur Burduli's music might not be as challenging and intense as works by Lado, his older brother, the songs he writes have this unmistakable hopefulness and beautifully life-affirming quality. This album is essentially a compilation of song he's recorded from mid 1990s to early 2000s, hence the stylistic versatility. Most of the music here is centered on britpop and alternative rock, but surprising folkloric touches and sweeping balladry makes a number of songs stand out. All in all, this belongs to one of the better releases from Georgian "cassette boom" period that was in effect somewhere from 1999 to 2006. ტრეკლისტი / Tracklist: 1. გაზაფხული / Spring - 0:00 2. როცა შენ... / When You... - 4:01 3. ფეთქავს / It's Beating - 7:49 4. ყველაზე ახლოს / Closer Than Anything - 11:43 5. იგივე შეცდომებს / Same Mistakes - 15:35 6. გამოგივა ხვალ / You Will Work It Out Tomorrow - 20:10 7. რეკორდი / Record - 23:37 8. ხორბლის მინდვრებს / To The Wheat Fields - 28:18 9. თითქოს / As If - 32:43 10. გილოცავ ახალ წელს / Happy New Year - 36:47 11.
