Review

Album is dedicated to the victims of terrorist attacks in Russia, including the school siege on September 1 - 3, 2004 in Beslan, North Ossetia - Alania, Russia. All proceeds from sales of this album go directly to survivors of the attack and families of those who died in the tragic events. More than 1200 children, parents and teachers spent 3 days and nights in the school's sport hall without food and water under the terrorists' guns, with hanged bombs over the hostages. On the third day, 2 bombs have exploded right above the hostages, leaving many children and adults dead and most others badly injured, some impaired for the rest of their lives. People have burst into jumping out of the broken windows and running out of the school's doors, with terrorists shooting everyone in their backs. Children and adults ran on broken glass under gunfire, helping each other. Several mothers, who lost their children in the attack, have committed suicides. After this tragedy, some children have lost their ability to talk, some cannot walk, and most children do not want to ever come back to school again. Track 2 "Paean" is build around samples of the voice of a surviving 7-year-old hostage, first-grader Diana Alikova (with her mother's permission), sampled from her brief interview, given to the Russian TV a month after the tragic events. When journalists arrived, she could not talk for an hour. She is one of the very few surviving children, who want to go to school next year.
