Here is another recording by Nina & Lena. Their debut CD "Nina i Lena" was reviewed on October 31st 1997 and contains all their biographical information. This time, Nina & Lena play a different genre. As its title "Just For Fun" implies, their repertoire is purely easy listening, entertaining music, played on the acoustic accordions (no MIDI) - my favourite sound, and on some tracks with drums. My, first thoughts after hearing it was "WOW! This is HOT playing!" They have it all - good variety, great style, clearness and warm tone. Most of all I am impressed with their style, which it is so sophisticated, so polished, totally not banal, as is so often the case with the entertainment recordings I receive. This is entertainment of a high calibre. You will enjoy this recording from the first to the last track. *****
