They are also acoustic instrumental act, and in its line-up we can find instruments such as a cello, violin or bouzouki. Its discography started out in 2007 year with the album ” Apart From The Rest”, followed by “The Hereness And Nowness Of Things” from 2009.

“Long Goodbye” is actual offering with 8 instrumental tracks in. Judging by stylish forms, a band love to combine a several idioms as a fusion, progressive, world music, jazz, and chamber including too.They are also deep into the Balkan and Middle Eastern folk, and all of mentioned influences are present on songs/themes from the album. Many so call spiritual and emotional elements posses materials from album. I would also add that 70’s aspect and hidden kraut rock details can be seen on group’s arrangments. As a album, ” Long Goodbye” ” distribute” many stories, movies, and unexpected moods as well. Nowadays, we can not find ” too many” similar products. Esthema is a unique act with clear message and attitude.


Iz Bostona, Massachussets dolazi šestočlani akt naziva Esthema, predvođeni ključnom autorskom figurom, gitaristom Andy Milasom.Takođe su instrumentalan akt, i u njihovoj postavi su i takvi “egzotični” instrumenti kao npr. chelo, buzuki, violina, kaz. Njihova diskografska priča započeta je 2007-e albumom “Apart From The Rest”, a nastavljena 2009-e CD-om naziva “The Hereness And Nowness Of Things”.

“Long Goodbye” je aktuelno ostvarenje, na kojem se našlo 8 instrumentalnih tema. Sudeći po žanrovskim izboru, bend voli da kombinuje više stilskih idioma kao što su progressive, fusion, world music, jazz i chamber varijante. Takođe su “inficirani” balkanskim i srednje istočnim (azijskim) folkom , i svi pomenuti uticaji,prisutni su na temama sa albuma. Njihova muzika isto tako apsorbuje puno spiritualnih, psychodelic, i izraženo emotivnih elemenata. Dodao bih, da im nisu strani uticaji pridošli iz zlatnih 70-tih, kao i iz nemačke škole kraut rocka. Muzika sa albuma ” Long Goodbye” isporučuje puno ” nenapisanih” priča, filmova, i neočekivanih raspoloženja, koje “prisvajate” pri preslušavanju ovde prisutnih tema/songova. U današnje vreme na globalnoj svetskoj sceni, ne može se pronaći veliki broj sastava, poput ovog američkog. Esthema su akt sa izraženim stilom, pristupom i stavom.
