Pavlo Tabakov. Rizdvo dlja dvokh. (Christmas for Two)
We have already repeatedly noted that Lviv artists – when they already get ready to release albums – almost certainly release an album of Christmas songs among the first ones. This has really become a good tradition – and Pavlo Tabakov, as we can see, has not betrayed it either. And considering the fact how good his second solo album appears – it is only possible to congratulate the singer on the successful choice of the topic. It seems that not only the place where Pavlo grew up and studied contributed into it, but also his previous creative experience as a member of the band "Menestreli". Careful attitude to derivative material, interesting arrangements, general saturation of the musical component with various optional but so appropriate decorations – all of that is here. And all of that makes the album "Christmas for Two", maybe, one of the best pop-albums devoted to the theme of Christmas during the several recent years. Well, and let us not forget about the voice of Tabakov – in the end, by not chance he became once one of the most interesting discoveries of the project "Shans". With his second album, Pavlo Tabakov proves once again – here the issue is not only brilliant performance talent, but real professionalism as well. He succeeds in creating pop-music in the best sense of this word – and this is, certainly, nice.

Astarta. Astarta/Edwin. /digi-pack/.


Cooperation of Astarta (a side project by Eduard Prystupa) with Colin Edwin (Porcupine Tree bass-player) is just an example of such quality implementation of ideas, when first you do not even try to understand what the essence is, but just listen. Listen carefully, because it is delicious.

ILLaria. 13 misyatsiv. /digi-pack/. (13 Months)


...Ukrainian authenticity is primarily the mystical energy of the earth and the complete harmony with the space. This is very powerful music! The new disc by ILLARIA is a kind of a calendar of Ukrainian music traditions. It includes cover versions of well-known folk songs based on authentic archival records.

Alibi. Folk. /digi-pack/.


...arrangements of this album very relevantly intertwine Ukrainian melodies with folk tunes of other nations. The palette is very broad – from klezmer and to gospel – and that, you know, positively impresses. Definitely – "Alibi" grows over itself, and grows in an interesting way.

Harmony of Nature. Summer.


...the disc combines such directions as ambient, lounge and classics. The result – orchestrated melodies accompanied by sounds of nature and modern electronic rhythms, the easy and cheerful atmosphere of leisure. Besides, all of that is also seasoned with ethnic colors – not too thickly, but pleasantly.

Ruslana. Wild Energy.


"Amazon" became the messenger of changes – though interesting but still a test of forces, reconnaissance of other territories. Now this is obvious, because "Wild Energy", in its turn, is a weighty result of those very deep quality transformations. The disc should, obviously, become the head stone in creating the image of a new Ruslana – and it has everything necessary for that. This is really another quality of music, and not only music.

Serhiy Zakharec'. Huljay, molodyy! /digi-pack/. (Make Merry, Youth!)


The project "Make Merry, Youth!" is an attempt to connect in the ethno-pop music genre reconstructed samples of folk and professional traditions of the center and east of Ukraine, use authentic music instruments, playing techniques and sound scales for their full-fledged introduction into modern youth culture. And also – to make the ear of a wide audience of listeners used to the new timbre...

Ruslana. Dyka enerhiya. (single). /slim box/. (Wild Energy)


For some time Ruslana, it seemed, had disappeared somewhere – but it has appeared that she had not. It has been revealed that she just – well, certainly – prepared a new powerful explosion on the plane of the domestic ethnic pop. Well, and now – the first robin, the first powerful explosive bullet – here you are!

Molotov 20, Marta Shpak. Osiayni. The modern treatment of traditional Ukrainian folk music. /digi-pack/. (Enlighted)


Rhythms of "Osiayni" bewitch with their soft, silent pace. Marta, in her turn, also obviously appears here not by chance. Her voice has a very interesting feature – it somehow inexplicably combines in itself the past and the future. It seems to be native – and somehow not from here.
