CAT. CAT. /digi-pack/

It is a phenomenon. Music of the group "CAT" can, probably, be called avant-garde of the underground. It would be possible to name it free jazz - if it were jazz. But it is something other, different. However, any certain definitions should be destroyed here, so that there were no temptation of restriction. And just – to plunge into silence of these somewhat innerved from the outside, but unostentatious, deeply intelligent searches for transparency. Searches for pure, sonorous, self-sufficing sound. So grass under the breath of the strong southwest wind grows. So ice sings a few hours before the spring, a few days before the ice drift. So asphalt at the exit from a large city falls asleep and wakes up. So reflection of dark blue eyes shivers in a split windowpane, behind which night is slowly unwrapping. It appears that it is possible to draw so with the help of the acoustic guitar, a button accordion and a violin – only. Similar to drawings by Picasso – before you have seen it yourself, you will not believe that it is possible to express so much with one line. Until you have listened to the whole album – you will not understand that.
