Nikita. ChamelEon.
I think I won’t be seriously mistaken if I say that you won’t see among Ukrainian discs a lot of those similar to this creation of a strange, but fine fantasy. Now, it is not that easy to find this disc – and it’s a pity. And it is a pity not only that it is such rarity. It was a bright step forward in comparison with the general background – and, it seems, it became a forerunner for many current music implementations. Moreover – its originality suffices to not let it get lost among other interesting releases even now. Pay attention to who assisted the project – A. Kuz’menko (Kuz’ma), A. Pidluzhny (Nichlava), Shura "Gera", Lesya Herasymchuk... Do you remember? – tell me who your friend is... But – a bit about the music. The structure of the album fully complies with the name – every new composition unexpectedly changes the previous color and mood. Nice and talented. From joking – to dawning lyric poetry, from post punk – to Indian summer, from ethno-electronics – and to hot pavement. Actually, the thing is not only the music. Nikita sings so variously, either haughtily or painfully, lightly, naively, deeply, funnily – and at that you each time feel truth in her singing. She as though plays, but so sincerely as only children can – she does not pretend but really lives in it. And that is why – you trust it. Such discs are as if clothes of a Transparent Gipsy. Now beautiful – and then just fanciful. Made of a thousand shreds, each of them having its own story...

Skryabin. Natura. (re-edition). /digi-pack/. (Nature)


It is nice that Skryabin constantly improves its sound, makes it more refined and, so to say, live. "Natura" is modern lyric, with fine music arrangements and general harmoniousness of the album as a whole. Some personal, intimate things are represented here a bit unusually, very simply – but, surprisingly, intimacy is not lost, and even vice versa.
Domestic price: 250.60UAH, International price: $17.90USD

Skryabin. Khrobak. (re-edition). /digi-pack/. (Worm)


There is quite a great temptation to consider "Worm" a turning point album in Skryabin's work. At all events, against the background of all previous works it stands absolutely aloof. Skryabin abandons the light, dancing direction and, to a certain extent, goes back to the initial gloomy style – but already at a different quality level...
Domestic price: 250.60UAH, International price: $17.90USD

Skryabin. Nature.


"Skryabin" group has changed it's style several times. Punk, new-wave, neo romantic. At the same time, musicians never loose their face. Skryabin songs are always cognate and a big army of funs like it.
Domestic price: 306.60UAH, International price: $21.90USD

Skryabin. Glamour.


"Srjabin" till now keeps the right to quietly express their own, probably not always pleasant, truth. These songs may be contradictory, ambiguous – but by no means can you call them empty. Cheerful and sad, loving and angry, wise and easy – they are sincere.
Domestic price: 250.60UAH, International price: $17.90USD

Skryabin. Pro ljubov? (About Love?)


This is relatively light music – but on each album by Skryabin there are always songs on social topics. And sometimes so serious and poignant that it hurts – although externally they, without unnecessary showing off, may look humorous, or quite simple, or sentimental...
Domestic price: 250.60UAH, International price: $17.90USD

The Hardkiss. The Best. /digi-pack/.


So, The Hardkiss have celebrated their first anniversary with a release of not only the fourth studio album, but also the first collection of the best songs. And the collection turns out to be representative, but there is something else that matters..
Domestic price: 278.60UAH, International price: $19.90USD

The Hardkiss. Akustyka. /premium, eco-pack/. (Acoustic)


The ACOUSTIC program did not still become a full-fledged unplugged. The concert was also complemented by a group of strings, winds, percussion – in short, the sound turns out somewhat unexpected and very rich, the arrangements could not remain unchanged either. The habitual drive has not disappeared, though, it has shifted to a slightly different plane.
Domestic price: 306.60UAH, International price: $21.90USD

The Hardkiss. Zalizna lastivka. /digi-pack/. (The Iron Swallow)


After release of the song "Zhuravli", it became clear: some inner turn should be expected from The Hardkiss. Because it was something quite unexpected. Tender and transparent – but also deep, penetrating, and conscious of its own power. And the premonition tuned out right, the album "The Iron Swallow" is really a step forward in several directions at once..
Domestic price: 250.60UAH, International price: $17.90USD

the Maneken. Sale%. /premium, eco-pack/.


Given the amount of work that Filatov is doing for a number of other performers, it is even surprising that he has enough energy and inspiration for his own project. However – he has enough. Enough energy, and imagination, and taste. Always in motion, in the process of development, always better than before – or, at least, different. The new album is an excellent illustration of this vector.
Domestic price: 208.60UAH, International price: $14.90USD

The Hardkiss. Perfection Is a Lie. /premium, eco-pack/.


..Even in the ballads – this inner power cannot be hidden, it can be perceived almost physically. Perfection is a lie, of course – but nobody forbids strive and work for it. The Hardkiss is obviously one of those who aspire and work hard.
Domestic price: 250.60UAH, International price: $17.90USD

Alloise. Episodes. /digi-pack/.


Sure, "Episodes" is pop music, but it is also sure to be intelligent pop-music, multi-layered, and interesting. That lives somewhere on the edge – and thus it is capable of transforming its audience. If you wish, dark pop. The promise of taking through the darkness and bringing into something new – it is there.
Domestic price: 306.60UAH, International price: $21.90USD

Jamala. Podykh. /digi-pack/. (Breath)


..It is amazing – how this voice is revealed in the thirteen steps of the quiet power. "Breath" is a soft and strong, weightless and confident, fragrant and unobtrusive album. Cool.
Domestic price: 348.60UAH, International price: $24.90USD

The Hardkiss. Stones and Honey. (re-edition). /digi-pack/.


..it is clear this was a considerable piece of work – but it is the "work" that you actually don't hear. One can hear – clear energy, passion, and the ability to present simple lines in a truly delicious way. However, not all the arrangements are that straightforward and, given the "lightness" of the genre, this approach especially pleases.
Domestic price: 250.60UAH, International price: $17.90USD

Ivan Dorn. Randorn. /premium, digi-pack/.


..it is difficult to explain magic – and there is some of it, and one does not need to be an apologist of relevance to feel it. Ivan Dorn and his friends produce true pop music – lightweight, smart, eclectic, and specific. Young. With genuine charm. Cool, nothing to say...
Domestic price: 250.60UAH, International price: $17.90USD

Alex Nademski, ILLaria. Podykh. /digi-pack/. (Breath)


It is Alex Nademski who is the author of the project – and, in particular, of all the lyrics and the music (although he says he only recorded what came to him). ILLaria is a "guest star," the voice. Still, when one listens, it's hard to say whose role is the leading one – the both worked at their full capacity, that's sure.
Domestic price: 348.60UAH, International price: $24.90USD

Green Grey. Glaz leoparda. /digi-pack/. (The Leopard's Eye)


Green Grey decided not to abandon the combination of electronic music with rock aesthetics – though, now there is somehow more of the latter, so one can hardly attribute this music to the light one. The elements of dubstep and hardcore are far not the only ones in this puzzle...
Domestic price: 250.60UAH, International price: $17.90USD

Skryabin. 25. /digi-pack/.


The album with this name is perceived as a certain summary – but actually it is not. It is, rather, a sort of a response to the present domestic and international challenges – and hope for continuation. Actually, now – the direct quote:...
Domestic price: 250.60UAH, International price: $17.90USD

Dazzle Dreams. Diva. /digi-pack/.


..this is a step towards club music that is absolutely able to live outside of clubs – an attempt to hint at something more meaningful than just mysterious entourage. An attempt is successful – there is the style, there is the taste. Finally, the new album to some extent may be considered as a return to aesthetics of the first album...
Domestic price: 208.60UAH, International price: $14.90USD

the Maneken. Soulmate Sublime. /digi-pack/.


The Maneken is a unique artist who works in one of the most trendy areas of the contemporary music – the electronic rock. Using music styles as "clothes" for decoration of his music ideas, he has created several unique "collections", which have its fans not only in CIS countries, but also in Europe and the USA.
Domestic price: 250.60UAH, International price: $17.90USD

Dazzle Dreams. (Go! Go! Go!) Disco killers.


...the second album by Dazzle Dreams is a bright experiment in the domain of dance music. Because, honestly speaking, this dance music can be considered rather highbrow one – at all events, the desire to move often yields to the desire to just listen attentively. However, it surprisingly does not reduce the general drive charge of the album – simply shifts it to some other, not so habitual plane.
Domestic price: 250.60UAH, International price: $17.90USD

Stelsi. Tovarystvo z bezmezhnoju bezvidpovidal‘nistju. (Unlimited unliability Company)


We could say – Stelsi has succeeded, not losing its dance lightness, in creating a lyric, honest, rich in content album on a frisky crossing of very different styles. An album about life. Life is different – but, in any case, completely ours.
Domestic price: 278.60UAH, International price: $19.90USD

Andrey Kiritchenko, Saralunden. There was no end. (EP).


Just an ideal balance between affability to the listener and self-absorbed contemplation. Conditionally, a sort of semi-acoustic, minimalist trip-hop. But far not any trip-hop would afford so much fresh, transparent air in sounding as here.
Domestic price: 250.60UAH, International price: $17.90USD

Ivan Samshit. Essential Shit. /digi-pack/


Electronic romances, dances full of sense, transcendental lyrics of clearances between worlds, enchanted and warm immersion in evening snow... Ivan Samshit – strange knights of the transparent autumn of urban stones. Sometimes it seems that the very enigma of the night before the dawn speaks to us through the voice of Petro Dain...
Domestic price: 250.60UAH, International price: $17.90USD

Luk. Sex.


In this music, there is something of photosynthesis – it also converts sun energy into force and joy of growth and oxygen for friends and other neighbors. With it, everything happens simply and easily – the morning, walk, work and avoiding work, kiss and the first pot of tea, night on the balcony and snow...
Domestic price: 250.60UAH, International price: $17.90USD

Luk. Tourist Zone.


Eccentricities, sure, differ. This one is entirely positive. Though, sometimes there is a temporary confidence that "Luk" creates music that stays somewhat aloof from our reality. But it does not prevent it from smiling – and our reality starts smiling back...
