Batiar-band "Halychyna", Victor Morozov. Batiar Blues. /digi-pack/.
This is the third "batiar" album by Viktor Morozov and batiar band "Halychyna" – it already seems to turn into an entire series. Finally, and not surprisingly – because it is, perhaps, difficult to find a more colorful theme, and the success of the two previous works convincingly confirmed this. It should be noted that the author of almost all the lyrics (as well as in "Batiar's Heart") is our contemporary – Andriy Panchyshyn, Morozov's longtime mate since the time of the legendary theater studio "Ne Zhurys!" So, it is another stylization – and a brilliant one. This refers both to the lyrics, and music. Moreover, in terms of intonation/masks "Batiar Blues" is, perhaps, the most striking album of this series – adults, respected professionals, play as if children here. Only, unlike children, they have behind their backs – 40 years of very diverse experience and no fear to look funny. And this is true power.. Yes, these songs easily inspire a sense of a journey back in time and a special, salty smile at the present. But, on the other hand, they contain such ordinary freedom that it is even unordinary – a nice luxury for any "troublesome time".
Anton Yozhyk Leyba (Hedgehog)

The release contains a 20-page booklet with lyrics of all the songs.

Orest Lyuty. A ya – ne moskal. /digi-pack/. (And I am not a Moscovite)


..Anyway, the album "And I am not a Moscovite" convincingly illustrates how cleverly one can make fun of the Soviet influence and chanson (in the post-Soviet sense) miasma in the modern Ukrainian culture without resorting to brutal methods. Well, almost without it. Only by irony and, above all, self-irony – sometimes quite tough...

Les Podervyansky, Oleh Skrypka. Humanists.


The performance concert by Oleh Skrypka and Les Podervyansky "Humanists" took place in December, 2000. Actually, 10 years after, in January, 2011, the performance got a new life... This recording is the case of an exclusive creative collaboration of two personalities significant for the modern Ukrainian culture.

Oleh Skrypka, Les Podervyansky. Humanists. (premium release). /digi-pack/


This recording is the case of an exclusive creative collaboration of two personalities significant for the modern Ukrainian culture. It is a pity that Les Podervyansky does not sing here. Instead, Oleh Skrypka actively participates in duping the plays, and this creates an additional comic and grotesque effect.. Published for the first time.

Gogol Bordello. Multi Kontra Culti vs. Irony.


During the recent years, Gogol Bordello has become, probably, one of the most popular eccentric bands in the entire world – while it plays not quite, so to speak, commercial music. Though, on the other hand, in these songs so much is mixed that the definition "gipsy ska-punk" does not convey even a half of it...

Vasyl Hontarsky, Yuriy "HoboT" Galinin. Vasya and Hobot.


The album is really queer, its style is "for one’s soul". To the question "for whose one?" we answer: a hippie’s one, whatever this word may mean. It is a man's dialogue with the air, when the woman has already left, but her image is still melting in the mirror. And you are in the middle of all that – what other explanations do you need? There is nothing. A hangover philosophical song.

Yuri Zdorenko & Hash. Na zdorov'ja! /digi-pack/. (To Health!)


Yuriy Zdorenko & Hash spin up – and in quite an unexpected way. Actually, what could seem after release of their debut mini-album? That Zdorenko decided to cook another poignantly hot dish based on the recipe tested in the "Borsch" project. And what actually turns out?

Victor Morozov, Batiar-band "Halychyna". Til'ku vi L'vovi. L'vivs'ki batjars'ki pisni. (Only in Lviv)


This disc creates its own specific atmosphere, tender and impudent at the same time, it smells the streets, along which maidens defile dressed in clothes you can not see in our time. You know, this is a very pleasant feeling – the feeling of presence which appears while listening to this disc.
