SAMATA. Fire-show.

In some sense this work of art can be considered a slide-project of the group Gutsul Calipso. At least, among musicians involved here you will find the majority of its participants. Common features do not end here – however, there are also more and more differences. Because bright ethnic motives (and not only Ukrainian ones) are also found here at every step – however, they are wrapped in aesthetics of not banter rock, but lounge and new-age. Besides, the natural inclination of the musicians to freedom of creative self-expression has resulted in that in this project solos – both wind and string ones – have more expressive jazz mood. More space, more rhythmic patterns, more attention – the words do not distract. But there is something else. When you glance into the booklet, you will find out that this album is a full-length music interpretation of short poetry and laconic pictures. There is no sense in explaining or retelling that, simply believe – the booklet to this disc really deserves separate gratitude and attention. If music of the album were not interesting, even then this release would be worth buying – for the sake of the booklet, because it is a separate transparent trip. However, we a lucky – the music also opens for us something new indeed. Or, maybe, you know other works in the style of "Carpathians new-age with elements of ethnic jazz"?

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.

ONUKA. Onuka. /digi-pack/.


In music – as elsewhere – there are revolutionary and evolutionary steps. But in fact the line is not on the "r", but – on the implementation quality. The project "Onuka" in general, and the album "Onuka" in particular – are exactly about the implementation quality...

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.

Dazzle Dreams Sound System. Nepal. (CD+DVD).


On February, 21, 2008, the folklore expedition of the project Dazzle Dreams Sound System left for Nepal. The primary objective of the project is searching and recording of countries' ethnic music – music samples, accumulation of an original record library and its integration into their own music. During one week, the guys accumulated a great number of original samples, and they became part of new tracks by Dazzle Dreams.

Kind of Zero. Happy people. /digi-pack/


The third album of Serhiy Kindzerskyy is a bright mixture of different styles, as he feels equally comfortable in such styles as Progressive, Breakz, DrumNbass, Electro-Tech. Moreover, it is not the first time when Kind of Zero actively involves live instruments into his work – you can hear violin, pipe, electro- and bass-guitar on the new album.

Tartak, Huljajhorod. Kofein.


The new variant, I think, is to unite those who liked "Guliaygorod" at once – and those to whom it then seemed a bit too hard. Because the engine remains as powerful as before, besides the specificity of aerodynamics are now taken into account in the outlines, they have become smoother and swifter, but inside there are now much more cozy nooks. Result – both the speed and comfort have grown.

Carpathiana. Eat My Borsch.


...performances by the group are special for their ability to change the space, with this music air becomes light, but very saturated, energetic. However, it is not surprising, in fact Carpathiana combine in their work club, electronic culture – with the colors of Ukrainian folklore.

Aby MC, Tanya Radosteva. F5. /digi-pack/


There happen moments in life when suddenly you understand that you are happy not some time after, not some time ago – but right now, right here, just as you are – happy... This album is full of exactly such happiness – it exists right here and now, it quietly shines in each melody. Here, it is very cozy...

Aby MC. Ocetni standarty. (Acid Standards)


They strikingly harmoniously combine clear sorrow, sadness – with joy as clear. And that is why there is inside always a place left for light. Usually, children have this ability – and it does not matter how old they are...

Мені здається, шо ця музика не для виконання на великих відкритих майданчиках (де я, власне, вперше і почув Самату), а в клубах лаунжового спрямування. Дуже атмосферна, глибока і насичена змістом музика.
Бодя, Рудік, не ображайтеся, але мені це подобається більше, ніж ваш основний проект. Та навіть ні... подобаються обидва. Але по-різному. Хто думає, шо тут буде шось схоже на Гуцул Каліпсо, помиляються. Не буде...

Як правило, все нове дещо бентежить і повертає до старого або підтримує рух вперед до незрозумілого, зовсім невідомого, але точно щасливого. Так і з музикою Самати. Перші композиції, здається, сумні, а тому, прагнучи світла, дуже хочеться переключити на другу мелодію, але інтерес зупиняє...
Відтак розумієш, що це не сум або безлад, а просто тривога і намагання звуками передати невпевненість, нерішучість у прощанні з чимось або кимось, бажання вирватися...
А потім - спокій і навіть легкість...
Велика повага до гурту за поєднання неймовірних звуків і створення малюнку, відвертість і глибину, надання можливості подумати, оцінити, зупинитися й зазирнути в себе, побути на самоті, навіть у компанії друзів...
А щодо оформлення - окрема вдячність.
