Vopli Vidopliassova. Chudovy Svit. /digi-pack/. (The Wonderful World)
Well what can one say? Vopli Vidopliasova have not only released a full-fledged album after a 7 - year break (although during that time they released singles and the mini-album "Lado", as well as the joint album with Les Podervyansky, and solo projects by Oleh Skrypka) – VV have released something significantly different in the musical, conceptual sense. Even though "Wonderful World" seems to continue the trend of combining rock aesthetics with ethnics – now it sounds different. It sounds as if the band was able to rethink and synthesize all the previous studio and concert groundwork, to expand the scope of perception – thus, when Oleh Skrypka defines this new piece as "velvet symphonic punk", that is not that much of an exaggeration. Moreover, the band's involvement in this album is far from just nominal – these are full orchestrations, interesting arrangements that have really enriched the overall picture. Also, it is perhaps VV's most diverse album in the sense of stylistic inclusions: rock, punk, dub, rock and roll mixed with the Ukrainian melodies and decorated with oriental motifs – the words, perhaps, sound usual, but it is worth listening to the music. By the way, Skrypka's performance style has also undergone some transformations – sometimes it is even difficult to recognize him. In short, it is interesting – and nice that VV have managed to take another step forward.

Foma, Mandry. Chas letyt. /digi-pack/. (Time Flies)


Some of these songs could be heard at Foma's performances back in 2014. Time flies, sure – now there are more of them. Because the theme remains unchanged – the war, which came about then, lasts as of the eve of 2018, when the album is finally released. The country is painfully transforming itself. The price is loss of illusions, inoculated so long ago and so deeply...

Rock-H. Spivanochky pro lyubov. /digi-pack/. (Melodies About Love)


It would seem that with such a title one should expect from the album if not pink tears with ruffles – then, in any case, some average ballads. But "Rock-H" from the very beginning stood out against the background, and this time, too, they do not disappoint.

Kozak System. Shablya. re-edition. /digi-pack/. (Saber)


"Kozak System" offers a bright mixture of modern and folk poetry, powerful rock, ska-punk with insertions of reggae, and everything is kept together by the serious frame of the Ukrainian folk root. In short - you should meet them again.

Dark Patrick. Rise of the Underworld. /mini-pack/.


..It’s hard to pinpoint exact influences that aptly mirror what Dark Patrick is going for here, though a safe bet would want to include nods to numerous strata of organic electronica, soundtrack ambient, world ethnotronica, psych and trip-hop. Additionally, the band claims some affiliation to the fertile soils of reggae, dub and trance...

Mlyn. All-Ukrainian Music Collection. /digi-pack/. (Mill)


...However, they thus somehow fit into the concept of "ethno-rock" – but nevertheless the entire picture comes out very colorful. And – it is nice that within the same style one can hear so diverse, unconventional, brilliant music.

Vopli Vidopliassova. Muzika. /anniversary release, digi-pack/.


"The long expected has finally happened – "VV" has republished its works of the past years. Cult one – you won’t call that anything but that. The album "Muzika" is something considerably more than just a music product or some high-quality goods. This is an idea, embodiment, revolution, hope, and joy, and a thousand of things in one."

Vasyl Lyuty (bojan Zhyvosyl). Orijana. Zhyttja jak je. (Life As It Is)


Well, finally a new disc by the boyan Zhyvosyl – Vasyl Lyuty – has appeared. I think that anyone who had already heard his songs before could not help waiting for something new. There is such force in his texts, and in music – live indeed – that it is almost impossible to listen indifferently, not to get penetrated with it.

ВВ как всегда на высоте. Великолепная работа и автора, и исполнителей, и звукорежиссеров. Этот альбом ОБЯЗАТЕЛЬНО должен быть выпущен на виниле.

Просто супер з початку до кінця. В традиціях молодого ВВ але якось більш дозріло, задумчиво але має всю енергетику і креатив ВВ із дачних часів. Молодці!

Великолепный (как по мне) альбом любимой группы. Хотя я, если честно, и не ожидал от них уже ничего. И тут внезапно (для меня) и приятно. Выверенные аранжировки. Очень нравится фагот :) Да, нет того безумия юности, но не кататься же на нём всю жизнь. Именно хорошая музыка.

p.s. Покупаю здесь не в первый раз. В этом плане всё отлично. Спасибо..
