Karbido, Yuri Andrukhovych. Absinthe. /super-pack/. (CD+DVD).
"Dear Friends of this record, those of you who have dared into listening to it will find the following introductory sentences usefull. Our audio-film is centered around a mysterious story of Stanislaus Perfecki (?-1993?) – a poet, a traveler, and a performer who one day embarks upon a journey from Lviv to the West, spends some time in Krakow, Prague, Berlin, and Bavaria – and ultimately emerges in Venice, the City of Ghosts.
There, he experiences a series of incredible adventures and falls in love with Ada Cytryna, his interpretress. Being forced to part with his beloved woman and unable to fulfil his special top secret mission, Perfecki vanishes. The ensuing investigation highlights suicide as the most plausible cause of his disappearance, suggesting that Perfecki apparently threw himself out of the hotel window into the Canal Grande of Venice... Having listened to this record, you will find out what his last words were. You will be able to listen to the message he recorded on the dictaphone right before he leapt into the abyss. And, there will be something extra, too.
Have you tuned in to the right wave? Are you prepared to listen to the angels?
What about a splash of water?
If your answer is Yes, proceed to listening. Buona fortuna!
Yours infinitely – Andrukhovych & Karbido" (quoted from the release's polygraph)

The release includes a 36-page booklet with lyrics of all the songs in English, in Polish and in Ukrainian.

Ptakh_Jung. Black Period. /digi-pack/.


..as a matter of fact, Ptakh_Jung's music turns out to be a great accompaniment for reflections, contemplation, because there is enough peace, and dynamism. One could say that the Black Period album is an ambient that dives into post-rock and emerges in neoclassicism – in an arbitrary order. Or one could say that the stratification of spaces..

The Elephants. Colors. /premium, eco-pack/.


Brevity, clarity of lines, softness of accents – sometimes even on the edge of being toylike. Transparent, like light shade. Add a bit of a bare nerve – and this would be "disruption" music, but for the time being The Elephants offer indie-pop-tronic with elements of fabulousness. And they do it so that one wants to believe it.

Zapaska. Pomalu. /eco-pack/.


"Sparklers in the eyes" – that's a line from the title song, "Pomalu", and this is the feeling that one listens through the entire album with. A quiet celebration of fragile landscapes, muted colors, and clear verbal sketches – this seeming simplicity borders on the finest intimacy, while remaining impermeable enough..

Tik Tu. Shuma. /digi-pack/.


It is hard to believe that all this amazing lace was created by just three individuals – the matter, given the saturation, is the precision of every line, every stroke. And in addition to this rather dense, rich basis, there's a whole bunch of decoration sounds. If you have been looking for inadvertently solar indie – this is a rare case of it, definitely.

Gutzul Magik Foundation. Molfar. /digi-pack/.


"Molfar", I guess, is about the fact that there is no difference where from and where to, because there as always here-and-now. Where there is no place for hope – hope requires memory and time – and here all the space is occupied with.. attention? I do not even know – you stay in this space while the album plays on, and then this space just plays on in you..

4.A.J.K.A. Aerodinamika.


...due to the dub basis and electronic "sparkles" 4.A.J.K.A  creates an interesting, energetically twilight atmosphere – here, we bow to trip-hop – but. Some guitar motions, as well as the trumpet, in spite of such "twilightness" of sounding – fill the music with extra fragile light, do not let it submerge irreversibly into the dark depths.

Krobak. The Diary of the Missed One.


At some instant this sort of music simply divides the dense mass of the audience into a sum of separate selves – in order to reunite them later, but already at another level. Then this is no longer a crowd, then these are people... It is possible to say otherwise. In this music, beauty is dissolved – which you listen and hear staying alone with yourself, even if there is someone else around...

2sleepy. Art Fraud. /digi-pack/


Surprisingly soft, lyric, even tender rock music wrapped in multiplayer electronic diaper... Absolute correspondence to the name of the group. So delicate balancing on that rim of a dream, where colors are childishly bright, but contours have already been washed out with lolling of quiet waves – it charms from the first second, as if petals of a night campfire. One feels it as rough warmth of a knitted sweater...

Dollheads. Dollheads.


...it seems that nothing of the kind has yet been released on Ukrainian alternative scene. At that, this refers to alternative of the two directions at once – both rock- and electronic one. Because, as known, Dollheads actively engage in their music electronic devices – in the end, this is heard distinctly. But at that the group plays – live.

Olexander Bystrushkin. Zhovti psy Karpat. /mini-pack/. (Yellow dogs of the Carpathians)


Like Bystrushkin's previous albums, this record is also a melodic recitation. Slow, thoughtful – as a way to pay tribute, as a way to listen more carefully.

MuzBat. Neskoreny ProRock. Vasyl Stus. /songbook+CD/. (Unsubdued ProRock. Vasyl Stus)


(this edition is an exclusive thing, and you cannot buy it. But you can get it as a present). – Vasyl Stus, a poet and citizen, belongs to the cohort of daredevils who disagreed with the conventional: one soldier does not make a battle. With all his struggle-of-life, struggle-of-art, Stus and his stubborn like-minders proved the opposite..

Tanya Sha, MuzBat. Neskoreny ProRock. Olena Teliha. /songbook+CD/. (Unsubdued ProRock. Olena Teliha)


(this edition is an exclusive thing, and you cannot buy it. But you can get it as a present). – The emotionality, tension, and passion of Teliha's poetic language impress and attract. Moreover, her experience is inscribed in urban landscapes, everything seems to be happening right now and to you personally.. – Tanya Sha

Dilya, Orest Krysa. 22. /digi-pack/.


..this is why the album has turned out very easily presented. With the unobtrusive simplicity that knows how to avoid primitivism. Due to this, the lyrics do not get lost in the arrangements – which also matters, because a lot of truly cool, and sometimes – already classical – poems were set to music here.

Levko Tymoshchuk. Kriz plach ta stohin... /digi-pack/. (Through Cry and Moan...)


..and one can hear here verses by Stus, Sosyura, Ukrainka, Lysheha, Shevchenko – just listen how up-to-date the lines written by these people in the seemingly different epochs sound. Although in some general sense, they belong to the same epoch – that of self-realization. "Hit that rock"...

Komu Vnyz. 4: Shevchenko. (EP). /digi-pack/.


..There is space both for an atmospheric ballad, and for the proprietary hard "art-bombardment", and a recitative prophecy/spell that makes you freeze – in other words, listen. A worthy succinct statement.

Oksana Zabuzhko. reading own poems. /digi-pack/


It, sure, happens differently to everyone. Oksana Zabuzhko's poetry is what I, for example, have not read till now, but now – I will definitely go on reading it. Why? Because this recording simply and clearly creates a good impression – and causes the desire to meet again, to find out more. Because having listened to the disc, you get, so to say, a complex pleasure...

Olha Bohomolets. For Lina Kostenko Con Amore. /Hyacinth Sun/. (2CD). /digi-pack/.


..the whole album is devoted to writings by Lina Kostenko. And one does not even want to say how much beauty, love, pain, intelligence, passion, contemplation are there in her poems.. Yes, all of this is there. But the main thing is that they are – extremely honest. And it is honesty that is able to make these beauty, pain, love, understanding – significant, deep, perceptible and important for others. For us.

Serhij Moroz. Jarij, Dushe...


Vasyl Stus is one of those poets who are known to everybody who knows at least something about Ukrainian poetry. That’s why it is not a surprise to anyone that from time to time musicians of quite different styles and trends turn to his literary heritage...

Iryna Shynkaruk. Mira. (Measure)


"Measure" is not just a new album by Iryna Shynkaruk. Actually, this is not even an album in the ordinary sense of the word, it's something different. The singer says that this project currently does not have analogues in Ukraine – and, as far as we know, it does not indeed. Although, it would seem, the idea is extraordinarily simple and obvious..

S.T.i X. project. Platnyj pljazh na Stixi.


This album is really like an explosion, about which you suddenly understand that it is not so much an explosion outside, but most likely an explosion inside. When you look through the window, it moves away. When you knock on the door, it moves near. When you pass by, it is over.

BUDU band. Vydykh Vdykh. (2CD). /premium, eco-pack/. (Exhale Inhale)


...And – freedom, needed in treatment of the form and details. This is what this album is comprised of – well, and a jolt of haphazardness, to spell out in words the somewhat absurd lyricism of the world capable of joyfully and sadly beautiful acts. Even if it doesn't (?) make sense. Exhale and inhale, mind and heart, because otherwise – it does not work, it does not dance.

Laura Marti. Shine. /digi-pack/.


..on the one hand – the fantasy of jazz musicians. And on the other, all these laces of motions and patterns are thought over and embodied so confidently and easily that this ease allows one to not focus too much, but skip and let it go to the back of one’s mind right away. Instead, one listens to the main melodic line, the beauty and the flexible power of the voice..

Konstantin Kolesnichenko. Hypnotized! /digi-pack/.


..there are things that "penetrate" even without special training – and this album deserves attention no matter how well you're familiar with the blues. As it is played extremely deliciously – with appropriate conciseness, but not dryness. Because it is played by young jazz musicians, hence "Hypnotized!" has incorporated features of both blues and jazz..

Nino Katamadze, Insight. Green.


Very transparent, juicy, quiet and confident and yet full of irrepressible life – this is what this work appears like. Stylistically, it continues the trend including the albums "Black" and "Red" – the pure jazz-rock line, with no direct immersions into the lounge or symphonicity. But in a much softer, tender version.

Braty Bluzu. One Autumn Concert. (live). /digi-pack/.


First, "Braty Blusu" have long ago already – and absolutely deservedly – become a living legend of the Ukrainian jazz-rock. And, second – and this is, probably, even more important – the album is really good and interesting. Interesting, foremost, due to its ambiguousne...

Back Country. Reflection of Universe. /digi-pack/


I could say something about the reflection of the musical universe here, as several musical trends and styles got skilfully and gently entangled in this album. Still it seems to me that it would not be groundless to speak about the reflection of the Universe itself, as it is a musical stream, which is characterised by generality.

Enver Izmailov Trio. Minaret.


From ballads to dance, from folklore through art rock to meditation and jazz – I would call this world fusion, as a lot of roots from the whole world have intertwined here. However, all the plays have their common root: the basis is creative re-consideration of music of Crimean Tatars and other Black Sea peoples.
