Okean Elzy. Dolce Vita.

Announcing the release of the new album, Svyatoslav Vakarchuk said: "In this work, we went back to the sound as on the album "YaNaNebiBuv", i.e. these are basically four instrumental lines and one vocal". So simply – but only at first sight. In the end, it is possible to describe with a similar formula, probably, 90% of the entire popular music for the latest 50 years... By the way, in the sense of music, the album does conduct a short excursion: glam rock, neo romanticism, Brit pop, cosmo rock – all that is here, and not only this. Ballads, "hits", sadness, sarcasm, patriotic fervor (in the best sense), soft lyricism – all that is here, and not only this... "Dolce Vita" is the answer to oneself, whether it is possible to keep the high standard set by the album "Measure". The answer is – yes, no doubt. Actually, these two albums in the group's discography can be compared due to the force and depth, and technical mastery. While technically "Dolce Vita" can even outweigh, because attaining maximal expressiveness by consciously limiting the set of instruments – not always and not everyone succeeds in that. It is only a pity that the album does not contain a bit more of such songs as "Sky over the Dnipro" or "Nadya" – but here already tastes differ...

Svyatoslav Vakarchuk. Vnochi. /digi-pack/. (At Night)


In spite of that “At Night” compositions do not meet the pop-format, the album is aimed at mass audience. The name, voice and the specific, characteristic of only Svyatoslav Vakarchuk melodics of the compositions will help fans of Ukrainian music become acquainted with new music forms, to seize new music territories.

Svyatoslav Vakarchuk. Oranzhereya. /digi-pack/. (The Orangery)


Svyatoslav Vakarchuk's third solo project is an expected change in tonlity, The Orangery builds up a space to approximate comfort. Approximate – because there are enough disturbing notes, but they do not set the key mood. Basically, it seems – it is about the desire to speak so quietly that one could get as close as possible..

Okean Elzy. Mira. /re-edition, digi-pack/. (Measure)


.. There is no pursuit for the sake of acknowledgement – and there is no temptation of observing style limitations, but there is the ability to make it maximally as exact as you consider necessary. Sheer rock music grows from this root, creativity not for the sake of freedom, but as its direct result.

Dudko quintet. Sofia.


"Sofia" is not something soft and sweet. Fresh improvisation music with the Slavonic flavor – bright and rather poignant music, which in no way fits for serving as just a background. It requires attentive listening, and it is just pleasant to listen to it attentively, to track the line of each instrument...

Okean Elzy. Zemlya. /digi-pack/. (Land)


"Land" is a very grand word. But if we put it simple, then this is space for grain – where grain dies in order to generate new life. The basis. What everything stands on, where it returns – in order to leave again...

Okean Elzy. Model. /re-edition, digi-pack/.


The first impression of this album is "I do not understand". You should listen to this CD, listen more and more, discovering new and new layers of rhythms, melodies and emotions.

Svyatoslav Vakarchuk. Brussels. /digi-pack/.


The main thing is that this music is not committed to a certain style, but rather to a certain brand, a quality of expression. So, if for the sake of this quality one needs to add some atypical colors – it happens in an easy and natural way. Such a cool simplicity. At the same time – it is a team play, in which no one pulls the blanket over himself.

Okean Elzy. Dolce Vita. Remastered. /re-edition, digi-pack/.


Mastering of this release was performed in the USA, in the studio of the legendary sound producer Bob Ludwig, whose experience during the almost half-a-century career includes work with over 1200 musicians. This mastering was born at the height of "Dolce Vita Tour" in 2010 and as brightly as possible it conveys the integral, bright sound of the live concert performance.

Okean Elzy. Gloria.


May be, for the sake of that it was worth while changing the group members – with the exception of Guru, of course. Now it is interesting what will happen next. Because judging by ears – to be continued.

Hud:mov. Trampliny.


As for me, this work of art is marked by lightness, at that this lightness is more pleasant than vain. You see, there are thoughts present here, and they are different, but they are not put on a pedestal, on the contrary, they fly simply and easily somewhere near your head.

Очень сильный альбом,не поддающийся ни какой критике.Нет ни единого проходящего трека.Все слушается на одном дыхании.Господа приготовьтесь-он вывернет вашу душу наизнанку.

Я ТАК хотела его услышать, что не дождалась выхода в России. Первое впечатление - это лучший альбом из мною услышанных (а у меня полная колекция). Понравился больше Суперсимметрии, я думала он будет непревзойденным. Абсолютно неожиданная песня Ще один день - в творчестве группы еще не было ничего похожего - потрясающая, пронзительная до слез Небо над Дніпром, моя любимая Королева - видно, что Петя очень постарался над музыкой. Но описывать свои впечатления от всех песен не буду - это надо слышать самому. Отдельное внимание заслуживает бонус - Ой, чий там кінь стоїть - в сопровождении электрогитары Чернявского - это нечто.

Цікавий альбом. Він дуже відрізняється від попередніх робіт Океану. Мені дуже сподобався звук, цілісне звучання. Комусь він може здатися трошки простим з музичної точки зору, але мені здається хлопці спеціально повернулися від електронного звуку до більш рокового. І це класно! Усім рекомендую!!!

Вітаю!
Цей альбом не викликав такі ж самі сильні почуття як попередні.
Здається що він більш прозорий та не досить тривалий.
Немає майже нічого нового.

Це моя думка.

Альбом дуже сподобався!!!
Навіть більше, ніж "Міра", хоч, безперечно, альбоми чимось схожі.
Як завжди якісна, професійна музика!
Усім рекомендую!!!
