Okean Elzy. Gloria.

I did not expect that. And what can you say here? A lot of people waited impatiently for the release of this album, so it will be sold off irrespective of what will be said about it – whether it is good or boring, green or speckled violet (not to forget to knock! We are also the mystery of the third planet, aren’t we?). Still, really, something has changed for better – because here and now smearing of tears over a face, which is called crying, is gradually turning into sobbing, and I say that figuratively, not for the sake of offending somebody. You see, to cry or to whimper is one thing, but to wail and to sob is another thing - there is some pathetic element in it, some passion and energy, which may as well exceed the scale, tore clothes and uncover not only breasts, but also bones and blood pulsation. Considering the matter from musical point of view, personally for me this manner of presentation sometimes reminds stones, which are rolling – well, you understand what I am talking about. This is a compliment, but the quality of the album – yes - deserves compliments. There was a film entitled "Crazy Dog and Gloria". I don’t remember its content now, but as for its title – it’s wonderful. It seems to me that the same thing happened to "Ocean Elzy" at last. 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.

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...
Domestic price: 250.60UAH, International price: $17.90USD

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...
Domestic price: 250.60UAH, International price: $17.90USD

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.

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.

Глорія - Супер Альбом. Це я вам кажу як старий сноб,
який з дитинства слухає англомовну музику, закінчив консерваторію,
і ходить на живі концерти Марка Нопфлера(Mark Knopfler)

Найбільші компліменти - Славі. Його вокал став ПОТУЖНИМ,
він навчився "рявкнути" в мікрофон.
Майдан додав драйву?
Аранж пісень - віртуозно-філігранний, просто бракує слів.

Російські мас-медіа сині від заздрості(читаю в і-неті) -
поливають ОЕ брудом - хрін їм в №%*у!

You, guys are awesome and the new album is just wonderfull, but still there is something missing in it. Yes, the energy is there, yes, Slava Vakarchuk still deserves the titul of sex-symbol of Ukraine, and not only Ukraine, but the charm, the style, the uniq part that made OE so unlike everyone else and the one I fall in love with a year ago is gone.. I just cant find it in any song on the album.. Its just not there. All the songs are perfect. WAY TOO PERFECT.. Its like wearing jewelry. When its not so much of it, it makes you look better and gives you your uniq charm, but when you are covered by it..it just spoils all your outfit!! So better not wear it at all in that case..
Anyway, good job, guys. Just try to get the OE style back

Ви просто молодці! Раніше я не захоплювалася вашою творчістю, але рік тому мої погляди помінялися. Я прослухала всі Ваші пісні і зрозуміла , що в них можно побачити своє життя. Тепер Ви моя улюблена група! Я Вас люблю

І я його розумію. Є привід, щоб захворіти на зіркову хворобу.
А альбом майстерний і професіональний, витриманий як коштовне вино, яким хочеться смакувати і насолоджуватися кожним ковтком, себто вибачаюся, піснею.
СЛАВА УКРАЇНІ І СЛАВА ОЕ!!!

More and more proving themselves to be a classic rock band capable of almost anything. Shades of Freddie Mercury in many of the tracks...and the band has the talent to lay a solid and creative foundation. They keep getting better and better. Highly recommended! Now when does an album in English come out - that would be something! The world is waiting!

хлопцi я дуже розчарована!!!:(
Вiд "Океану Ельзи" залишилась тiльки назва!!!
Сподiвалась, що змiна складу гурту не зупсуе мiй улюблений гурт(тепер уже мабуть в минулому)
Зараз сиджу и слухаю старi й новi пiснi-про яке поривняння може йти мова!!!
Вu хлопцi вбили мiй улюблений гурт!!!

Не ожидал от Океана такого ... :(
Половина песен альбома = дискотека 80-х (такое ощущение, что играет вокально-инструментальный ансамбль (в не хорошем смысле этого слова).
А вторая половина - претензия на ТАКУЮ ОРИГИНАЛЬНОСТЬ, что скорее можно назвать самовлюбленными песнями Славы для Славы.
Короче, такого отстоя в таком объеме я от них не ожидал.
