Million Ways To Spend Your Time. /mini-pack/
Black To Comm – fantastic deep gentle track made with vinyl loops, sounds like "old kraut-drone-psychedelic stuff". This project runs by Dekorder label owner Marc Richter from Hamburg, Germany.
Continental Fruit is the member of Bergen's experimental scene, but he hasn't got huge discography yet. Continental Fruit have been released only 7" vinyl on Smalltown Supersound, but we got really rare new track from him!
Peel Off The Bass – our favourite Ukrainian rock group recorded especially for this CD first track (in romantic garage kraut-style) for the last few years.
Monofilament – the first recorded track after 10 years break by this experimental duo from Bergen, Norway. Monofilament are: Andreas Brandal & Espen Sommer-Eide (Phonophani, Alog). Crazy tape manipulations!
TV Pow – deep environmental piece from this Chicago-based free-improv trio. TW Pow are well-known artists after their successful releases on labels such as Box Media, Bottrop, Erstwhile, Staalplaat & Gentle Giant.
Lasse Marhaug – surely, the main man of Norwegian noise. Lasse is an active solo-artist, also he is a half of outstanding duo Jazkamer. Besides he owns the label, working as designer and takes part in projects Origami Republica and DEL. Here he presents psychedelic-noise-collage stuff.
Andrey Kiritchenko – quiet electro-acoustic piece with beautiful guitar drones and overtones. Probably, Andrey is the most prolific & successful Ukrainian electronic/experimental artist. He is also the core founder of experimental Ukrainian label Nexsound.
Origami Epileptika – Norwegian multi-culture, cross-genre art-unit Origami (Replika, Republika etc). One of his faces is weird psycho-country drone composition which is represented here.
8Rolek – cracking and swinging electronic record by one of the leading artists from great Polish label Mik Music.
Jorgen Knudsen – inexhaustible Norwegian inventor, dreamer and experimentalist recorded for our release congratulant ecologic froggy jazz. Pop, noise & circus-maximus!
Olivier Lamm – "j-pop style" song from one of the leading and most interesting artists from French super avant-pop label Active Suspension.
The Complainer – another powerful beat-based outfit from Poland runs by Wojtek Kucharczyk, he is also the main force of Mik Music label.
Andreas Brandal — "analogue wizard" and our good friend from Norway presented us probably the loudest, most abrasive and intensive track on the compilation. Pretty good record in "old good industrial style".
Alexey Petrov – he is the author of this minimalistic, but great-sounding piece for laptop and 2 samples. He is most likely our favorite electronic artist for the moment. Actually, he is one of the most talented young audio experimentalists from Ukraine.
Batcheeba – the newest composition from very talented singer/songwriter Janne Waage Berset from Bergen, Norway.
CharSky – the new and exclusive song from mysterious & charismatic ex-leader of the cult Ukrainian group Nekraina.
Biblioteka Prospero – single-minded but spontaneous live improvisation for saxophone, vintage Soviet synth, prepared piano and bass. Also you can hear the short "festive" text in Russian.

Viktor Krysko. Cinema graffiti. The best of movie music. /digi-pack/.


Above all, Viktor Krysko is known as the constant member of the original Kyiv project Er.J.Orchestra, although recently he pays no less attention to the so-called K-Trio – Roman Kolyada's project. Well, and the album "Cinema Graffiti" introduces us to his somewhat different hypostasis. That of a composer.

Tomato Jaws. Reconstructed. /digi-pack/.


Thus, this album is a collection of already known but updated compositions by Tomato Jaws. Thus, not only Ukrainian friends of the project, but also international ones – as Tigerskin and Steve Jones, involved themselves into the update. Another remix was thrown by a participant of the Kyiv trio, Pavlo Lenchenko aka Playone. Plus – four tracks were prepared by the hosts – Tomato Jaws.

True Story. (v/a). /digi-pack/


Sentimony Records led by the duet Sphingida continues releasing new discs – and making us enjoy their content. At that, there is a lasting impression that collections by this recoding studio – good, aren't they – become even better each time. Pleasant impression, sure.

Dunaewsky69, Zavoloka, Kotra. Kallista. /eco-pack/.


"Kallista" is an hour-long journey through contrasts. Sometimes muted, soft, sometimes – quite sharp. But, in any case, these are deep, voluminous sound miniatures, in which there is space for meditative immersion, and for purely urban drive, and for futuristic fantasies, and for essentially shamanistic experiences.
Domestic price: 250.60UAH, International price: $17.90USD

Alla Zagaykevych, CAT. Zymovy sat. /digi-pack/. (Winter CArTen)


This world is separated from others with only a thin veil – the veil of our perceptions. And such albums as "Zymovy sat" – they make this veil visible, tangible. Re-present it. Thus, they make it possible to move it apart...
Domestic price: 348.60UAH, International price: $24.90USD

Ojra, Andrey Kiritchenko. A Tangle Of Mokosha.


The space remains clear – decorations appear fragmentary and absolutely unobtrusive. They afterwards form their own layer of fragile patterns – but the space all the same remains clear and transparent, therefore the general picture acquires depth, immensity, extraordinarily lots of warm, light, heartfelt overtones sound in it...
Domestic price: 390.60UAH, International price: $27.90USD

Viktor Pushkar, Serhiy Okhrimchuk. [chomub.ini].


This space lives at the level of such free, indirect associations that it seems almost impossible. It is quite possible that, when listening to this music, you will finally learn to dance architecture...
Domestic price: 306.60UAH, International price: $21.90USD

Viktor Pushkar, Serhiy Okhrimchuk. [chomub.ini]. Court music as it could [not] happen.


Is it really so [im]possible to imagine a Court, where the could [not] be exactly this court music? One of answer options – [chomub.ini]. ..It is time to start producing one's own blocks for the game, or to radically change the methods of their combining. It is time to search for harmony in combination of the Infrared with the Ultraviolet, the Hard with the Fluffy, or the Wavy with the Rectilinear...
Domestic price: 306.60UAH, International price: $21.90USD

Zavoloka, Kotra. Wag the Swing. /eco-pack/.


It thrills. Cool and warm, tart and sweet, quiet and agitated – that is sounding of this disc. Joyful and straightforward – children in love whose feelings are reciprocal can be like that. As to my taste, of course – because who know...
Domestic price: 250.60UAH, International price: $17.90USD

Tom Carter, Vanessa Arn, The Moglass. Snake-tongued Swallow-tailed...


And due to active use of live instruments, this music is called post-rock. And due to how exactly and in what combinations they are used – it is named ambient and psycho-folk. It is a live, warm matter, and it bears a long, tangible, contemplative feeling – of coziness, growth, flow...
Domestic price: 390.60UAH, International price: $27.90USD

Andrey Kiritchenko, Francisco Lopez. Mavje.


...his space does not wait till you make the first step – it shrouds you at once, leads, rolls, pushes unnoticeably – warm air over tarred railroad ties – and you do not dive and do not enter, but at once... you stay here so as if it has been and is and will be so – naturally – you are there, you find, you know...
Domestic price: 306.60UAH, International price: $21.90USD

The Moglass, Andrey Kiritchenko, Anla Courtis. Courtis/Kiritchenko/Moglass.


The one who accumulated spaces for one track plays the guitar for another track, and from the others' sounding creates something third in the fourth track – they switch places, roles, world... There arises a strange feeling – you seem to see familiar things, but in unfamiliar combinations, at unexpected angles.
Domestic price: 306.60UAH, International price: $21.90USD

Critical. Graphorrhea.


..having paid attention to the black-and-white design of the cover, also pay attention to that actually it is saturated with delicate patterns of various degrees of complication. Just as the content of the disc – it is only at first sight that it seems rather simple... However, gradually – almost unnoticeably but persistently – the number of lines, layers, bands, aftersounds, parallel and independent steps grows.
