If you are by chance not in the swim: Qarpa is the very group that was called Faktychno Sami before. This changing of the name is more than logical, because the front-woman of the group – Irena Karpa – has become during the recent few years a real multimedia person. She sings in the group, and professionally writes-publishes prose, and acts as an anchorwomen on TV, and sometimes amuses herself with travel journalism – in short, she manages everything and everywhere. Unambiguously she knows how to be ambiguous. It is difficult to say where from in this fragile girl there is such an enormous amount of kinetic energy – we have nothing but to observe with sincere fascination how the dissected waves fall on the both sides of the selected course... And the course is such that in the last albums – including this, new one – surprised ears of the audience hear more and more banter, quite hard and psychotropic electronic alternative. If you compare that with trip-hop, there is much more of trip (not to mix it up with a tramp or tripper!!) here, than of hop (please, do not mix this up with anything either...). And if you do not compare – that is just powerful and merry, varied and a bit reckless. Not so merry that one would explode – but as in the anecdote, when "no, thanks, it does not hurt – however, only when I laugh". This eccentric, bitterish humor impresses – with the "who cares" and sharp contrasts. In the end, this is bright anti-glamour – at that, almost glamour one. The border is thin – and, actually, the more interesting it is to follow that. Anton Yozhyk Leyba (Hedgehog)

This time "Fayno" once again offer their own lyrics and songs based on poems by such interesting and distinguished authors as Lazutkin, Lyubka, Honchar, Kiyanovska, Moskalets, etc. These interpretations are always interesting to listen to – at least, because the accents sometimes sound very different...

The first fourteen customers will receive this disc signed by Irena Karpa! the new album from Qarpa Band is the music of the world which does not exist. It does not exist outside big cities, the Web, the utter interpenetration of cultures, and dilution of borders. This is the voice woven out of thousand voice...

Given the impression that it is able to produce – it is even a pity that out of the three albums by the group, only this – "Poisoned Dreams" – has been released on physical media. Powerful stuff – and not only due to the style. Although, sure, high-quality performance of heavy music – it is always interesting. But here it is also about the contrast...

..there are increasingly more "problem-free" songs. Perhaps, it is just a way of self-defense – but "Postsense" protects itself otherwise. This group – attacks. Does not turn away, does not invent politically correct formula. They call unpleasant things their proper names – so, their album is not for those seeking for alienated comfort.

Alternative music? – yes, this is it. Sympho-rock – yes, moreover, already now the group feels very confident in this sense, works at a large scale. Gothic? – yes, this is exactly the word that is the first to occur, if one speaks about the atmosphere as a whole, and about some texts in particular. Melodious heavy metal? – this, obviously, was the basis from which what we hear now grows.

Yanka Kozyr Orchestra not simply create music – they create their own mystery of sound, live and bright. And the music matter appears here so saturated, dense, enriched that it seems that it is visible, one can touch it, one can breathe it under water...

lately it is well-aimed – a distracting blow on mind, a sort of that it is a logical riddle – but actually all this is directed at the emotional body, and in order to understand and get penetrated with it – it is not necessary to understand. the other way round, you should not understand – and then everything becomes clear. in a nutshell – zen. somewhat technogenic entourage...

Here, city nervousness, sharpness surprisingly intersect – with rootedness in some most ancient cultural layers. Yanka seems to not even sing, but practice witchcraft – and she does not copy known standards, but just takes her skills from some primary source. Not that she revives – rather, gives birth anew to some mystic passageways between the world...

Sometimes – and you never know the next step this group will make - it is a real alternative. You see, an alternative simply means an open possibility of choice, an unlimited amount of possibilities.

I would call this music hard blues – but do not get surprised when you hear in it surprisingly transparent trip-hop mood. It would seem that these both styles could hardly be called optimistic. Conditional minus. But, as it happens from time to time, minus to minus has given us an unexpected, but so warm, intimate plu...

Ірена Карпа і КОМПАНІЯ, як завжди порадували і здивували. Мене проперли такі твори: SEX, Lady Du, Клей, &if U Don' Love Me, Очі Твої, Мантра. Інші теж симпатичні. Всім, хто купив цей диск - великий респект і привіт!!!

This album rocks! I don't understand the Ukrainian lyrics, but I don't care. The gripping music and edgy vibe of each song transcends the language barrier. Sometimes I wish that I did understand the lyrics, because I imagine that my enjoyment of the music would be enriched, but the acoustic experience stands on its own two feet. The experience of listening to this album as pure sound is satisfying enough for me to want more of Qarpa. Dya kuyu!

Ірена перевиршила саму себе! Такого потужного драйву від пісень давно не відчував! Дуже раджу послухати всім, хто цікавиться подібною музикою. Безперечно, це один з найкращих музичних альбомів за останній час.
Дякую Qarpa!!! Великий респєкт і уважуха! ;-)))
