As far as I know, this is a debut album of this group. And as far as I can see, this album puts one question in front of listeners, namely: what should we expect from the group that starts so mightily? There may be three answers to this question. The first one is unpleasant as the first album will be the last one as well. The second one will be pleasant. The initial level is high enough to expect from the next album or albums to produce an explosive effect. As for the third one, personally I like it most of all. It is the following: the first album is a convincing evidence of the fact that this group is capable of making experiments deeply and finely through mixing ethno, acid, trance, rock and fly-agaric and at the same time remembering the taste. Still, even the vocal singing deserves your attention, to say nothing about the rest of music. And it means that in future we should expect interesting search and sudden discoveries. Though, I must admit, both search and discoveries already exist now, right in this album. Get acquainted.

..it sounds as if somewhere at a rather strange intersection of indie/alt-rock/dark cabaret, without going into any of these territories explicitly, fully. And this is how, one step away from the clear line, they are forming their own space: broken, stormy and muffled, painfully sharp and – seemingly conscious of its mirages.

..despite the relatively exotic terminology, these songs focus on such simple and complex, fundamental things in their inclusiveness: Life. Death. The path. The forest of ideas. In the album "Shaman", Merva weaves densely – and amplifies this with the corresponding sound range, which by no means inspires relaxation.

With their second album, Pins reinforce the impression that the group does not agree to the role of a simple mirror. To see, think, understand – and seek. They may not always find – but do not stop. Eventually, perhaps, no answer is final – the more one gets to know, the more one has to cognize.

If one has a look at the song titles – one would think that the meeting with the music would be quite … predictable, probably. But this distance impression changes to some extent once you start listening. In fact, perhaps, the main surprise is how softly electronics and progressive rock are combined here.

This album leaves an interesting feeling – as if one has heard three in one. A sort of "arrivederci" to the previous album, completely different aesthetics. But it is only the first half (including by timing) of the disk. Next is "Black Church" – through which one may already recall that Stoned Jesus started with vintage rock...

..the debut mini-album by the Kyiv group "Kraamola". Despite the relatively small content – four songs plus a bonus – the work definitely manages to catch with its energy, a powerful message. And it's not just that the music is heavy – thus, by definition, it is tense, charged with energy.

"Anna" has released a truly thoughtful piece. The powerful sounding and the characteristic vocal – all of that is clear, this is familiar, but I'd like to separately mention two other aspects. First – the new lyrics of the group carry even more semantic meaning. And, second, this is, actually, construction of the compositions..

We wanted to introduce this album here for several reasons at once. First, it has an interesting general concept – as can be seen from its name already, the album is devoted to the matters that for many decades have been helping people to kill – both each other, and oneself. Secondly – these texts do touch with their merciless straightforwardness, frankness of evaluations, bitter irony.

"Kley.Mo" is the answer that Tol gave to itself to its own question. For about a year prior to release of this disc the group declared that it would be on vacations – and it was far not a sure fact that it would ever get back on the scene. But the period of silence has passed, and Tol has not only returned to performances, but has also presented fresh material.

Artistic tools of alternative music, expressive male vocal with a number of emotional tints, introduction into the body of the songs of singing in the authentic manner, extraordinarily appropriate sounding of folk winds – all of that creates a very saturated, literally electrified atmosphere. It is in this connection that it's nice to note that lyrics of the songs in no way yield to the music.

..topics of songs by Opozicia cover an extensive range of themes. And, strictly speaking, Christian morality is the foundation, not a flag. That is why in the group's texts it is possible to hear a great number of poignant social issues – these guys are not afraid to admit that problems exist, they are not afraid to give them their true names.

Thus, a cradle... Let's see, maybe, something extraordinary will really appear from this cradle to the light of the day. In any case, there are preconditions for optimism for sure. During the three years of its existence, the group has had enough time to attain both a nice quality of the material, and, the main thing, their own manner.

There is in all that music some adult thing that lets one know – nothing occasional, toy-like happens here. Adult guys create adult songs and drink beer in the adult way (even if they do not drink it). Leather jeans should be somewhere at hand

It is not that Ukraine has few serious, heavy rock groups – they exist, and new ones constantly appear, and more and more actively. But far not each group manages to furnish their appearance on the large scene in such a high-quality, noted and convincing way as the group White has managed. However, maybe, it is logical...

...cocktails by Gogol Bordello become more transparent. Not so much quiet, rather – more considered, balanced internally. It seems to be a carnival of weird masks, behind which the simple idea lurks: no one makes you agree to everyday mediocrity. You can do it – otherwise.

"Kozak System" offers a bright mixture of modern and folk poetry, powerful rock, ska-punk with insertions of reggae, and everything is kept together by the serious frame of the Ukrainian folk root. In short - you should meet them again.

Perkalaba unexpectedly, without any announcement produced its third album. Well, and it was right to do that – it has been long time already that we've been willing to hear something new from the spheres of absurd folk, and Perkalaba still stays virtually the main Ukrainian guide in the wilderness of these unexplored paths and ladders.

Yurcash really was not going to disappoint all those whom he managed to surprise so positively. The second album is also a sort of a "hodgepodge" of different, almost incompatible styles and moods, from hardcore to acid chanson. Though, there are now fewer "heavy" music remarks – however, it does not seem to be a severe loss. And the banter in the texts – has become more varied, diversified.

Perkalaba has managed what seems impossible – to merge folk-ska and psychedelics, not forgetting about banter as well. Both in music and in the lyrics. Movement in this direction took place before, but now it has acquired even brighter, more expressive features. And this, you know, takes you away. If it goes on...

The group "VV" has recently celebrated the 20th anniversary of their creative life – and have released a new album. The age is respectable not only for a group – even for a person it is already quite a lot. One can – and should – sum up some results and draw conclusions. Actually, the album "There Were the Days" has become this kind of summarizing.

The overwhelming majority of songs are Ukrainian folk songs known to everybody. But you may never have heard them being performed in such a manner so far. If we mix this cuisine up on hard and forceful guitar reefs, as well as on violent drums, we will get a cocktail that blows up right before our eyes.

Для суміші таких стилів запис доволі якісний, там же-ж все практично синтезоване... принаймі не бубнить не гудить і не цикає..., а голос вокалістки то окрема тема... Альбом суперський і вартий того, щоб бути у домашній колекції активно прослуховуваним!

Мені здалося, що звук не дужи якісний. Тіпа не вистачає професійності. Але в тому то і вся фішка, в тому то і професіоналізм - показати те, чого немає!

Досить специфічна суміш готики, техно, ейсіду, ембіенту і бозна ще чого. Не для щоденного прослуховування.
Але, без сумніву, оригінальний і самобутній диск.
Наступний їхній альбом, якщо він вийде, буде куплено мною з явним задоволенням.

Загалом не поганий альбом, дуже не поганий, але є й недоліки зі зведенням, вокальної партії майже не чути. Було б дуже добре якщо це прочитають автори :)

I was absolutely impressed with the album. I've heard some of Ivan Zabaluyev's other projects, like No Fly Zone, and this one is the best sounding of the lot. I actually enjoyed the mix of jazz and other styles into the mix, making it something unique in a scene that normally produces a good deal of "sameness." I hope they get more recognition soon.

Знаєте, до того як, я придбав цей альбом, в мене не було улюбленої групи, але тепер впевнено можу сказати, так Вінки мої улюблені! „...Інна має дуже яскравий і своєрідний голос а також знає силу-силенну українських народних та обрядових пісень...” – чесно кажучи, саме це робить їх музику, неймовірно потужною, та живою. Слова зайві, купляйте та насолоджуйтесь! Можливо і вам пощастить, та Вінки, вразять вас глибоко, та стануть першими, хто прийде відповіддю, на питання, „яка група най улюбленіша?”.

I bought this album on the strength of Vinky's two tracks on the Ukrainian Gothic vol 1 compilation. I admit that I was slightly disappointed. The album as a whole I find a bit too avant garde for me, a bit too jazz... I have simple tastes. Still it is good, but I expected more. I will, however, keep one eye on this band.

Сила!!! Поважаю! Перший місяць відтоді як купив диск тільки його і слухав. Але погано, що до альбому не ввійшли "Щедрик", "Стій", "Ранок", "Човен"... І забагато реміксів. "Весільна" №5 - наздвичайно потужна річ!!! Така музика мені дуже до серця, вона зайвий раз доводить, що депресивна аура в мисецтві має право на існування :)

Дуже сильний альбом. Наші етнорокери, здається, трохи тупцюють на місці, тому добре, що Вінки знайшли свіжий підхід до цього матеріалу.
