Electronic Alternative

Skryabin and others.

A la Ru. to be.


Actually, disco could sound like this if it were given to a DJ who has already been sweating for two or three hours at the rack but has not yet lost the ability and inclination to experiment. That is why quite organically Arabic and African percussions and Jamaican rhythms, as well as "black" reciting and the "submarine" atmosphere are intertwined into the general canvas – for this is lounge, and diversified one.

Karbido, Yuri Andrukhovych. Absinthe. /super-pack/. (CD+DVD).


...a mysterious story of Stanislaus Perfecki – a poet, a traveler, and a performer who embarks upon a journey from Lviv to the West, and ultimately emerges in Venice, the City of Ghosts. There, he experiences a series of incredible adventures and falls in love with Ada Cytryna, his interpretress. Being forced to part with his beloved woman and unable to fulfil his special top secret mission, Perfecki vanishes..

Boombox. Seredniy vik. /digi-pack/. (Middle Age)


The new album by Boombox is another very significant reason to mention the year 2011 as one of the most yielding years for the non-ordinary Ukrainian popular music. No doubt – despite the title, "Middle Age", no crisis is in question here. On the contrary.

Vinky. Ruta-M'yata.


...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...

Olena Hrebenjuk. "Le Forze Del Destino" project. /digi-pack/


I do not know whether I will grow fond of opera, but I really like this disc. In this case, modernization, fortunately, does not mean vulgarization. The sound is so soft, mild, deep that it is impossible to come off it.
Domestic price: 250.60UAH, International price: $17.90USD

Green Grey. Glaz leoparda. /digi-pack/. (The Leopard's Eye)


Green Grey decided not to abandon the combination of electronic music with rock aesthetics – though, now there is somehow more of the latter, so one can hardly attribute this music to the light one. The elements of dubstep and hardcore are far not the only ones in this puzzle...
Domestic price: 250.60UAH, International price: $17.90USD

Gutzul Magik Foundation. Molfar. /digi-pack/.


"Molfar", I guess, is about the fact that there is no difference where from and where to, because there as always here-and-now. Where there is no place for hope – hope requires memory and time – and here all the space is occupied with.. attention? I do not even know – you stay in this space while the album plays on, and then this space just plays on in you..

Dazzle Dreams Sound System. Nepal. (CD+DVD).


On February, 21, 2008, the folklore expedition of the project Dazzle Dreams Sound System left for Nepal. The primary objective of the project is searching and recording of countries' ethnic music – music samples, accumulation of an original record library and its integration into their own music. During one week, the guys accumulated a great number of original samples, and they became part of new tracks by Dazzle Dreams.

Dazzle Dreams. Diva. /digi-pack/.


..this is a step towards club music that is absolutely able to live outside of clubs – an attempt to hint at something more meaningful than just mysterious entourage. An attempt is successful – there is the style, there is the taste. Finally, the new album to some extent may be considered as a return to aesthetics of the first album...
Domestic price: 236.60UAH, International price: $16.90USD

Dazzle Dreams. (Go! Go! Go!) Disco killers.


...the second album by Dazzle Dreams is a bright experiment in the domain of dance music. Because, honestly speaking, this dance music can be considered rather highbrow one – at all events, the desire to move often yields to the desire to just listen attentively. However, it surprisingly does not reduce the general drive charge of the album – simply shifts it to some other, not so habitual plane.

Dark Patrick. Rise of the Underworld. /mini-pack/.


..It’s hard to pinpoint exact influences that aptly mirror what Dark Patrick is going for here, though a safe bet would want to include nods to numerous strata of organic electronica, soundtrack ambient, world ethnotronica, psych and trip-hop. Additionally, the band claims some affiliation to the fertile soils of reggae, dub and trance...

Der Neustuck Orchester. Underground Horse.


Acquaintance simultaneous with farewell, and consequently – endless and vanishing, with all possible plenitude of emptine... A strange black-and-white flower that one needs to break in order to see all colors of the spectrum on the stem fracture. In an instant a drop of night juice oozes there..
Domestic price: 348.60UAH, International price: $24.90USD

De Shifer. Spalahnuv...2005.


...the original combination of rap, hip-hop and heavy-metal gives "De Shifer" the opportunity to even today not only keep pace with others, but also to be in the avant-garde of modern Ukrainian music.
Domestic price: 208.60UAH, International price: $14.90USD

Dollheads. Dollheads.


...it seems that nothing of the kind has yet been released on Ukrainian alternative scene. At that, this refers to alternative of the two directions at once – both rock- and electronic one. Because, as known, Dollheads actively engage in their music electronic devices – in the end, this is heard distinctly. But at that the group plays – live.

Zavoloka. Vedana. /eco-pack/.


It is exploration of Water Element. It is inspired by knowledge about Ukrainian Cossacks-Magicians, so-called Kharakternyky, that could control forces of nature, particularly water. They used to drink spring water to purify their energy and to became undistinguished and fluid as water. To reach inner melting.
Domestic price: 250.60UAH, International price: $17.90USD

Zavoloka. Viter. (EP). /eco-pack/.


...And now it is that subtle dancing music which excites the desire not to dance but to listen carefully. Of course it doesn’t deny dancing) What is more, it’s full of interesting acoustic effects and live performance makes the musical canvas clear, fresh and very warm at the same time.
Domestic price: 250.60UAH, International price: $17.90USD

Ivan Samshit. Essential Shit. /digi-pack/


Electronic romances, dances full of sense, transcendental lyrics of clearances between worlds, enchanted and warm immersion in evening snow... Ivan Samshit – strange knights of the transparent autumn of urban stones. Sometimes it seems that the very enigma of the night before the dawn speaks to us through the voice of Petro Dain...
Domestic price: 250.60UAH, International price: $17.90USD

ILLaria. 13 misyatsiv. /digi-pack/. (13 Months)


...Ukrainian authenticity is primarily the mystical energy of the earth and the complete harmony with the space. This is very powerful music! The new disc by ILLARIA is a kind of a calendar of Ukrainian music traditions. It includes cover versions of well-known folk songs based on authentic archival records.
Domestic price: 250.60UAH, International price: $17.90USD

Qarpa. & I made a Man. /digi-pack/.


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...
Domestic price: 306.60UAH, International price: $21.90USD

Qarpa. inZhYR. /digi-pack/


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 three albums – including this, new one – surprised ears of the audience hear more and more banter, quite hard and psychotropic electronic alternative.
Domestic price: 460.60UAH, International price: $32.90USD

Andrey Kiritchenko, Saralunden. There was no end. (EP).


Just an ideal balance between affability to the listener and self-absorbed contemplation. Conditionally, a sort of semi-acoustic, minimalist trip-hop. But far not any trip-hop would afford so much fresh, transparent air in sounding as here.
Domestic price: 250.60UAH, International price: $17.90USD

Lama. Nazavzhdy... (CD+DVD). /digi-pack/. (For Ever...)


..In the album, one can definitely sense Lama's branded style. Another characteristic is its folk melodies, the Ukrainian musical roots. It is built on harmonies of our people.

Luk. Sex.


In this music, there is something of photosynthesis – it also converts sun energy into force and joy of growth and oxygen for friends and other neighbors. With it, everything happens simply and easily – the morning, walk, work and avoiding work, kiss and the first pot of tea, night on the balcony and snow...
Domestic price: 320.60UAH, International price: $22.90USD

Luk. Tourist Zone.


Eccentricities, sure, differ. This one is entirely positive. Though, sometimes there is a temporary confidence that "Luk" creates music that stays somewhat aloof from our reality. But it does not prevent it from smiling – and our reality starts smiling back...
Domestic price: 320.60UAH, International price: $22.90USD

Mamanet. Ki-Mono.


Festivals of electronic music, jazz, rock – everywhere this group feels comfortable, and now it is even testing its ability to create music for films. Mamanet offers to the audience an intellectually energetic, strangely bewitching mixture of trip-hop, acid-jazz, post-rock, drum'n'bass and even disco – it is far not possible to define the group's art with some concrete word.
Domestic price: 250.60UAH, International price: $17.90USD

the Maneken. Soulmate Sublime. /digi-pack/.


The Maneken is a unique artist who works in one of the most trendy areas of the contemporary music – the electronic rock. Using music styles as "clothes" for decoration of his music ideas, he has created several unique "collections", which have its fans not only in CIS countries, but also in Europe and the USA.

Mind Shredder. Mindless Puppets. /digi-pack/.


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

Molotov 20, Marta Shpak. Osiayni. The modern treatment of traditional Ukrainian folk music. /digi-pack/. (Enlighted)


Rhythms of "Osiayni" bewitch with their soft, silent pace. Marta, in her turn, also obviously appears here not by chance. Her voice has a very interesting feature – it somehow inexplicably combines in itself the past and the future. It seems to be native – and somehow not from here.
Domestic price: 390.60UAH, International price: $27.90USD

Alex Nademski, ILLaria. Podykh. /digi-pack/. (Breath)


It is Alex Nademski who is the author of the project – and, in particular, of all the lyrics and the music (although he says he only recorded what came to him). ILLaria is a "guest star," the voice. Still, when one listens, it's hard to say whose role is the leading one – the both worked at their full capacity, that's sure.
Domestic price: 348.60UAH, International price: $24.90USD

2sleepy. Art Fraud. /digi-pack/


Surprisingly soft, lyric, even tender rock music wrapped in multiplayer electronic diaper... Absolute correspondence to the name of the group. So delicate balancing on that rim of a dream, where colors are childishly bright, but contours have already been washed out with lolling of quiet waves – it charms from the first second, as if petals of a night campfire. One feels it as rough warmth of a knitted sweater...
Domestic price: 306.60UAH, International price: $21.90USD

Nikita. ChamelEon.


She as though plays, but so sincerely as only children can – she does not pretend but really lives in it. And that is why – you trust it. Such discs are as if clothes of a Transparent Gipsy. Now beautiful – and then just fanciful. Made of a thousand shreds, each of them having its own story...
Domestic price: 250.60UAH, International price: $17.90USD

NIK_TO. ChronoMaster.


I recommend not to do anything for some time, there is a nice alternative. Without exaggeration and flattery – discs by exactly this man can be called original electronic symphonies, and I am not sure that there are analogues of this phenomenon in Ukraine.
Domestic price: 250.60UAH, International price: $17.90USD

NIK_TO. Open.


This is as if an ocean liner flows in the large water: sharp sounds of dancing music echo from some deck, in the wardroom one hears laughter and an intellectual cabaret surprises, and from the hold mysterious sounds of invisible but saturated motions are meantime heard. While all around there is always – only the dark sky, salty air and the water that you see neither the edge nor the bottom of...
Domestic price: 250.60UAH, International price: $17.90USD

NIK_TO. The Flora.


What color will it be – salty, as the sea, green, as life, or boundless, as the sky? We’ll see... Anyway, this album has free internal horizons – thus, one cannot grasp, embrace everything at the first try...
Domestic price: 250.60UAH, International price: $17.90USD

NimB. NimB.


Atmospheric guitars, the melodiousness of the bass, separate patterns of the percussion against the background of the not always unambiguous main rhythms – and the interwoven braids of the characteristic, emotional vocal by Olena Sas, crystal-clean and warm at the same time. It might seem that everything is simple – but this is sort of correct, saturated simplicity that makes it transparent and soft inside..
Domestic price: 200.20UAH, International price: $14.30USD

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

Pianoboy. Take Off. /premium edition, digi-pack/.


..intertwining love for the music of the 1960-70s, and the ability to speak modern, at the intersection of styles. With the taste for styling tricks – to speak one's own language. Actually, Pianoboy manages to combine in one bottle magnitude – and seclusion, intimacy.
Domestic price: 348.60UAH, International price: $24.90USD

Ptakh_Jung. Black Period. /digi-pack/.


..as a matter of fact, Ptakh_Jung's music turns out to be a great accompaniment for reflections, contemplation, because there is enough peace, and dynamism. One could say that the Black Period album is an ambient that dives into post-rock and emerges in neoclassicism – in an arbitrary order. Or one could say that the stratification of spaces..
Domestic price: 306.60UAH, International price: $21.90USD

Skryabin. Khrobak. (re-edition). /digi-pack/. (Worm)


There is quite a great temptation to consider "Worm" a turning point album in Skryabin's work. At all events, against the background of all previous works it stands absolutely aloof. Skryabin abandons the light, dancing direction and, to a certain extent, goes back to the initial gloomy style – but already at a different quality level...
Domestic price: 264.60UAH, International price: $18.90USD

Stoned Jesus. Seven Thunders Roar. /digi-pack/.


This is something new, born due to deep immersion into the old – perhaps, that is why the press release states: "Stoned Jesus play vintage rock in the best tradition of the '70s, inspired not only by heavy blues, early progressive and classical psychedelics, but even grunge, stoner and post-hardcore of the '90s"...
Domestic price: 348.60UAH, International price: $24.90USD

Huljajhorod, Tartak. Kofein.


The new variant, I think, is to unite those who liked "Guliaygorod" at once – and those to whom it then seemed a bit too hard. Because the engine remains as powerful as before, besides the specificity of aerodynamics are now taken into account in the outlines, they have become smoother and swifter, but inside there are now much more cozy nooks. Result – both the speed and comfort have grown.
Domestic price: 460.60UAH, International price: $32.90USD

Tartak. Pershyj komercijnyj. /digi-pack/


...on the one hand we have renewed arrangements of famous compositions – but on the other hand we have the quality that does not storm from without, but sprouts inside of a listener...
Domestic price: 278.60UAH, International price: $19.90USD

Tik Tu. Shuma. /digi-pack/.


It is hard to believe that all this amazing lace was created by just three individuals – the matter, given the saturation, is the precision of every line, every stroke. And in addition to this rather dense, rich basis, there's a whole bunch of decoration sounds. If you have been looking for inadvertently solar indie – this is a rare case of it, definitely.
Domestic price: 306.60UAH, International price: $21.90USD

Faktychno Sami. Kosmichnyj vakuum. (Space Vacuum)


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...
Domestic price: 306.60UAH, International price: $21.90USD

Faktychno Sami. Lo-Fi TRavmy.


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.
Domestic price: 306.60UAH, International price: $21.90USD

The Hardkiss. Perfection Is a Lie. /premium, eco-pack/.


..Even in the ballads – this inner power cannot be hidden, it can be perceived almost physically. Perfection is a lie, of course – but nobody forbids strive and work for it. The Hardkiss is obviously one of those who aspire and work hard.
Domestic price: 306.60UAH, International price: $21.90USD

4.A.J.K.A. Aerodinamika.


...due to the dub basis and electronic "sparkles" 4.A.J.K.A  creates an interesting, energetically twilight atmosphere – here, we bow to trip-hop – but. Some guitar motions, as well as the trumpet, in spite of such "twilightness" of sounding – fill the music with extra fragile light, do not let it submerge irreversibly into the dark depths.
Domestic price: 250.60UAH, International price: $17.90USD

Younnat. Ryba.


Despite the fact that Oleh Serdyuk (Younnat) is the keyboard player of the band Luk – or maybe right because of that – the world sees already his second solo album. This time on the physical medium. And it’s great that it was issued, as Oleh creates interesting, ambiguous music..
