Aby MC. Green. The modern treatment of traditional Ukrainian folkmusik. /digi-pack/ // www.UMKA.com.ua

You yourselves might have noticed that this disc is a relative to the album "Korali", which is red in colour as well. Well, such kind of fraternizing is not only exterior, as here the matter concerns the search in a direction, which personally I find to be very interesting. After all, now we, mankind, have a great number of fragments and snatches of old systems and means of the world perception, and it concerns music as much as it concerns many other things. But today it is not enough for us, modern people, only to observe those fragments and to expose them to critical analysis. We need something else – empathy or living old experience again through modern means. In this connection, I think that modern interpretation of the traditional Ukrainian music, which is presented in this album, is one of the steps not only forward, but also deep down. In the first place - deep down. As for me, this attempt seems to be a success. If this attempt is not the last one – and I do hope that this is not the last one – then even we, average listeners, will soon have a very interesting ticket to travel to the city centre. It's quite another matter where we shall go – each person chooses the direction by himself. At long last, all roads lead you know where. "Green" – it is nice. I do recommend.

CAMATA. Fire-show.

If music of the album were not interesting, even then this release would be worth buying – for the sake of the booklet, because it is a separate transparent trip. However, we a lucky – the music also opens for us something new indeed. Or, maybe, you know other works in the style of "Carpathians new-age with elements of ethnic jazz"?

Shopping Hour. The Worldest Music. /digi-pack/

I listened to it in a transparent evening, listened at the crazy three o'clock in the morning, listened during a lazy siesta – this music fits everything, as the aroma of truly fresh tea fits clear thoughts. About such music, it is necessary to write not words, but pictures – and preferably four-dimension one...

Aby MC. Ocetni standarty. (Acid Standards)

They strikingly harmoniously combine clear sorrow, sadness – with joy as clear. And that is why there is inside always a place left for light. Usually, children have this ability – and it does not matter how old they are...

Vezi. Voice of the Vepsland. /digi-pack/

The trip in store for us is blue-eyed, smooth and deep, so get into the corresponding mood. Electronic patterns, archaic singing and the noise of water – that is external surroundings, only the three basic elements. But the internal content is virtually boundless.
