Kroky. Volodar Tajemnyts‘. (Lord of Secrets)

In Ukraine, development of Christian music is only spinning up now – at least about 10 years ago it was difficult enough to imagine that this kind of discs would be released here. On the other hand... The group Kroky (Steps) stands out for two reasons. First – against the general background, as creativity of the group is subordinated to ideas not quite typical for lyric underground. And to continue – the group advantageously differs even against the background of their trend colleagues. Honestly speaking, if that ambiguous phenomenon that is conditionally named Christian rock more often had such an attractive appearance as here – this would be just great. For, I am sure, no religious beliefs can prevent one from listening to Indian ragas with pleasure – because this is, at least, simply beautiful. The same is here – this is a really beautiful, light album, and it seems to me that it is able to cause positive emotions only. At the condition of interlocutors' tolerance, certainly... Religious views of the musicians are their personal business. But if it helps them to create really nice, harmonious music – we have nothing left but being glad for that. And then, actually, already our – listeners' – work starts. To experience, realize – to understand that each of us follows his/her own way, and dignity of our ways does not depend on anybody but us.
