Finally, we have it – the Ukrainian release of the joint album by Yuri Andruhovych and the researchers into psycho-music from Karbido group saw the light of the day. A strange mixture of ethno-jazz, dub, avant-garde rock and ironically sarcastic melodic recitals – no, this list of ingredients, in actual fact, explains nothing. One should listen to it – and this, at least, should once be heard. Better – more than once.

Strange as it may appear, but you’ll find a good deal of novelties on the disc – the songs that have never been released before. And personally I consider them to be just wonderful songs. Anyway, the famous works also warm the heart. This is like it often happens with cronies whose close relationship doesn’t depend on circumstances. All this makes not a compilation but an album of a full value with incredibly crystal, lyrical and high spirits.

This is simultaneously the simplest and the most complicated format – there is nothing but the guitar and voice, and you either sound or you'd better not even start... "Acoustics" is the last real album by Vasyl Gontarsky, the fifth one. No others will follow. If everyone left behind so fair traces – the land would shine under our feet...

Various synthesis is, actually, a characteristic sign of music by Vognesmih – as it has two powerful grounds. One is rock sounding, strong, deep, modern. The second is the ethnic component, which is based on the pleasantly extensive palette of authentic instruments.

Johnny Bardo is a solo project, a sort of an alter ego of Louis Franck, the leader of Esthetic Education. A bright, interesting project – no doubt. You should listen to one or two tracks only to make sure: everything is made in a talented, delicious, high-quality way. The project found its realization after Louis' return from a trip to India..

How many people, having first heard the songs "In the Country of Illusions" and "No", decided that they should certainly buy-listen to the new disc by Dymna Sumish? I think, more than one thousand. How many of them will be disappointed having bought-listened to this disc? I think, none – Dymna Sumish, sure, is one of the most interesting groups on the Ukrainian independent scene.

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...

If I am not mistaken, Luis Armstrong has told, that he could sing even the phone book. "The Dead Cock" has expressed in the same way after record of this album. And you know what? They really could. Nevertheless, it is good that they didn't.

...This time we can see appearance of something that, it seems, has never before happened in the space of modern Ukrainian music. It is difficult and even virtually impossible to call "Criminal Sonnets" a reaction to such phenomenon as modern Russian chanson (or simpler – the rogue song). It is not just more elevated, it is – even better – different. Refined and simple, grotesque and life-like at the same time...

...the album again suggests the idea that the war for independence of Ukraine that started dozens of years ago – lasts till now. And now even more than ever before it is opposition of identities – because external, political and geographic independence is worth nothing unless it is founded on internal freedom. To quote the song – "...to be oneself and to be proud".

Even their texts alone would already be quite sufficient to advantageously stand out against the majority – no doubt. This, if you wish, already really looks like rock poetry. Well, and plus – actually the music. Two bright constituents perfectly merge in it. On the one hand, this is powerful rock. On the other – warm freshness arising due to participation of not quite ordinary, as for rock, instruments matters here – a pan-pipe, accordion, domra.

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...

Here it is – real, serious, exact. You know, about such dicks one is both eager and reluctant to speak – they bend to one's soul with their curves so that words become almost superfluous. But it is also desirable to keep quiet about such things only eye-to-eye, in order to by all means share one's feeling, warmth, acceptance.

It is quite a rare phenomenon – at least, as of today: an album of songs devoted to UPA (Ukrainian Insurgent Army). Exactly an album, not a collection – as, for only one exception, authors' songs composed by our contemporaries sound here. However, in this case it is not strange – because Rutenia has never been indifferent to patriotic ideas.

The songs to Taras Shevchenko’s poems are performed very often, to put it mildly, and the styles of performance are different. That’s why it is twice pleasant that there are people who are able to perform it in such a way that the feeling of freshness and lightness might appear.

The whole album is perceived at one go, as an integral harmonious composition, not a collection of well-matched fragments. This is something so personal and, at the same time, universal – as field flowers, whose beauty does not impose itself on anybody, but warms everyone who is not lazy and looks – to be surprised...

This album by the “Fajno” group was called one of the most expected debuts the recent months – I agree – that was worth expecting. We can say at once that another good rock-group has appeared in Ukrainian broadcast.

For me their music immediately resembles Irish fairy and Scotch shee. This is the second album of Fl¸ur. I do advise you to listen to it together with the first one. Each of these two is all-sufficient, but it does not hamper them to be a single whole.

The collection is – the songs for it were selected not by the musicians, but by the audience by voting on the Net. Consequently – it is approximately so, in the opinion of the majority of fans, that a concert of "Fleur" must look like at present. The concert in which each next song immerses you even deeper, even more attentively, more transparently.

...today, when Fleur's music creativity is by and by going through considerable transformations – the value of such rarities, sure, increases. In the end, it has always been interesting to track Fleur's work – but only now everyone without exception is in the position to make sure that the start was no less interesting than the continuation.
