Mekhanichny Apel'syn. Boichutsky Blues.
It looks hardly possible that the name "Mehanichny Apelsyn" ("Clockwork Orange") directly relates to the oeuvre by Burgess: otherwise, it would be quite possible that the group would play a mixture of sort of glam-trash-heavy-punk – wouldn't it? Although that's not a fact. However, "Mehanichny Apelsyn" (originating from the very Boryslav, which laughs) performs a different – maybe, classic – mixture: blues, rock-and-roll and big beat, and they immediately state that in the first lines of the first song. Here, we should mention that the group had its start as long ago as in 1992 – an old school, according to Ukrainian standards. Young ones almost no longer play such music – so far – and that's a pity. There is in this sounding something very nostalgic, honest – and not only familiar, "native" melodies constructions. Listen to the vocal, that is the real hoarse voice, not the pretension sweetish hoarseness – and, possibly, it is for this reason that it inspires some subconscious confidence. And the texts – there is no fog, quasi-metaphysics, peacocking. In blues, everything must be simple – and everything is simple indeed. By the way, speaking about blues. A few songs on the album (for example, "Nobody Likes Us Here") seem to be a transparent curtsy for the "Russian rock" of the eightieth, more precisely – addressed to one of master of heavy blues Mike Naumenko, the best one of the underground of that time. Thus, if there are things you'd like to go back to, this album may become quite a good "time machine", which will softly carry you 20, or even more years back. When everything was simple. Not because there were no complications, but just because this is – youth.

Arlett. Arlett. /digi-pack/.


..Eventually, the debut album by Arlett generally somehow avoids excesses, sticks to certain mainstream – which, incidentally, has its zest. It is read as being without a mask, simple expression, a sort of a light conversation. Due to which, probably, there will be a chance and the will for a deeper conversation.
Domestic price: 222.60UAH, International price: $15.90USD

Dyki Sertsem. Bez zayvykh sliv. /digi-pack/. (Without Further Ado)


..The key issues covered in the texts are the request for people to have trust in their power, to help people around, to value beloved ones, to smile at every day, to learn from old mistakes, and most importantly – to be themselves.
Domestic price: 222.60UAH, International price: $15.90USD

Okean Elzy. Gloria. /re-edition, digi-pack/.


...the quality of the album – yes – deserves compliments. May be, for the sake of that it was worth while changing the group members – with the exception of Guru, of course. Now it is interesting what will happen next. Because judging by ears – to be continued.
Domestic price: 250.60UAH, International price: $17.90USD

Mekhanichny Apel'syn. Tsyrk kvitiv. (The Circus of Flowers)


...their second album "The Circus of Flowers" sounds much more balanced and serious, and in many other ways different. Stylistically, it is still based on blues-rock, and even with little insertions of reggae, ska, etc, this is the same band. The Mechanical Orange remains itself.
Domestic price: 222.60UAH, International price: $15.90USD

Trans-Former. Terytorija trojand. (Territory of Roses)


Thus, there are no sophisticated constructions, flirting with the public, theatrical gestures here – but there is simple, and thus strong rock music. And there are the lyrics – probably, not too sophisticated, but thus no less meaningful. Because, in the end, one of the key features of "Trans-Former" has been and still is – honesty.
Domestic price: 222.60UAH, International price: $15.90USD

Trans-Former. Styhla vyshnja. (A Rip Cherry)


And we will hear the music that is quite rare today in Ukraine – pure rock. Clear rhythms and texts not deprived of the existential, firm guitar turns and energetic male vocal – yes. This is just the color that has been recently lacking in the variety of Ukrainian music, and it’s a pity.
Domestic price: 166.60UAH, International price: $11.90USD

Oleh Suharjev. Poklyk. (Call)


Maximally simple, clear concept – the acoustic guitar plus singing. And it means that lyrics come to the first plan – and, believe me, they are worth being listened to attentively, and not once.
