After release of the "Gloria" album, it seemed, maybe, that Okean Elzy would not be able to surpass itself – at least, in the nearest future. But, at the same time, it would have been good if it could. Possibly, OE longed for that too – because they have succeeded. They have succeeded in doing even more – once again creating something that does not resemble previous works. However, it is easier to feel the differences than to describe. It is just real, powerful rock – that very that knows well already what it is capable of and thus it does not need masquerades. It does not boast of its force and mastery, but works quietly, inspired – strong trees grow so, so a mason does not do any superfluous movements, truth ripens in one's heart so. It is just so that joy comes – when you know your freedom's face and do not turn your eyes away, do not fight a deathly fight, but simply advance. Okean Elzy advances – and freedom sounds in its music. There is no pursuit for the sake of acknowledgement – and there is no temptation of observing style limitations, but there is the ability to make it maximally as exact as you consider necessary. Sheer rock music grows from this root, creativity not for the sake of freedom, but as its direct result. I listen to these songs – and I understand that Okean Elzy has finally grown up from everything that it used to be. Right now – it has happened. As to me, accounting of new time begins for it – it is a qualitatively different level, joyful, brave labor. And its measure is in the fire of every heart.

This is relatively light music – but on each album by Skryabin there are always songs on social topics. And sometimes so serious and poignant that it hurts – although externally they, without unnecessary showing off, may look humorous, or quite simple, or sentimental...

These songs seem to get out from a dusky fog into a sunny light – and to become simply honest, without any decorations. They are not always pleasant, still they are not less pure and thanks to this, they are even more valuable. In the sense that when only the truth remains, you can’t call it good or bad – it is better than such appraisal.

Simple, transparent melodies, minimum of tools – maybe, that is why each instrument speaks very expressively. Only three musicians, but each of them is at his place – to such extent that there are no failures, inappropriate pauses or sharp edges in their music.

...they have collected the best, the loudest songs by the group from all of its albums, all through the time of their existence. However, there are also a couple of pleasant surprises – as songs that were not included into any official album. In other words, you should not doubt – here, you have something worth listening to, and there is not a single superfluous song.

"Srjabin" till now keeps the right to quietly express their own, probably not always pleasant, truth. These songs may be contradictory, ambiguous – but by no means can you call them empty. Cheerful and sad, loving and angry, wise and easy – they are sincere.

...he is able to write real songs, that is not empty ones – it is not surprising that so many people have taken part in the given project. Thus, twenty talented, famous and not so much performers, twenty songs by "Srjabin" of different years. Twenty meetings with the clever and even rather elegant, but still punk.

"Skryabin" group has changed it's style several times. Punk, new-wave, neo romantic. At the same time, musicians never loose their face. Skryabin songs are always cognate and a big army of funs like it.

Pay attention at the title of the album – it displays its content and its essence very well. The composition of the album and every of its songs, as well as their forms and content, strive to logical harmonicity, adjustedness of every musical move, every note.

From the one hand, the songs on this disc are very different, but on another hand, they have common energy deeply inside. This album is a juicy mixture of hard rock music of 70-th, Oriental melodic and modern electronic rhythms.

As for me, this work of art is marked by lightness, at that this lightness is more pleasant than vain. You see, there are thoughts present here, and they are different, but they are not put on a pedestal, on the contrary, they fly simply and easily somewhere near your head.

At some party where Kuzma was the anchor, the guys from the band helped him to fill in a pause by improvising a samba based on the theme of "Sleep Alone" – and it appeared good. So good that it resulted in real cooperation – and here you see a full-value album of cover versions for Skryabin's song created by musicians of Smack Band.

Виктор, 4 ноября в Киеве состоится презентация сольной программы Вакарчука "Вночі". Следующий концерт, насколько нам известно, будет в Москве. Однако презентация программы - это еще не презентация диска. Судя по всему, диск с этой программой пока не издан - хотя издание на физических носителях, конечно, планируется. Полагаем, УМКА не станет тормозить, когда диск реально будет выпущен)

A girlfriend from Ukraine mentioned this group to me and I really like their music. I will probably buy more of their albums from UMKA now that I know they are reliable to ship to the united states.

I do have all albums of O.E. and this one REALLY a good one.
"Gloria" was ok., I hardly ever listen it. I wish O.E. go ahead and add some "ukrainian colour" and stop putting an old songs in a "new" album because it looks like " we couldn't write something new", and its unprofessional. I wish them all the best, and I hope the next album will be outrageously good and noetic.

Альбом - бомба
Я вже співаю одну пісню під гітару - і планую ще декілька вивчити :)
Завжди радий,коли з'являються українські пісні, які втирають носа російськомовним співакам з України:)

OE is completely unknown in Germany, my boyfriend brought their CDs about 4 years ago with him after a trip to Ukraine. Last thing we heard about OE was, that they've split up and that Sviatoslav Vakarchuk did a solo. For some weird reason we didn't even hear about "Gloria"! Does anybody know a website which is translated into English? I'd love to check their tour dates!

АЛЬБОМ - НАСТОЯЩИЙ ШЕДЕВР!!! Просто обажаю "Лелеки", "Моя мала". Песни имеют свой характер, душу. Была на концерте "ОЕ" - впечатлений море. Целый день потом ходила и пела их песни."Без бою" - это мой гимн, гимн моей души. Именно с этой песни началось мое увлечение "ОЕ" . Святослав, ты молодец, просто умничка. Таких, как ты, талантливых, нашей бы стране не помешало бы иметь гораздо больше. продолжай творить, жду твоих новых достижений. Удачи тебе, вдохновения, пусть почаще тебя посещает твоя МУЗА!!! :)
