In
December, Volga
issued a formidable new album mixing as usual
traditional ancestral music with techno grooves. Angela Manukjan
's voice fills the mind with fairy images
while the body is forced to dance. Vypei do dna means Bottoms up
so you can imagine that the whole album conveys positive
thoughts and invitations to enjoy life through various means,
including "Konopa" aka hemp. It gives fresh air to the Russian
Soul. Plus there are real hits in this album. The secret
history of Russia's party spirit is revealed at last! |
"Astral Space Dub",
is the last album of
Dr Tikov,
the Russian son of Lee Perry. While most dub-addicts focus on
the Carribean sound, Dr Tikov grabs elements from India's music,
which are refreshing. Sitar, tabla, voices go along with heavy
electronic bass and effects. Highly danceable and trancey.

Tell Tchaikovsky the news 6
presents some of the most promising Russian acts from the Exotica
label. Although anything but experimental, this sampler
manages to include most of today's electronica trends. From
the veterans of Novye Kompository (nearly 30 years of
existence) to Jeune Homme (whose leader is barely 17 y.o. ),
there is a wide range of styles and talents. Nothing
revolutionary but a must for Easy Listening fans. The
Minimokik track is especially worthy with its ultra naive and
catchy melodies. Nuclear Los shows here a excellent sound
quality and creativity. Listening
