Total Station “Semiconductors” 2010
This is the second release of Saint-Petersburg’s experimental
project Total Station which was made in the vein of free avant-
prog.
This record was made by analog synths and tone generators player
Vladimir Kabanov with Ivan Rozmainsky, leader and keyboardist of
Roz Vitalis which is one of the most important modern progressive
bands in Russia.
Two long tracks named as two common semiconducting materials -
germanium and silicon. This way of entitling compositions is
developing a subject of a first Total Station record, Live At
Radio Weimar, which was devoted to the first steps of
electrification of the Soviet Union.
Contrast between rough and heavy industrial noizes and gentle
piano accompanied by flutes instantly changes to agressive
staccatos and dark electronic howls, but in the same time the
sound keeps as clear as a lo-fi record can be. The harmony lines
rapidly dissapearing in atonal sweeps, but when you’re starting to
forget the beginning, it’s coming back, sometimes as a whisper and
sometimes as a hypnotic manifestation!
I think that this strange and unusual record will be a nice
surprise for every fan of improvised non-jazz music.
Uwe Papke.

Horizont “Summer in town” 1985
This unique album have a many different reviews on english on “Progarchives”,you can read it here
http://www.progarchives.com/album.asp?id=4942
Чебоксарская группа Горизонт – случай уникальный,играя с семидесятых годов,”инструментальный ансамбль тракторного завода”(это не шутка,а официальный статус команды),умудрился выпустить на фирме Мелодия(!) два полноценных альбома сложного симфо-авант-прога на виниле.Впрочем “Лето в городе” получилось ещё довольно мягким.Второй альбом “Портрет мальчика” нарисовался куда мрачнее.
Горизонт,несмотря на полную забытость отечественными слушателями,неоднократно переиздавался на CD на Западе и наряду с Високосным Летом,одна из наиболее известных классических русских рок-групп.

P.A.U.T.I.N.A. “Thoughts Aloud” 2010 EP
Exellent mix of different musical styles – jazz,metal,progressive rock…I feel sometimes influences of King Crimson,but full misical picture of the band very original, and make themself one of most interesting collectives from Crimea.
ПАУТИНА – это синтез, образование разноплановых форм мышления и чувств.
Нынешний вид группа ПАУТИНА, после долгих преобразований обрела в середине 2009 года. В том же году идет череда концертов на летних фестивалях, концертных площадках. Энергетика живых выступлений подталкивает к студийной работе, и так, в начале 2010 года появляются записанные композиции. Эксперименты со звучанием не оставляют равнодушным слушателя, погружая в атмосферу неизведанных ощущений и приглашают в путешествие за бесформенной идеей.
Записаны 3 композиции: PFSII ( про Половину Фонарного Столба и Искосок), Time (Время), Troglobiont (Троглобионт).
ПАУТИНА это скорее организм, нежели машина, более образ, чем воплощение, вероятнее запятая, нежели точка.

Acid Floriani “Hypnozis” 2010
Acid Floriani is a group from Krasnoyarsk. Established in 2010. At the moment this is a trio.
Music is a very atmospheric mix of psychedelic, garage, experimental rock, free jazz. The structure of Acid Floriani represents the free and improvisational music form, with a large share of the experiment, and clearly trance mood.
Inspired by the music of psychedelic rockers from turbulent 60s, and krautrock.
Group holds vintage and dirty sound recordings, recording only live jams without any treatment.
Acid Floriani is an attempt to break the stagnant musical canon in recent years. This is an attempt to immerse themselves and the listener into another state of mind, without the use of drugs which expands consciousness.

Roz Vitalis “Unapproachable Light of the Sky” 2009
Unofficial Live Album
track-list
1. Irresponsible (26-04-09)
2. Thinking About Cheshire Cat (26-04-09)
3. Autumn Crocus (01-05-09)
4. Wooden Bear/Annihilator of Moral Hazard (01-05-09)
5. Compassionizer Medley (Piano Solo)/Disruption/Theme from the Great Gig in the Sky (01-05-09)
“Unapproachable Light of the Sky, Live at ESG-21, Spring’09” is an unofficial album registering an experience of ROZ VITALIS live gigs in Experimental Sound Gallery which is the cult underground place in Saint-Petersburg. It is a very special club creating special atmosphere. Ivan Rozmainsky – mastermind of ROZ VITALIS – uses (together with “usual” synths) a treasure of this club – acoustic vertical piano “Krasny Oktyabr” (“Red October”). It enriches sound of the band. At least, therefore, this recording is not a substitute for official live album of the band “Live at Mezzo Forte, Moscow, September’09”. Track-list includes both some unreleased stuff and excerpts from fifth studio album titled “Compassionizer” which is one of the most famous ROZ VITALIS releases. These excerpts – “Annihilator of Moral Hazard”, “Compassionizer Medley (Piano Solo)”, and “Disruption” – together with theme from Floydian “The Great Gig in the Sky” impressively concludes this album. Recommended for all lovers of experimental music including elements of avantprog, symphoprog, psychedelia and other styles.

FLEISCHESMARKT “Acid dead in Alaska” EP
“Fleischesmarkt (Фляйшесмаркт) — a duo of the Odessa musicians of Alexey Volosunova (Alexey Volosunov) and Konstantin Karpin (Konstantin Karpin). Despite the fact that what collective as creative unit, consists of enough young bones, their flavouring holder is quite issued, and not only an aesthetics garage 60, psychodelic 70, rhythmical 80, charcoal 90, but also influence of such actual labels as DC Recordings, Information, DFA, Eskimo Recordings etc. Methods of construction of a musical fabric gravitate to the academic minimalism with free formulas of a fri-jazz and empirical импрову. Sounding undertakes qualitative factor New York nou-vejva with a rhythmical basis of kraut-fate and dynamics of an acide house. As a result we have 10-minute compositions capable to be entered in the most advanced tendencies of club culture.”

Notre Dame des Fleurs “Candydrone” 2008 EP
This record is a part of the fake bootleg tape archive of NDDF in which they bring together drone music with dream pop sound and primal beat. Recorded with only one condenser microfon, this EP features quite ‘vintage’ sound and could produce harsh high frequency distortions on high-end systems.
