The author would like to express his gratitude to Egor Klochikhin and Artyom Kitikov, without whom this material simply could not be recorded. Researching of human inner worlds and experience and comprehension of emotions that are born in there...

Some news from all around the World

Let's sail on the soundwaves to the Scotland with Holobeams and his new EP. Music of this guy speaks for itself.

and then jump to Colorado.  

The EP mines a wonderfully rich seam of atmospheric yet epic songcraft that Kramies has made his own. From the throbbing ambient introduction of ‘The Beginning’ through to the delicate folk of ‘The Ending’, Kramies’ new EP covers vast emotional and musical terrain during its 23-minute run-time. The title track’s windswept grandeur is married to an emotional directness that demands your attention and doesn’t let go, ‘Sea Otter Cottage’ sways and swoons with an almost unbearable poignancy, and ‘Clocks Were All Broken’ both alludes to and embodies this music’s timeless appeal.

  

after trip come back home with this pretty pleasurable band from Spb.

Bisamråtta (LP)

We glad to introduce long play of our boy Bisamråtta

Bisamråtta (LP) by Bisamråtta

Bisamråtta’s self-titled LP (VULP-0048) follows up his solo EP released last year on Vulpiano Records. Bisamråtta (Vlad Luchansky, Russia) has a style that is subtle and sweet in the ambient caresses and static that travel in and out of your ear while listening…Some songs are more floating and difficult to grasp, though no less pleasing, than others: for example, the transition between the pleasantly drifting opener “Lunga Blockera” and the more rhythmically driven “Hud Uppfatta” is striking.

Electronics, atmospheric noise and sung or spoken snippets, and guitar are all used to great effect onBisamråtta. Luchansky has here crafted another beautiful work that rings loud — and, importantly soft — of the natural world, the body (note the song titles and cover art, and emotion.

Space Holiday Rocks - Øрёл

Hey! Today Space Holiday Rocks prepared a bit of music from his groovebox.


Our St. Petersburg based participant has arrived yesterday. You can also watch him on upcoming FPRF gigs.

Arktor - Cotton Mather Estates

Today we glad to introduce our regular echoguest and participant - Arktor. Living in Krasnoyarsk, Dima transmits ambient reality of mountain landscape through his music. And from these records it blows cold. It was a long time ago since Arktor (not as Arktor but under other various nicknames) was a hip-hop boy and sometimes rapped. Now there is no longer almost nothing from this music.

Title of album taken from Clans of the Alphane Moon a science fiction novel by Philip K. Dick.

"The Deps are suffering from clinical depression. Their representative to the supreme council is Dino Watters and the name of their town is Cotton Mather Estates, where they live "in endless dark gloom.”

Cold and darkness - most appropriate definitions for the album. But all the sound on the album sounds warm and lightly saturated (sometimes not lightly but heavily), and will certainly please those who prefer a warm tube sound :) Also this is first album which Arktor produce selfishly.

Arktor: " As for me not that much of a music depression actually. Just like how it sounds. I use tag "drowntempo" to describe my last works."
