Kobko - Pale blue EP

Kobko, like all the rest of Berdsk guys continues the best traditions, namely, to make a deep and atmospheric sound. It is a deep techno work with the future garage influence in its ambient tension. In the mix we've got everything we love: detached, ethereal and heavy reverb

Alfa & Beta (A & B)

where A - is Arktor
and B - Bisamråtta
Congratulate both with their excellent work.

Here on LP they are collaborate together:



full version you can buy directly from Arktor's bandcamp

And here:

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...

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.

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."

VA - ECHOTOURIZM Vol​.​1

Echotourist community presents

Echo-catchin'

Hello everyone! Today... тоесть сегодня будет пост на русском. Во-первых, спешим поздравить, братьев по разуму, а также наших дальних приятелей из города Красноярск с выходом альбома.

Шуга (2012) by Eholow

Речь идет о группе "Эхолов" (Eholow). На данную группу невозможно не обратить внимание, особенно учитывая специфику нашего блога. Сказать об этих парнях можно немного, разве только что репетируют они в избе, а на записи они используют исключительно hardware средства. Вот так пишет  о них  FarFromMoscow:

The kind of music to accompany you on a journey." And so, in that vagrant spirit, the two musicians responsible for enacting these ideas call themselves Echolov or "Эхолов/Eholov" which in direct translation might read "Echo-Catch[er]." It refers, apparently, to "some ancient [mystical] practice." Sounds of pre-modern consequence have been drowned out by clamorous, often commercial chatter. They can only be discerned nowadays through a rejection of pragmatic enterprise. More can be done with less noise.

Кстати на том же FFM можно прочитать о нашем последнем релизе Speck - Harmonia.

Speck - Harmonia

  Today we glad to introduce another new author - Speck. His sound landscapes filled with noise and particles of music that we used to call avant-garde minimalistic neoclassical. 6 track EP can be downloaded on our bandcamp.
