timtom - how come you are so much aware of russian electronica? Even living here, not far from Russia, i don't have much of it, and even don't know much... I have only 1 Syntetika album, some New Composers and Bahadur... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Matvey - why? you can't find it in shops? i could imagine that you can buy almost any russian releases in Ukraine? i've been following this music for years, i really like the sound and that special feel to russian electronica, if you know what i mean. p.s. i dont know Bahadur unfortunately, what's that ? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
surely i love russian electrinic music................there's a lot of interesting music not listed on that site........ ........but Matvey's right, it's difficult to get most of interesting releases if you live outside moscow and st.petersburg (and maybe izhevsk - a lot of russian electronic artists are from izhevsk).........almost the only way to get it is to order it online........... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Bahadur = Sergey Gasanov, described as ethno-ambient.. New Composers have released a collaboration with this multi-instrumentalist, called 'Indigo'?, and it's very nice.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Not only Sergey Gasanov... Mikhail Ogorodnikov (Keyboards, Sinths, Samping, Loops (Moog Synthesizer, Roland Juno 106, Hohner Clavinet D6, Nylon EP, Yamaha CBX-K1 X6) Sergey Gasanov (Sitar, Bansuri, Duduk, Guitar other) i don't know if this link works, but check it out: from page |

i've heard that new composers started in 1983 |
||||||||

_user: what site you're talking about? can't you buy those CD's in music shops? buying online is good solution anyway, especially when you get to check the music before you buy. i've got some music from Izhevsk (label KAMA), its great! my favorite band from Izhevsk is Burunduk Quertet, do you know them ? Matvey : thanks for the info on Bahadur , but the link is not working :( |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
_user: yes New composers have been working for years, if you check U.F.Orb (1992) cd cover , you'll notice New Composers in the credits :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the link to the site i'm talking about is in the initial post of this thread............ ....actualy there's a little number of releases i can simply buy in shop..........but a lot of people here haven't ever heard about realy good artists (like new comosers, or moscow grooves institute, or volga (i bought volga's album during a festival last summer, members of this group sold it to me)) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i don't have orb's cd...........only mp3s :[ ..........but i have most of their releases anyway...... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
_user : i guess its hard to find ALL the russian releases, probably some of those labels dont even exist anymore. i really like the old stuff of New composers (like Astra or Magnitola) , but i must say that all their latest releases are quite embarassing :( listen to their album MUSIC AND WORDS, why they released this CD anyway ? i've also heard that their recent live gigs are really bad too :( |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
is anyone familiar with is it worth buying? |

i've ordered the new "Stereo Modus - Ex Tempore" just a few days ago... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
plaster - Stereo modus album is quite nice, very warm. reminded me PLOD a little. be sure to check out the album of Syntetika , on the same label (shaped harmonics) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i got 100% syntetika,but i plan to get the new aswell. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
plaster - you mean "time + space" ? its very good as well . i guess not many people make this kind of stuff these days :( |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
has anyone heard the new Fizzarum CD already? hope i receive it soon. just got the CD of , beautiful ambient stuff. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
fizzarum was here today |
||||||||
|
|

|

just got these news from Fizzarum. i bought the CD when it was released a few months ago, very nice stuff. anyway, highly recommended to download the remix , and to buy the whole EP as well. *** Download Fizzarum Remix from *** Download a new Fizzarum remix for a track "With Hands and Feet" by Multiplex. Review from Igloo Magazine: "...Fizzarum bops along making you think of pleather suits. If IDM ever let itself get sexy, this would be the first track to think of. It's subtly different from the others, a little thinner perhaps, and subsequently has a pimped out feel to it. In a good way, I swear. It's smoothed out on the R&B tip..." "With Hands And Feet" Remix-EP CD is out now on Multiplex Music. |

i have more russian electronica now - recently got Fizzarum Monochrome Plural album in mp3 from a friend. It's great. I was surprised to find out that one track from it, called microphorus, has the same theme as in Syntetica track Wetrax. who's remixed who(?) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Matvey - it's not remix, Lena of Syntetika used to play in Fizzarum years ago, that's why both tracks have the same melody :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
thanks, i understand now. i knew they were connected somehow :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, same city - same spirit ;) |
||||||||
|
|

Fizzarum - nadejus kogdanibud soobrazim shotb priehali i v Latviju! :) |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
aga, ya vot dumayu nashchet fizzarum --^gt; kiev, no eto vsego lish poostyye slova na dannom otrezke vremeni. Opyt organizacyyi koncertov yest, no oni vse byli ochen malobudgetnyye ili voobshche ubytochnyye. Zato nekommercheskiye. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
this looks quite interesting, not only russian electronica, but other countries in eastern europe: |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

Just wanna say cheers to the guy who recommended "1" by Crunch in these threads, it's been on my playlist constantly since I got it and yes you are right, it's not Russian (British I believe) but it's certainly got that atmosphere, dark but melodic melancholic vibe and fantastic sound design. While we here anything else new on the Russian (or Russian sound alike) scene that I should know about. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i must check Crunch then, thanks for the tip! from the latest Russian releases i highly recommend Dunaewsky 69! it reminded me Ulrich Schnauss a bit, and also Plaid!! very nice combination !!! melodic and very emotional. i got mine and if you still haven't checked Mendelayev from Art-Tek records, you must!! it's one of the best electronic albums i've ever heard!! i'm sure that someone like WARP would sign him immediately!! ok, i'm off to order some Crunch :) |

Has anyone got the Ni-sh-ka-lu EP from Novel 23 from Duotone Records in Japan? I can't seem to figure out how to order it from them... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Ganymede - i've been trying to get that one myself, but it seems that you can't buy it in Europe, and as you said it's complicated to order directly from DuoTone. maybe there are other ways? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
is from Ukraine, I've been on his performance, along with other artists from his label. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Matvey - did you go to the Progress festival? how was the SolarX show?? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no! i haven't been on that festival! I've been at another concert here in kiev. never knew about Solar X since today. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
just wanted to mention that you can find almost all russian artists in ICQ:) they ussualy don't hide! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hahaha! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and most of them are good at programing... yes we are talented nation:)) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Matvey - you don't know SolarX ?! he's one of the first (and best!) electronic artists from Russia! he's been on John Peel's playlists many times. you must check his album on Worm Interface - Little Pretty Automatic, and also CHANEL 303 on Hymen. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i don't know him, as well as a lot of other musicians. They have much worse PR than european and american artists. To know them one must be willing to search internet for russian electronica or actively attend small clubs, where they perform sometimes. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
..and that's good. PR is lies:) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Matvey - as far as i know, SolarX plays live every year at Kazantip festival, which is in Ukraine i believe? and he's the one behind Art-tek records. he also played on Transmediale festival in Berlin, and other big music events. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, Kazantip is in Ukraine.. i never been at the festival, though. Sometimes will, if i have vacation at the time. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Matvey - you'll find some info about SolarX here: |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
interesting. Will get some music soon, hopefully. offtopic question - timtom - do you know russian language? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Matvey - yes, i do. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
cool. i asked because you gave me that link to interview in russian. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Timtom, Well the Duotone site may not have an English version at all and not have an order form, but apparently you can order by email and the person who reads them does know English. Apparently they also accept Paypal. So, I'm crossing my fingers now that my order goes through smoothly. Matvey, I downloaded Kiritchenko's EP "Bees and Honey" and liked it. Is all of his music the same kind of ambient sound design stuff? Spasibo i poka, G |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
TimTom- I'm having problems seeking out Mendelayev but I'm on constant lookout, same with Vesna though I do have a couple of their tracks on compilations. Hope you manage to get the Crunch album, it was the first CD on Muzik Aus Strom and unfortunately it's been deleted now but there are still copies floating around (I got mine in HMV believe it or not), there is another Crunch album called "2" but it's mainly remixes and isn't really in the same league as "1". A Crunch e.p. also exists that includes a couple of the good tracks from "1". |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
soundguy - i've ordered Mendelayev , and received it the next day! not a fan of Vesna though :/ i'll probably look for Crunch on eBay, found "2" so far for 95p :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"2" is worth 95p, there are about 3 good tracks on it IMO, cheers for the Mendelayev link and I'll be sure to check Dunaewsky 69, I'm a massive fan of Plaid and I'm partial to a bit of U.Schnauss so it sounds like a bit of a must buy. |
