Found I've only heard Fizzarum. Other recommendations? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
syntetika. I haven't heard the represented album.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
so do they wear those furry hats and do traditional russian dances too? I will make the assumption that they do, and that all russian electronic music sounds like Tatu and not download any! ;) |

Check out Vesna. They just released a cd on n5md. Havent heard it yet but there 7" on n5 was great. Also they are on a 10" with Novel 23 (who might also be from russia, can't remember) which is killer. It's on the sound silent label? Fairly new label I believe but its well worth tracking down. Vesna is kind of Smakish. Very cold dark beats w/ dramatic melody lines. I personaly think they would have made a great smak release, definitely better then the new batch of smak artists besides 1210 if they ever come out! |

EU are russian .. and they are veyr good .. warm math was their last release - nice CD ;) |
||||||||
|

check Mendelayev, very good producer! a bit like Aphex or SolarX, but sounds very fresh. and definitely check Syntetika, amazing ambient. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
neh - i think Warm Math wasn't was good as previous EU releases. if you check their Art-Tek album EU_SOFT, you'll see what i mean. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
Syntetika rulez. BTW, it's half-female:) (information for Vletr) |
||||||||

ambassador21 |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Matvey - yes, there's a girl member in Syntetika;) she used to play in Fizzarum actually! Sepix - ambassador21 is more like Hardcore, no ? i thought its like the belorussian version of Atari teenage riot? |

i love russian IDM |
||||||||
|

heresy! |

oh I'm sorry... |

Russian electronica rules, Fizzarum are amazing but also check Ambidextrous, some of the most beautiful old school stuff I've heard and EU are really good too. There's something about the sound of this music that I really love, I've not been to Russia but I've been to East Germany a few times and that music fits the atmos perfectly. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
soundguy - probably some sort of sadness in their music? i know what you mean. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
definitely. i was rocking arovane on my headphones wandering around east berlin last summer and it fit perfectly. the sound of decaying factories and abandoned towerblocks. it's that beautiful melancholy, the kind of feeling i associate with autumn. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
some Solar X stuff is good too |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
soundguy - yeah, the Little Pretty Automatic album on worm interface is one of my favourite records ever! also his latest CHANEL303 on Hymen is cool , a bit different though. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah they are kinda breakcore but still very electronic :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Is the new Solar X more mellow, I like the really slow ones off Little Pretty |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
check out Klutch |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
soundguy - no , its very fast electro/beats. with his usual granular stuff ;) there are two very melodic tracks though , so good. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i gotta second Vesna. :) |
||||||||
|

The thing with the Russian stuff is that electronic music equipment was quite hard to obtain in the USSR, therfore anybody lucky enough to get their hands on some kit is bound to get to know it inside out, I've seen some kit lists for Fizzarum,EU and Ambidextrous and they are pretty basic, some good stuff but not much of it. It just goes to show that it's not what you've got, it's what you do with it. Oh and for all the Solar X fans you probably would really like Gimmik, he's one of my faves, you've probably heard it already though. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Oh and there are a couple of Russian compiliations compiled by EU, RU Electronic 1 &2, worth picking up if you see them for a good price but not amazing, they are good starting points to get into other Russian stuff though. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
also must mention New Composers, probably for fans of more classical ambient, but very very good. especially the album ASTRA. i think even on Orb's UFO you can see New composers in credits ;) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
soundguy - yeah , i guess you are right about equipment. as far as i know (and can hear) Ambidextrous doesn't use hardware, just software. and unfortunately the software use is very noticable in his stuff, good melodies though . i know Gimmik of course, and also like his other project "Abfahrt Hinwil" together with Chris Cunningham (Toytronic), very good electronica/ambient. the latest Gimmik album is very nice as well (Back to basics), i like that guitar track ;) and if you like SolarX you must check Mendelayev!! i think his beats/attitude to rhythm is kind of similar. and great melodies too. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah , those RuElectronic CDs on Lo rec are nice, but the second is probably better, especially tracks of Alexandroid and SCSI-9. i think Alexandroid just released their new album on Lo, must buy it, most of Alexandroid stuff is very good. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
definetly agreed with you Soundguy...that was the worst thing that happened to russian electronic scene. lack of money and really xpencive equipment,so no wonder that we didn't hear from dem earlier. anyhow,i find russian electronic music very good and inspiring. no matter if it's simple,but it has that special sound for me. so for now how many artists are there fizzarum vesna syntetika eu novel 23 alexandroid mendelayev + some others that are hard to find on slsk |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
EU was good but got boring and very repetative very quickly. "warm math" is awful. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
qrter - i guess the best from EU was the album on Art-tek (EU-SOFT) and Pause2 7" and Reframing Mini album. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
plaster - i'm sure you can find some of them in shops, or online shops at least. your list contains the main russian artists probably, could only add also Lazyfish and Sleepy town manufacture. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"reframing" is indeed good and I think "stereo" is pretty good too, also on Pause2. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i wandered into this site today and it has got some good music on it. eu, syntetika and mendelayev all sounded good if i recall. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah man,eu and syntetika are ace for me...alongside with novel 23 and fizzarum. if you have the chance get everythingy u can lay ur paws @! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the problem is that i don't own an credit card and our cd shops are crap when electronica is in question,let alone idm! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
qrter - you mean Tuner? i dont remember a cd called Stereo.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Atli - what site you're talking about, sorry ? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
plaster - sorry to hear that :( i guess most shops dont accept "cash in envelope" payment, so not much choice for you unfortunately :( |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh yeah, ha ha ha! been a while since I listened to it - I just remembered the stereo on the cover. :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hehe...i'lll stik to slsk. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
qrter - yeah, nice sketch! i think it has been drawn by one of EU's dads ;) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
nikakoi, although i've been informed that hes georgian, not russian. still, pretty good idm-ish music from that area of the world. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
georgian? where's that from man? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
fizzarum's great. I wonder if those poor saps sold any of their fifty dollar "sample pack" thingies. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i sure got mine...for free,muahahah! it's an interresting sample pack tho |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
heh heh, how- p2p file sharing? If you like fizzarum, try crunch's "1". They're similar but not russian. Unless being made by russians is your only criteria for what constitues good music. I'm not sure if I used the word criteria correctly. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
we say gruzija...maybe you do too :) nikakoi is quite alright btw. |
