OGNI VIDENIY : SKVOZЬ TEMNOTU
Vetvei, V06, Ltd.181, CD-R, Декабрь.09

Шестым релизом лейбла представлено путешествие "Сквозь Темноту" Архангельского проекта Огни Видений. Альбом записан в 2007 году и уже издавался автором малыми рукотворными тиражами. Огни Видений является эволюционным продолжением индустриально шумового проекта Контрольные Огни (2002), который в свою очередь берет начало в тесном общении с проектом Шесть Мертвых Болгар, в то время под руководством Алексея Чулкова (R.I.P). Изменяется состав, к индустриально шумовой основе Контрольных Огней в 2007 году добавляется просветленная концепция, проект приобретает ритуальный окрас и звук, в результате чего и трансформируется в Огни Видений, постоянно принимая участие в записи и выступлениях Шесть Мертвых Болгар и по сей день. За время существования Огней также имело место сотрудничество с Хладна, Lunar Abyss Deus Organum и др. Видения Источника, Хранители Огней, Очищающие Ветра... этот альбом представляет собой шесть полотен-путешествий во Внутренний Космос через берега северных морей и разговоры с птицами и камнями, через тропинки игривых ручьев и застывших Духов леса. Целью участников является изучение построения света, звука, образа, направленные на усиление качества психоделических опытов. Огни Видений представляют шаманский, природный, экстатический ритуал-амбиент используя в работе аутентичные акустические инструменты, полевые записи и достижения цифрового звукоизвлечения. Оформление представлено полноцветным шестипанельным конвертом рук Vresnit.

Following on the success of the debut album, 'Aircode', Silence Drift returns with deep and tunefully beautiful 'Landscapes Through The Viewfinder', his second full-length album. Hypnotic and charmful journey to the mystery of ancient tropical rainforest, filled with nostalgic melancholy. A breathtaking masterpiece! 'Lanscapes' was written and recorded by Maxim partially over his trip to Cambodia and Thailand, during July-August, 2008. The jungle atmosphere was an important influence in these pieces, as they helped him to capture a tremendous beauty of nature. Additional piano, vocal and guitar recordings was made at his home studio in Moscow.

Lovers of modern chill, downtempo and ambient music will find this work irresistible.

Harder to categorize than many of its peers, Yuminale has been described as refreshing and unique, with a sound all its own. A few more extended and complex works - reminiscent of the great days of Album-Oriented Rock (AOR) - appear throughout this latest effort, more so than in the previous releases. Yuminale is in no rush on this album, which is perfect for people who like to put on the phones and get lost for awhile.

Transitory Glow will be available at online outlets such as iTunes, CDBaby and Amazon.

Streaming and downloads are available at www.yuminale.com/music.html and

"Entering The Ocean" is the first studio album of Ishizuke Children. Long majestic compositions remind the Buddhist temple ceremonies. It's deeper than the deepest ocean. Themes of tracks are ecology, nonviolence, intercorrection of all life in the universe, instant karma, search for the mysterious in everyday.

Children Of Ishizuke Tree - the guitar duo from Minsk, Belarus, consists of Alexander Haletski and Marina Bartosh. Formed in 2009. Style of music – something between noise, drone, shoegaze and academic minimalism. Band practices playing in a few amps and distortions of sound.

I have a question.

My friends page on my layout does not have a button where I can push "previous entries." So I can only see the most recent page of friends entries. This also occurs on my own personal journal.

Please help, let me know if there is anything I can add to my custom CSS or anything.

Thanks.

"Magical music on "Eurasia" is full of apprentice's patience, unruffled cal and Buddhist leniency towards all living beings. We hear insisde ourselves what is there and take it as it is". Simply speaking, they are playing the air and aren't being in a stew. The most important discipline of The Winter War In Tibet is the lightness and naturalness - the lightness and naturalness of running water.

Band THE WINTER WAR IN TIBET was formed in 2008 in Minsk, Belarus. This is collaboration of musicians from Minsk groups BOGOMATER’ CVETOV (FLOWERMOTHER), URLA MAKABRA, INSUMTHINMAGMA, CHILDREN OF ISHIZUKE TREE, THE SHAPE, SANGIITA SHUNAKA and SNEZHINKI. A distinctive feature of the band’s music are the sound experimentation and improvisations at the junction of ethnic, rave and rock. Band’s name comes from the similar book written by Swiss writer Friedrich Durrenmatt. THE WINTER WAR IN TIBET has made its debut at the opening of the international festival “Kamen” («Камень») in Minsk in October 2008, accompanying Damo Suzuki, the world-known vocalist of cult German kraut-rock band CAN. In 2009 the band recorded about 20 improvisatory releases.
