    Neznamo – Aiwyâstô
    Label: Muzyka Voln – MV-IX
    Format: CD, Album, Limited Edition, Numbered
    Country: Russia
    Released: 22 Apr 2015
    Style: Dark Ambient, Drone

    If somebody still doesn’t know, behind the Neznamo project stands the Moscow-based musician Dmitry Shilov who stepped on the path of ritual ambient music in 1996 under the stage name of Unknown. After releasing five albums on the “Strely Peruna” (“Perun’s Arrows”) label, the project temporarily fell in a lethargic sleep but woke up again in 2006 with a renewed name and approach.
    As Neznamo Dmitriy has released several mini-albums on his own label Moonsun Productions, as well as a number of collaboration works with several other acts from the Russian drone underground: Misery, Bardo, Lunar Abyss, Siyanie, etc… For those interested in the project’s roots and branches we can give some more keywords: Temnozor’, Medve Na Meche, Peal Grim, Magickal Things.
    “Aiwyâstô” is Neznamo’s first full-length album and first “factory-pressed” CD. The album consists of one 42-min long composition recorded in a deep transcendental state. Covered in ornaments of unhasting vibrations, flickering and parallel sound layers, dense string drone permeates the whole track. This music is for lovers of deep inner self diving. Towards the depths of pitch-dark sound where one can see all forms dissolving in emptiness and being reborn by it again in an endless game of space and imagination.

    Eonic – Secret Land

    mayo 19, 2016

    Eonic – Secret Land
    Label: Zhelezobeton – ZHB-XXVII
    Format: CD, Album, Limited Edition
    Country: Russia
    Released: 05 Apr 2010
    Style: Downtempo, Ambient

    Secret land lost in an unknown dimension… Like ancient ruins this place hides the traces of stories, which are told in this new album by the St. Petersburg project Eonic. This is their 6th release (and 2nd “professional” CD) and it easily combines different stylistic approaches, making its own way to the listener’s heart. Ethno-gothic in vein of Dead Can Dance and Arcana is layered over tout electronic rhythms a la Delerium and Enigma and spiced by pleasant psychedelic arrangements. Musicians don’t hesitate to step on the territory of pop-ambient and even new-age, and it just adds more lightness and airness to their energetic music. A firm and masterful work.

    Kshatriy ‎– Transforming Galaxy

    mayo 19, 2016

    Kshatriy ‎– Transforming Galaxy
    Label: Muzyka Voln – MV-V
    Format: CD, Album, Limited Edition, Numbered
    Country: Russia
    Released: 17 Mar 2012
    Genre: Electronic
    Style: Dark Ambient, Drone, Ambient

    “Transforming Galaxy” – an imprint of my direct experience of the Universe. The album is dedicated to the end of Kali-Yuga – the age of technocratic lack of spirituality and moral decay – and to the attainment of human awareness of the Unity.

    Eight hasteless compositions of psychedelic drone ambient combine a light atmosphere with deep multilayerness, crystal clear sound transparency with mild and sometimes uneasy melodies. Soft organic tracks full of plangent drones, noises and natural recordings neighbor with dense and saturated hymns to Hindu goddess Kali. The album is closed by a beautiful lyrical composition reminding us that the best way to overcome ignorance and realize unity is Love.
