Classy album from one of the few Ukrainian psychedelic bands. Causa Sui & Hypnos 69 blend with Dire Straits' guitar gentleness, 27 minutes of instrumental delight. Doommantia in their detailed review seem to agree it's totally enjoyable. So... enjoy.
p.s. this year's Black Mountain album is amazing, people. Get it, get it, get it!
Here it comes, the seriously fucked up sleep schedule. It's now 4.33 AM, I woke up about 3 hours ago. Which is one of the reasons I missed a local psychedelic/indie show, and I just hope I'm not gonna miss Ivanov Down this night.
They were one of the main acts on Soviet/Ukrainian early 90's underground post-punk scene with their "Best Urban Technical Noises" tape out in 1991. Highly experimental, merging gloomy post-punk melodics with industrial and noise rock sound, this record bears strong similarities to Trop Tard's "Photodrame". There's hardly any information about them available in English, and I don't particularly feel like translating biographies from Russian right now, but it all boils down to 'they'd been a bunch of freaks, then Perestroika came and they had to find real jobs'.
Now there's new line-up, and their album was released on CD in 2009 (with slightly different track listing). Well, theoretically 'slightly', 'cause the tape rip I downloaded some time ago has 21 songs instead of supposed 12, most of them untagged. Anyway, things are clearer with the CD version, which I advise you to check out.
The song below is 'Eyes' ('Glaza'), probably the most catchy and post-punk song they have.
