It is shameful to be an ignoramus – but sometimes it offers a wonderful opportunity to discover something new where you do not expect that... Ivan Samshit. A Kyiv group, founded in 1986, and it is even a pity a bit that it did not happen somewhere in the far west of Eurasia – we would, probably, have a world-scale star. But here there was the specific leapfrog, thus everything happened differently. In general, it is strange how in those times, having no access to really high-quality equipment, Ivan Samshit managed to realize and record its, without exaggeration, brilliant experiments in the domain of synthesized music. In those times? I agree with the opinion that creativity by Ivan Samshit, both once and now, still has no competitors and analogues in Ukrainian music. Well, and the disc "Essential Shit" has comprised the best songs of the group in the period of 1989-1998 – and the restoration was so careful that a light smack of the magnetic tape has been preserved in the sounding, pleasant) This electronic indie-pop even now sounds bright, original and – actual. Strange – but that is, indeed, a fact. And, for example, the fact that the majority of the texts were written in Russian – does not affect the value and uniqueness of the phenomenon as such, this music touches deeply regardless of the performance language. Electronic romances, dances full of sense, transcendental lyrics of clearances between worlds, enchanted and warm immersion in evening snow... Ivan Samshit – strange knights of the transparent autumn of urban stones, semantic airplanes. Sometimes it seems that the very enigma of the night before the dawn speaks to us through the voice of Petro Dain... Well, and the last thing (I'm sure that after a closer acquaintance with the disc this fact will make many of you happy) – Ivan Samshit, as Lazarus, has not died. "Smile" is, for example a song of 2007, and work on a new material is in process now. Personally I am ready (and recommend to everyone) to wait – and to receive then...

"Srjabin" till now keeps the right to quietly express their own, probably not always pleasant, truth. These songs may be contradictory, ambiguous – but by no means can you call them empty. Cheerful and sad, loving and angry, wise and easy – they are sincere.

These songs seem to get out from a dusky fog into a sunny light – and to become simply honest, without any decorations. They are not always pleasant, still they are not less pure and thanks to this, they are even more valuable. In the sense that when only the truth remains, you can’t call it good or bad – it is better than such appraisal.

This is relatively light music – but on each album by Skryabin there are always songs on social topics. And sometimes so serious and poignant that it hurts – although externally they, without unnecessary showing off, may look humorous, or quite simple, or sentimental...

Actually, disco could sound like this if it were given to a DJ who has already been sweating for two or three hours at the rack but has not yet lost the ability and inclination to experiment. That is why quite organically Arabic and African percussions and Jamaican rhythms, as well as "black" reciting and the "submarine" atmosphere are intertwined into the general canvas – for this is lounge, and diversified one.

We could say – Stelsi has succeeded, not losing its dance lightness, in creating a lyric, honest, rich in content album on a frisky crossing of very different styles. An album about life. Life is different – but, in any case, completely ours.

Just an ideal balance between affability to the listener and self-absorbed contemplation. Conditionally, a sort of semi-acoustic, minimalist trip-hop. But far not any trip-hop would afford so much fresh, transparent air in sounding as here.

In this music, there is something of photosynthesis – it also converts sun energy into force and joy of growth and oxygen for friends and other neighbors. With it, everything happens simply and easily – the morning, walk, work and avoiding work, kiss and the first pot of tea, night on the balcony and snow...

Eccentricities, sure, differ. This one is entirely positive. Though, sometimes there is a temporary confidence that "Luk" creates music that stays somewhat aloof from our reality. But it does not prevent it from smiling – and our reality starts smiling back...

The project, actually, appeared as far back as a few years ago – but it is lately that the concept has completed its final transformations, reincarnations, and now it is already somewhat new music. Not only in relation to itself, but also in relation to modern Ukrainian music in general – it seems that Dazzle Dreams are currently the only ones in Ukraine who play synthi-pop but with expressive, bright elements of ethno-lounge.
