..our reason seems to aspire to harmony, but for some reason interprets it as rest – in which it is no longer able to identify itself, and that is why it avoids this state. Therefore, each time, having attained certain rest, some next step is undertaken – to break the equilibrium, provoke motion, in order to discover, to come to know oneself in this motion. Searching for harmony – it constantly escapes it..

Acquaintance simultaneous with farewell, and consequently – endless and vanishing, with all possible plenitude of emptine... A strange black-and-white flower that one needs to break in order to see all colors of the spectrum on the stem fracture. In an instant a drop of night juice oozes there..

We could say that it is a disc rather easy for perception – so easy that even almost a dancing one. In any case, rhythms pulsate stably here, do not break, do not disappear all of a sudden. The other way round – they develop, flow, grow in. But, at the same time, the melodies induce not so much to entertainment and loud conversations as to reflections, attentive perception.

It thrills. Cool and warm, tart and sweet, quiet and agitated – that is sounding of this disc. Joyful and straightforward – children in love whose feelings are reciprocal can be like that. As to my taste, of course – because who know...

...And now it is that subtle dancing music which excites the desire not to dance but to listen carefully. Of course it doesn’t deny dancing) What is more, it’s full of interesting acoustic effects and live performance makes the musical canvas clear, fresh and very warm at the same time.

This disc leaves the same feeling – of light, drifting water. Either rain, or a spring, or just dissipated in the air, thus virtually invisible, but – perceptible. The release cannot boast its length – that's a pity. But all through the time of its sounding, as well as for some time afterwards – there brightly lives inside of it something pure and very clear.

For some reason, I believe that people able to notice uniqueness of displays of the world around – are able to notice considerably more. Zavoloka&AGF manage to create out of, on the whole, artificial material – a living matter. There appears a space able to breathe, move, grow – to change creatively. Not a substitute of life – but its inventive, free metaphor.

...his space does not wait till you make the first step – it shrouds you at once, leads, rolls, pushes unnoticeably – warm air over tarred railroad ties – and you do not dive and do not enter, but at once... you stay here so as if it has been and is and will be so – naturally – you are there, you find, you know...

This is the dimension of fairy-tales – those, real, in which there is always incomparably more of truth than in daily news. However, such stories are usually named not fairy-tales, but legends and myths – some wisdom, which no shallow knowledge is able to overcome, always stands behind them. And at the same time, Sniff, Humpty Dumpty or Horseshoe Bird feel perfect there...

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.

..here it is – the beautiful and frightful, acute and hotshot, transparent and dark, the reserved world-in-itself. Fuel for the Bengal lights of your personal Halloween... It stands on a thin blade, the door is ajar and draught sometimes grows so strong that you no longer know in which world you are now – and you do not ask..

..the monotonous repetition of the structure of formal motions results in that you stop taking this structure into account, noticing it – from now on you see quite different things here. This, if you wish, can be compared with Buddhists' reading of mantras: first you set a structure, and then you go beyond its scopes. So, Kotra has not abandoned the quest – and again tries to fit the listener into a situation of liberation.

..having paid attention to the black-and-white design of the cover, also pay attention to that actually it is saturated with delicate patterns of various degrees of complication. Just as the content of the disc – it is only at first sight that it seems rather simple... However, gradually – almost unnoticeably but persistently – the number of lines, layers, bands, aftersounds, parallel and independent steps grows.

And due to active use of live instruments, this music is called post-rock. And due to how exactly and in what combinations they are used – it is named ambient and psycho-folk. It is a live, warm matter, and it bears a long, tangible, contemplative feeling – of coziness, growth, flow...

The one who accumulated spaces for one track plays the guitar for another track, and from the others' sounding creates something third in the fourth track – they switch places, roles, world... There arises a strange feeling – you seem to see familiar things, but in unfamiliar combinations, at unexpected angles.

Is it really so [im]possible to imagine a Court, where the could [not] be exactly this court music? One of answer options – [chomub.ini]. ..It is time to start producing one's own blocks for the game, or to radically change the methods of their combining. It is time to search for harmony in combination of the Infrared with the Ultraviolet, the Hard with the Fluffy, or the Wavy with the Rectilinear...

...any certain definitions should be destroyed here, so that there were no temptation of restriction. And just – to plunge into silence of these somewhat innerved from the outside, but unostentatious, deeply intelligent searches for transparency. Searches for pure, sonorous, self-sufficing sound.

At some instant this sort of music simply divides the dense mass of the audience into a sum of separate selves – in order to reunite them later, but already at another level. Then this is no longer a crowd, then these are people... It is possible to say otherwise. In this music, beauty is dissolved – which you listen and hear staying alone with yourself, even if there is someone else around...
