Posts by tag Folk music

It's been a while since I've been here... 

Alas, my favorite section on this site (I'm talking about posts) is going through hard times, because if I used to be interested in reading some high-quality creative or interesting reading, now 80% of posts are a political forum, which I personally am not happy about at all. Bazaru zero: still comes across something interesting, and the newcomers are pleased: Mitsuri as an example of decent content posts. But still, most of the posts now are either something I don't understand, or a symmetry, or a cringe, or... just pissing. It's the same with my posts: readers have changed almost completely and they are no longer interested in electronic music, the heading "Galloping through Europe" or my "7 evil Pickups".

But that's not even the hardest part. The problem is that I think I'm starting to have a midlife crisis. I've never felt so amorphous in my life. I don't want to do anything: I don't want to play games, watch movies/cartoons/anime, or even drink alcohol. Even my favorite food doesn't bring me dopamine and highs. My two-week vacation ended the other day, and for almost all of those two weeks I stupidly lay with a sour face on the couch, flipping through and watching the news and gun art, while listening to music on a tape recorder. Maybe I'm wrong and it's not SWR at all, but the fact remains that my interest in my favorite things has disappeared somewhere.

And in order to somehow get out of this state, I decided to write this wall of text about the music that I've been listening to these two weeks - I'm talking about Underworld. I will be listening to and reviewing all (almost all) the work of this group with the main fox, the wife of the ZZZ game, Miyabi Hoshino. Let's get started a little bit, before I score again.

Yeah, these guys

Come on, I've already talked about the Anders in the review of their album Beacoup Fish, so we won't be here long. In short, the situation is as follows: Carl Hyde and Rick Smith, 2 cheerful old men of Borovichi, started by drawing pictures, but then they decided to create their own music. the group. Said and done, and these boys, who are already under 60, continue to delight millions of people with their music.

However, it is worth mentioning the fact that they did not start with electronics. Their first 2 albums were in the genre of punk rock and synthpop, and they were just amazing. Although the songs were well-written and well-sung, the songs themselves sounded incredibly default and without a twist. The Anders realized that such a muse. you can't cook porridge style, and after 5 long years they hired English DJ Darren Emerson and reinvented themselves in the electronic music format. And they didn't lose.

Let's move on to the album review. Miyabi, put the headphones on your fox ears, I'm turning on the PLAY button. 

P.S. Everything that will be said below, I remind you, is pure subjectivity, because there is no objectivity in this world and there will not be.

Dubnobasswithmyheadman

That's Underworld's very first step into the world of electronics. And he's gorgeous! The music here is very atmospheric and high-quality techno, which, even with a slight delay, does not stifle or irritate. I am not surprised that the album has become a real asset of electronic music in the UK. The only negative here, in my cocky opinion, is the rather blurred ending of the album. But even so, it's a very tasty LP. And yes, the title of the post is a reference to the title of one of the tracks on this album.

Rating 9/10. Favorite tracks from the album:  Mmm…Skyscraper I Love You, Spoonman, Cowgirl

Second Toughest in the Infants

The second visit to the electronic "field of experiments" turned out to be even more successful for the Anders than the first time. It's also techno and acid, only much faster and more psychedelic. The music here seems to be taken from the Unreal Tournament game, and this is another giant plus purely for me. But the most important thing about this album is that the main hit of the band appeared here.: Born Slippy .NUXX. Who would have thought that a track with only a beautiful melody, Karl Hyde's screaming vocals and a stupidly hammering barrel instead of bass would become the soundtrack to the movie "On the Needle", and after almost 30 years, also the soundtrack to the full-length anime about cute girls "Your Color". After all, I didn't give 6 thousand rubles for vinyl for nothing! We're listening and getting high!

Evaluation: 10/10. Favorite tracks from the album: Banstyle/Sappy's Curry, Pearl's Girl, Born Slippy .NUXX

Beaucoup Fish

We've already had a full review of this record, so I'll just say one thing: we're listening right now!

Evaluation: 10/10. Favorite tracks from the album: Push Upstairs,  Shudder/King of Snake, Moaner

A Hundred Days Off

From that moment on, the guys say goodbye to Darren Emmerson and start making electronics only as a duo. And this album turned out... specific to me. I've listened to this LP many times, but I only remember a couple of tracks. This doesn't mean that the album is bad. It's just that, first of all, they didn't put the squeeze on the drive, and secondly, the songs became a little more of the same type... Actually: the taste and color.

Rating: 6/10. Favorite tracks from the album: Two Months Off, Dinosaur Adventure 3D

Oblivion with Bells

I also wrote about this album in a post (I don't really remember which one) and then I gave it a very high rating. And I'm not going back on my words, because this is a very cool album. In fact, this is probably the most atmospheric beginning of all the band's albums: the first two tracks literally envelop the body and immerse it in a kind of meditation. And the rest of the tracks here are great. In fact, this is the same as the last album: calm and unhurried electronics, but which is now remembered for its melodies and vocals. We're listening to this!

Evaluation: 10/10. Favorite tracks from the album: Crocodile, Beautiful Burnout, Boy, Boy, Boy

Barking

As far as I know, the band's fans really dislike this record because the Anders have taken a commercial course and this album sounds very pop. In principle, I even agree with the opinion of the fans, but I can't call the album bad. Some of the songs that I listened to here for the first time stuck in my head for a very long time and which I then hummed for two or three hours at work. And the experiments here are very good (especially the Scribble DnB track). In short, it's a great album, even though it's inferior to the previous ones (almost all of them).

Rating: 8/10. Favorite tracks from the album: Always Loved a Film, Scribble

Barbara Barbara, We Face a Shining Future

To be completely honest, for me this album is a "one-track album". But Jesus Christ, what a great track this is!!! He's at the top of the list (I Exhale), and that's all I need to give a good, good rating to the entire album in general, despite the fact that the rest of the tracks are just normal and I don't really remember anything.

I especially want to highlight the clip for I Exhale: I still don't understand why it didn't become a meme like some Crab Rave. In the video, Carl Hyde just stupidly opens and closes the door to the track. And everything. Read the comments, there are sometimes the same funny jokes as the comments under Papich's video with Nats under Hydrogen.

Score: 8/10 (purely for the first track). Favorite tracks from the album: I Exhale

Drift Series 1

This album is one giant experiment, not only musically, but also visually. Let me explain: for exactly one year, starting from 2018 to 2019, the Anders made one track and a clip for this track every week! And the whole album is coming (attention!) "IT'S ALMOST SEVEN O'CLOCK!"!! To listen to such a fat-assed album in its entirety is already a feat. But this is by no means a negative, no. The disadvantage here is something else, some tracks are repeated here, which is not very cool. And there are cool tracks every other time. In short, it's a very brave staff, which, although it took a hell of a long time, still deserves a good rating. At least, I've never seen anything like this in the music world.

Rating: 7/10. Favorite tracks: Another Silent Way, Appleshine, S T A R

Strawberry Hotel

At the moment, this is the last album of the Anders. And he... It's not catchy at all. Okay, the beginning of the album is bouncy, there are cool tracks, but from the middle of the record the songs become completely flabby. Although this is not the weakest thing I have listened to from the Anders, but my assessment will be harsh.

The rating is 5/10. Favorite tracks: Denver Luna, Techno Shinkansen (soryan, I didn't find these tracks on YouTube)

* * *

Well, on that note, it's time to end the post. What's the bottom line: the Underworld band is truly amazing. Despite the very advanced age of the participants, Carl and Rick are still in the ranks and still give jazz (albeit with varying success). Cool, cho! I can also recommend this video from Ra Jan about the Anders, their becoming stars in England and their main hits.

As for me... Uhhh.. To be honest, all this writing didn't really help me get rid of that midlife crisis (or whatever else you can call it). But still, I'm at least a little glad for telling you what I really like to listen to. May God grant me to survive this state, and may God forbid you to catch it. And thank you for listening to really good and atmospheric music with me. 

I'll just say one thing: Mmmm... Pikookers, I love you! (I think you can listen to this track again on a stick) 

My respects for reading!^^

Playboi Carti is the main alchemist of modern sound. He turned minimalism into maximalism, and baby talk into the anthems of an entire generation.

♿️ 𝕮𝖆𝖗𝖙𝖎: 𝕯𝖊𝖈𝖔𝖉𝖎𝖓𝖌 𝖙𝖍𝖊 𝖁𝖆𝖒𝖕 𝕸𝖞𝖙𝖍𝖔𝖘 ♿️

𝖂𝖍𝖔𝖑𝖊 𝕷𝖔𝖙𝖙𝖆 𝖁𝖎𝖔𝖑𝖊𝖓𝖈𝖊: His music is pure, unfiltered aggression. It's the sound of breaking barriers, a mosh pit in your mind, and a scream into the abyss. The track "Stop Breathing" is a manifesto.

𝕬𝖉-𝖑𝖎𝖇 𝕲𝖔𝖉: He proved that the point is to serve. That just "Slat!" or "What!", shouted with the right intonation, can carry more emotions than the couplets of most of his contemporaries.

𝕽𝖊𝖉 𝕸𝖆𝖌𝖎𝖈: Vampire aesthetics, occult symbolism, narcissism are not just an image. It's a philosophy. The philosophy of excellence, otherworldliness, and living on your own frequency.

𝕾𝖔𝖚𝖓𝖉 𝖔𝖋 𝖙𝖍𝖊 𝕱𝖚𝖙𝖚𝖗𝖊: Years after the release of "Whole Lotta Red" (WLR), all the rap that sounds like him proves one thing: in 2020, he was so ahead of time that the world is still catching up with him.

Beginners will have an initiation ritual:

"Magnolia" (2017): The Origins. The very track that started the mania.

"Die Lit" (2018): The sound of pure buzz and separation. The Immortals "Shoota" (feat. Lil Uzi Vert) and "R.I.P.".

"Whole Lotta Red" (2020): The Apocalypse. A prophetic album that changed everything. "Vamp Anthem", "Sky", "New Tank" — new psalms.

"Music" (2025): Evolution into pop-punk and dark wave. The sound that broke TikTok.

𝕺𝖕𝖎𝖚𝖒 𝖁𝖘. 𝕿𝖍𝖊 𝖂𝖔𝖗𝖑𝖉: 𝖂𝖍𝖊𝖗𝖊 𝖄𝖔𝖚 𝖆𝖙? 

It's not up for discussion. You can feel it.

Either you feel this vibration in every cell, hearing the anthem of the new era in the cries of "Slatt!"...
Or you remain on the other side of reality, looking at what is happening in disbelief.

There is no right or wrong. There is vamp and not vamp.
Good Bye

So the concert is over, okay, Floridians, I'm off.

Hello, everyone! I'm with you again. Today I want to think with you about the meaning of some lines from the songs. There will be Russian, English, even 1 Japanese and 1 Korean songs. Have fun reading!

P.S.: I'll skip straight to the quotes without any preface, otherwise I won't have enough blocks.

* * *

Egor Creed "Girl don't cry"

• I will say again that I will change, I will not change again - this is the absolute truth. Many people say in relationships, at work, and many other places that they will change, but this is not happening. You give them chance after chance, and they just keep feeding you with words and empty promises.
• Love is always dangerous - dangerous both because love can turn into dependence, and because you are not loved and will be used, and because you will be rejected and your fragile heart will be broken
•  I don't care about the past, baby, we're all not perfect (Oh, no)  - actually, for the sake of this line, I added this song. People tend to judge others by their pasts or hobbies, but let's be honest, everyone has their own skeletons in the closet. judging by a person's past is stupid. Even if a person is released from a psychiatric hospital, it does not mean that he will immediately run into you with a knife because he is crazy. He was cured and is now healthy.

Adele "Someone like You"

• Sometimes it lasts in love, But sometimes it hurts instead (Sometimes love brings happiness, But sometimes it's just pain instead) — that's also true. Today you are happy with a person, and you think that it couldn't be better in life. But the next day, he says that he has fallen in love with someone else, and happiness comes to an end. Just a dull ache in the heart or in the soul
• You know how the time flies (You know how time flies :) - time is the most fleeting thing that exists in our world. Today you are a child, and tomorrow you are already 60+
• Regrets and mistakes, they are memories made (Regrets and mistakes — all this has become a memory ...) are not only memories, but also experiences. The main thing is to survive and move on

HALF OF THE "khm-khm" STUFF

• This loneliness is gnawing now - loneliness can be heavy and oppressive, as if it is "gnawing" from the inside, causing longing and sadness. This condition can occur even when surrounded by people, when you feel that no one understands you or cannot support you.
• There's nothing more important than my freedom- it's just a fact. Never give up your freedom voluntarily. Of course, we have imaginary freedom in life (you can't steal, just punch a person in the face, and so on), but appreciate what you have.

Imagine Dragons "I'm so sorry"

• I get mine and make no excuses, waste of precious breath (no time) (I get mine and make no excuses, waste of precious breath (no time)) - honestly, I personally can't comment on this line in any way, but it seems to me that it will find echoes in life.
• The sun shines on everyone, everyone loves themselves to death (The sun shines on everyone, everyone loves themselves to death) - roughly speaking, everyone wants a place under the sun. And, of course, they will choose it for themselves, and not for some unknown person.
• You never know the top 'til you get too low (You'll never know the top until you get too low) - someone can handle it, and someone will die at the bottom. The choice is always up to the person. The main thing is to do something to climb the stairs. Or "Through thorns to the stars"
• Life isn't always what you think it'd be (Life isn't always what you imagine it to be) - it's not even worth commenting on. Everyone knows it's true.

Lizer "Between us"

•   "Let's stay friends" —Ha! That's easy for you to say. How can you be friends with someone who doesn't get out of his head?  - people tend to fall in love during friendship. More often than not, it brings nothing but trouble and the end of friendship.

Taylor Swift "Look What You Made Me Do"

• Honey, I rose up from the dead, I do it all the time (Honey, I rose from the dead, it's a common thing for me) is a metaphor reflecting the experience of people who have gone through hardships such as illness, trauma (more often emotional), a broken heart or emotional crises, and were able to recover After them
• I check it once, then I check it twice, oh! (I've already done it with you once, and I'll do it a second time) - people either underestimate themselves or underestimate the enemy, which they absolutely must not do
• The world moves on, another day, another drama, drama (But the world does not stand still: another day is another drama) - every day is a drama

"Ray of the Golden Sun"

• The night will pass, the morning will be clear - always. Absolutely always. After the black stripe, the white stripe begins
• In the hour of sadness and sorrow, you hear my voice - if you take a separate line and do not look at the meaning of the song, the importance of communication and support in difficult moments is emphasized, as well as the desire for intimacy and understanding.

Fall Out Boy "I've Got All This Ringing In My Ears And None On My Fingers"

• Cause sorrow is just all the rage (Suffering is now a craze) - reflects the modern trend when feelings, pain and melancholy become part of popular culture and even a kind of fashion. This may be due to the fact that suffering is often romanticized in art, literature, music, and social media, becoming a way of self-expression or attracting attention.
• The truth hurts worse than anything I could bring myself to do to you (The truth hurts more than any of my ways of getting back at you) - The truth often hurts, but it's not a lie

LSP "Vinaigrette"

• Julia opened her legs a couple of times at the wrong time, And during the prom Julia was already giving birth - and it's all your fault "Pregnant at 16, 14, 13." Now early pregnancy, to my great misunderstanding, is in fashion.
• Eat, eat what they give, eat what they give! - no comment

lil peep "feelz"

• The love I give her is kinda creepy, but fuck it (The love I give her is a little unpleasant, but I don't care) - now a lot of guys and girls have given up on the very meaning of love. Codependency, abuse, gaslighting, cheating, etc.
• I'll fuckin' kill you, take you out to the bayou in the cabin with the mildew (Otherwise I'll kill you, damn it, I'll take you to the swamp in a house with mold) - romanticizing now. A real-life example: I have a classmate who dreams of being ambushed in a dark corner by a secret admirer, knocked out and taken to her damp basement, because, quote, "it's so romantic." Nonsense
• Your parents could never exceed the levels to I adore you (Your parents will never be able to understand how much I adore you) - unfortunately, many parents disapprove of their children's choice and forbid them to date this or that person

Zivert "The Egoist"

• I am a convenient person for those who love laughter - many really good and kind people in our world are simply used, laughed at and thrown out of their lives as unnecessary garbage.
• Quantity is a success - even the example on picuco. How many of those who produce tests of 15 pieces per day are in the ranking? A lot. And those who do really cool tests? Less
• But when you look in the mirror, it's better for you to love whoever you see there - always love yourself. Until you learn to love yourself, no one will do it.

Drake "The Real Her"

• shawty went and bought a whip (the baby went and bought a whip) - there are always devils in a quiet pool. The main thing is to get to know the person better

Lyceum Battle

• As long as you don't take me into account, I disagree - unfortunately, a large number of people do not respect other people's tastes, opinions and preferences in the modern world
• Those who tell the truth are silenced - very often those who know and try to convey the truth to others are silenced or removed.
• Yes, it's easy to come out as a winner when you agree with a man in a tunic - if you're on the side of the ruling (oligarchs, parties, etc.), then you're a winner, but if not, then...

JENNIE "Like Jennie"

• I'm leaving clues in the fitting room and it's hot tea! (I leave footprints in the dressing room, and they immediately turn into hot gossip!) - I can't comment, but the phrase is clearly suitable for life.
• No, I'm not thinking 'bout no exes, know they miss me, (No, I'm not thinking about exes, but they miss me,) - unfortunately, both boys and girls tend to set themselves up for the fact that their exes will be bored (in some cases *this* is really true). However, this is not always the case. My friend, who has about 20 exes, periodically writes to her exes with questions: "My ex, you haven't written for a long time. Don't be afraid to spam my personal account with messages, how you miss me." This is real idiocy.

buckwheat "we were here"

• We don't get lost, we stay young - it's important not to lose our youth and not try to grow up ahead of time.
• As long as you have the strength, I know that life is not easy - fight to the last, and everything will be great in life.
• If we believe, then we will be the first - faith is the driving force that helps us overcome fears, doubts and obstacles. When we believe, we become bolder, more determined, and ready to move forward no matter what. Faith makes us leaders because it gives us the strength to act when others are still in doubt.

The Neighbourhood "Sweater Weather"

• Head in the clouds, But my gravity's centered, But I stand firmly on my feet) - it is necessary and important to dream a lot, but do not forget about the mundane
• She knows what I think about And what I think about One love, two mouths One love, one house No shirt, no blouse Just us, you find out Nothing that I wouldn't want to tell you about, no - it just sounds great and translates. I couldn't help but insert my favorite lines from this song

* * *

That's all. Bye-bye, everyone. Write down which songs you consider to be the most truthful and real in life.

Episode 1 the beginning 

OutKast дебютировали с альбомом "Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik" в 1994 году, который получил положительные отзывы и помог им утвердиться как значимой силе в южном хип-хопе. Альбом сочетал в себе элементы фанка, соула и рэпа, что стало характерной чертой их стиля.

Igor will be here soon...

Everyone loves ferrets! Let's talk about Yeezus today

Yeezus 

Kanye West's Yeezus album (2013) is one of the most striking and controversial releases of the 2010s. That's what he's so good at.:

1. Sharp sonic innovation
   Yeezus sounds aggressive, minimalistic, and industrial. It's not just rap, it's a mix of hardcore techno, noise, and Chicago house. There has never been anything like this in mainstream hip-hop before! 🔥

Bound 2

 2.          Minimalism and raw sound
   Instead of the usual "smooth" beats, there are distortions, noises, voids and evil synths. Kanye deliberately breaks patterns and creates chaos that sounds fresh and daring.

Black Skinhead 

 3. Subject matter and lyrics
   He's cocky, vulnerable, angry, and brilliant at the same time. The songs include racism, consumption, cupcake, glory, ego and God. It's blatant, rude, and not always convenient. But that's exactly what gets you! 👑

A moment with Tour Yeezus 

4.           Provocative image and presentation
   Without a cover, without a name on the front, just a red sticker and a transparent case. Minimalism to the limit. It was a manifesto against the industry and its expectations.

The second moment from Tour Yeezus 

5. Influence

   Yeezus influenced a whole generation of artists. His audacious audacity has helped to create projects such as 
To Pimp a Butterfly or Blonde — the mainstream became more daring and experimental after it.

Thank you so much for reading!🦦

Tyler's "IGOR" album, The Creator, was released in 2019 and was widely acclaimed by both critics and listeners. Here are a few reasons why this album is considered outstanding.:

Experimental sound: "IGOR" combines elements of hip-hop, R&B, funk and pop music. This creates a unique atmosphere and makes the album diverse.

I THINK 

Personal themes: The album explores complex emotions related to love, loss, and self-identification. Tyler shares his experiences and inner conflicts, which makes his music deeper and more sincere.

A moment from the tour

Conceptual integrity: "IGOR" is a concept album with a clear narrative line. Each song adds to the overall story, which makes listening more fun.

A BOY IS A GUN

A producing genius
Tyler produced the entire album himself — and he did it brilliantly! He plays with textures, timbres, and breaks patterns. Each track is like a musical puzzle.

The crazy theory is that Igor is Tyler The creator 

Commercial and critical success 🏆📈
IGOR became No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and won a Grammy for Best Rap Album. Although, according to Tyler himself, it's not really rap — it goes beyond the genre. 💥

I THINK 

Igor's image is a blonde wig, glasses and aesthetics of the 70s. It's memorable, just like the album itself — strange, stylish, and deep. 

NEW MAGIC WAND 

In short: IGOR is a mix of chaos, feelings and genius that you want to listen to over and over again. Have you turned it on yet? 🎶🩷

Well, thanks for reading.

After reading the title of the post, you will probably ask me: "Skeleton, what were you smoking? Go get out!" Don't worry, my friends, I'll explain everything now:

Do you remember the post about my CD collection? In it, I spoke very flatteringly about the band Underworld and their album Oblivion With Bells, giving it a ten out of ten. Continuing to add to my collection, I began to look for other records of this group and found Beaucoup Fish released in 1999 on Avito.

Having taken it for myself, I immediately listened to it. And so... Forget what I said about Oblivion With Bells. It's not a 10/10. Beaucoup Fish is a ten. No, a hundred out of ten! No bitch, it's a mower out of 10!!! The album impressed me so much that I would like to analyze it more specifically here in my blog. And so that you don't spit on the monitor, because for you electronic music is the piss of a camel, I decided to entice the reader with an animation. Or rather, I called Hitori Goto from the anime "Lonely Rocker!" so that they would also listen to each track and share their emotions when listening (something similar was in my other post with Tika Fujiwara). Or if you just like my literary style, then have a nice read!

Yeah, these guys

But before I tell you what makes this "fish" so good, a few words about the band itself: Underworld is a duo (formerly a trio) of boys from the UK (the birthplace of iconic electronic music), consisting of Carl Hyde and Rick Smith. Before making music, they painted paintings and also worked as dishwashers at a local rock club. Starting to tear up plates and craft salads, the guys decided to join the world of sound writing themselves, only at first it was not entirely successful: their then-band The Screen Gemz was not fucking needed by anyone. Later they founded another band: Freur. And they also shit themselves.

And only from the third pass did Hyde and Smith more or less succeed: their Underworld MK1 suddenly fired and then it started!

Beaucoup Fish

And here is the hero of the occasion. The fifth official album of the Anders then, in '99, gave a lot of shit to the entire dance scene. The album was very well received by music critics and remains the band's best-selling album to date. 

Let's not delay, let's move on to the songs:

Cups

The album begins with a rather harmless and unpretentious techno track that runs for almost 11 (!) minutes. But despite this, the track sweeps through your head very quickly and there is no feeling of tightness. In addition, Cups is divided into two parts and the transition between them gives the impression that you listened to a certain DJ set in miniature. The beginning has been made!

8/10

Push Upstairs 

An excellent and dynamic progressive trance composition with a very catchy piano melody. I especially wanted to mention how Hyde sings here. It doesn't even sound like singing, but rather like reading out some kind of prayer or sermon. It turns out very strangely and out of place, but at the same time it takes the vocals. 

9/10

Jumbo

This track gives off some vibes of The Chemical Brothers and early The Prodigy. Also, a rather simple and ordinary composition, but for some reason I want to listen to it further. Probably because of the haunting bass melody that will be spinning in my head after eavesdropping for a long time.

8/10

Shudder/King Of Snake

Along with Moaner, this track is one of the main tracks in the album and one of the most famous in the band in general. The number of remixes and bootlegs for this song is slightly more than before. The song itself is gorgeous, with so many different sounds and percussion appearing in it every time that you can go crazy. And the remix by Fatboy Slima turns the track into a meaty and tearing f*alo bigbit, which is no worse than the original.

10/10

Winjer 

Suddenly, after three dynamic and danceable compositions, the Anders decided to slow down the tempo with this ambient techno track. A very calm, atmospheric and enveloping thing, listening to which creates the feeling that you are deep in Antarctic waters. I haven't heard a staff like that from a DJ since Narayan!

10/10

Skym

An even quieter track, which is already a full-fledged ambient. Just light, barely audible electronic synths. And nothing more. Although the vocals were superfluous here, the track would have been even better without it. Probably...

8/10

Bruce Lee

Well, we've had a rest and we can slam again. This song is a very pretentious and delivering piece in every sense in the style of electro, hip-hop and alternative. By the way, the beat reminded me of the Robbie Williams song Supreme, only tougher and more brutal. Why not?

8/10

Kittens

Absolutely every album should have some kind of "snot", i.e. a track that does not stand out in comparison with the rest. This track took over this fate. Well, I played here, although the track is still as dynamic and was even taken by the soundtrack to the Wipeout game, but this time it is very boring and ordinary. And it takes too long to accelerate. Although the name is very cute: "Kittens" = Z

6/10

Push Downstairs

Reworking of the second track from progressive trance to ambient. The tempo has decreased, the basses and synths have changed from powerful and disconnected to deeper ones, the text has changed slightly. It turned out very well, although the first version delivers much more.

7/10

Something Like a Mama

Another relaxing composition, only at a high tempo. The song smooths out falling breakbeats with soft ascending pads, and guitar taps add depth and atmosphere to the track. Almost a perfect score!

9/10

Moaner

Well, that's the finale. And perhaps the most memorable track of the album. What's the point: the track begins with a rather ordinary techno, but each time more and more brutal and greasy gadgets are added to it. And if at first you just move your head slightly, then by the third minute your whole body is already cold.

But this is just the beginning. In the middle, the track returns to its initial state and Carl Hyde begins to read his "sermon" again. At first, he reads in Borya Moiseev's dull voice, but again, over time, he begins to raise his voice more and more, almost breaking down in the end. And with it, just like the first time, the music becomes more psychotic and disconnected. 

This. Simply. A*uenno. The highest score!!!

10/10

Such things. Until recently, I had 2 pillars of the best electronic albums: These are The Fat Of The Land from DJs and Dig Your Own Hole from Chemicals. But after I bought and listened to Beaucup Fish, there were 3 of these pillars. Critics referred to the album as the "Dark Side of the Moon" of electronics, and I agree with them 146%. I highly recommend you to listen!

Well, how do you like Hitori? Did you like it?

- Yeah!

I knew it. 

My respects for reading!^^
