VA - 'Convergence' CD (FullDozer)
Despite their different musical styles, (Glitch, IDM, Dark Ambient, Neoclassical, Power Noise etc) these artists turn out to have a lot in common - all united by an experiment, an attempt to break through the defined borders of direction. Convergence (a strong coming together) and its many uses in language, is the inspiration of this collection. Feat: Andrey Kiritchenko, Brain Fork, Brompton's Cocktail, Fizzarum, Hladna, Noises Of Russia, Notchnoi Prospekt, PalSecam, Porch Nap, Spies Boys, Theodor Bastard, Vishudha Kali and Volga - plus a bonus track from S.P.U.L.
UK edition of this Moscow-based group's 7th album. Whilst one of the core members, Alexei Borisov, remains a prolific force in contemporary electronic sound-art, Volga successfully weave a wide range of influences. Driven by the highly impressive, strong and often haunting voice of Angela Manukjan, Volga's sound carefully picks away at electronica's more interesting contours; electro-acoustic elements; mantric dance rhythms and a variety of traditional, Shamanistic or folk styles from both their native country and far beyond. Most of Angela's lyrics are derived from 19th Century Russian folklore, lending the native vocals an even more unique slant. Volga appeared on Susan Lawly's 'Extreme Music From Russia' compilation.
