HYPNOZ - 'Breath Of Earth' CD (Zhelezobeton)
(2008) Hypnoz is a project of Dmitry Zubov, a Moscow musician, who endowed lovers of post-industrial music with such names as Hum and Staruha Mha. Since 1993 Hypnoz has released one CD on Russian label Insofar Vapour Bulk, which gathered tracks from different periods and a couple of very limited editions. The basis of most of the tracks for "Breath of Earth" was recorded by Dmitry together with Evgeny Voronovsky (Cisfinitum) during their joint night psychedelic sessions, and this is evidently felt in their mood. Stylistically this can be called tranquil electronic ambient with a remarkable experimental touch. Slowly twisting sound helixes, drawing inside the astral subspaces, pulsating rhythms, cosmic sounds of old analogue synths. Outsize package. Ltd x 500 copies.
Debut release from Zhelezobeton's sublabel Muzyka Voln. This compilation of the same name contains compositions from 12 Russian projects playing ambient / drone music. Each project introduces the listener to its own sound world: mystical stories, isolationism, altered states of consciousness, space landscapes, monotonous technogenic rumble, guitar passages and much more. Exclusive tracks from: Anthesteria feat. Kaj?, Cisfinitum, Bardoseneticcube, Closing The Eternity, Exit In Grey, Hum, Instant Movie Combinations, Kshatriy, Lunar Abyss Deus Organum, Necropolis, Polaris and RemoteBand. A great comp for those interested in the Russian experimental scene and for lovers of beautiful contemplative music. Ltd x 500 copies in a six-panel digipak, decorated with photos of the Baltic Sea.
