Glass-mastered CD in 4-panel matte laminated sleeve.

Dusted, Bill Meyer:

The album projects a massive presence, with long, low tones looming like moisture-burdened cloudbanks seen just before dusk. Squint with your ears, however, and you’ll hear a lot more happening, although it’s not always clear what it is. Electrical sounds sizzle and pulse, and radio captures mutter, flickering deep in the murk. Chase them with your ears, and you’ll happen upon another layer of sound, mostly collected on Russian streets and train platforms. Turn it up loud enough for everything to register and you’ll find yourself feeling very small indeed

Colta magazine,

“If you listen carefully and thoughtfully to the music here, you will definitely notice how the world around you changes: you start to notice events and sounds that were ignored before, and you discover whole new layers of slow and sparse information hidden everywhere in the most prominent place.”

Vital Weekly, Frans De Waard

Throughout these pieces, Belorukov goes for quite a dense sound. The synthesizer creates a thick, vast carpet of sound, and on top of that we hear whatever he adds; lots of field recordings there, also extensively layered, geography disappearing here. Also, more individual electronics are placed on top of that. The best thing is to put up the volume quite a bit, as some details may be lost at a lower volume. Once it is a bit louder, the multi-coloured music shines best.
