The fifth album
from this Russian electronic music duo of Max Khachmanukyan
(music sampling, keyboards, market rituals), and
Leonid Makarov (sound
engineering, drums programming, and electronic manipulation). This is a concept
album regarding the tyranny of stock markets. The CD`s divided in three parts:
A – Walstreet requiem =
tracks 1 to 10 (39 %).
B – Trivial pleasures =
tracks 11 to 21 (41%).
C – Financial glossary =
tracks 22 to 32 (20%). I have to admit this is not an easy listen. The music is
electronically oriented. It goes into different styles: chill-out electronica
(beats included), ambient techno, minimal ambience, space muzak, ambient noise,
various experimentations, ambient and weird alien videogame music (the last
breath of a dying videogame machine someone`s playing on Pluton). It took me a
couple of listen to understand and fully appreciate this. Good stuff. Limited
edition of 500 copies (mine`s # 135). This baby came out on Zhelezobeton
in 2008. Contact for availability: http://zhb.radionoise.ru/eng/news.html
