Stop! It is intolerable to disregard this music. So, attention, please! There’s in front of you a reedition of the first album of the group – and it is not only pleasant to hold this disc in hands, but it is also worth doing that. Even if you don’t know, which music it carries. You should simply take a cover, slowly study it, read free verses published on a loose leaf. A feeling of gentle and filigree quality appears with you in advance. And a feeling of authenticity. Believe me, this presentiment will come true more than at one hundred percent. Because the music of this album is not simply music. It is something expressive and colourful – but it is not a picture, it is not paints. It is something deeper, something transparent. Only natural things can be like that – the sea in any weather, a streamlet somewhere in the mountains, the eyes of a horse or a deer, a green greeting of an old willow, a smile of an infant … only those things that can live may be like that …And alive ones … "Gabrielius" is more than jazz. One may hear inexpressible roots of North and West mixed with fervent rhythms of the South and patterned delicacy of the East. Is it ethno-jazz? Not only that. Not only folk roots, but also contemporaneity and modern language, as well as the face of our whole multi-coloured and multi-faced planet, can be found in this stream. It is impossible to listen to this music once or twice and then to forget. You will keep turning to it again and again. Of course, I don’t guarantee that. But – I hope sincerely.

..from the first seconds the strong stream of jazz-rock and fusion strikes – the Latin American component is first completely hidden. It emerges gradually, as if the balance is leveled – but folk-rock waves in the spirit of Jethro Tull also emerge, and then gestures toward the ambient and the Scandinavian electronic jazz, and that's far from being all ...

..despite the Oriental sophistication of the melodies and intricacy of the rhythms – it is very European music, in fact. And it is not so much about the jazz vein, rather about the ability to avoid the superfluous, which, with such richness and emotional intensity of the music, is a true feat.

Very transparent, juicy, quiet and confident and yet full of irrepressible life – this is what this work appears like. Stylistically, it continues the trend including the albums "Black" and "Red" – the pure jazz-rock line, with no direct immersions into the lounge or symphonicity. But in a much softer, tender version.

To enrich them with modern colors without destroying the subtle paths of the light joy inherent in Christmas carols and shchedrivkas – which is not an easy task. Since it requires great attention and tolerance. Finally, it just requires love for this music, for the roots – and love that is creative. And it seems – they have succeeded.

In its previous album "Pokosy", ShockolaD stepped away from jazz for an almost safe distance – the key definition of the work would be "ethno-lounge". Well, and this time the group seems to have decided to remix all familiar ingredients – both the ethno, and jazz, and acoustic lounge – and, sure, to season it with a few new colors.

Victor Solomin is virtually the only jazz domra-player in Ukraine, therefore the both of his ethno-jazz projects – "SolominBand" and "DomRa" – have here no immediate analogues just by definition. Besides, "DomRa" can boast two key instruments at once: those are the domra and the vocal, and it is they that provide the "ethnic component" of the sounding here.

"Kolomyikas" is a good album with bright pieces that are able to capture the audience as it is, even without associations with the material it derives from. In the end, there was no "weak link" in the team of the album’s creators. That is, probably, the reason why, without regard to the intense structure, there is within the music fabric – freedom, which makes it possible to breathe deeply.

Even today not too much of such music is being created in Ukraine – to say nothing about the middle of the last century.. Igor Khoma managed to involve really wonderful musicians into his band – the rhythm sections, the winds, the strings and the keys in various plays pleasantly surprise. But still the most striking thing is the authentic Ukrainian spirit of the music represented here.

If we begin from the end, we could do it so: this is a wonderful, heartfelt, clear, high-quality album – and at present this is the best album in the reserve of Anno Domini. All previous experience, all best qualities acquired new depth here, started shining with new colors. And if we begin from the beginning...

Yes, in this music you can still hear well the hot southern sun – but still, on the foreground, you have original cool elegance. And one can feel based on which law the space of the disc is designed: rather not to satiate, but to extend this space as much as possible – but softly.

...the album at once creates elated, festive mood – but in a surprising way. In the correct way. Because, although about a half of the compositions can hardly be called merry ones – a smile is very expressly felt in them. Somewhere dim, somewhere transparent, somewhere dreamy, somewhere thoughtful – but it is present in each piece, and it warms.

It seems to me that none who has at least once heard performance by Motion Trio – and the more so none who has seen it – will ever forget, mix it up with anybody. And the thing is not only original composition – although you will hardly find among performers of jazz, art rock, folk fusion another trio what would consist exceptionally of accordions.

It is great pleasure – to listen to music that has let in, changed, satiated and breathed out so many bright impressions, lives, root... When music is wide open – everybody can drink from it, see one's face in it, find in its one's real.

Samhein is the time beyond time, the few days absent from the calendar, the moment when our world collides with the other one, when spirits of the deceased descend from the hills and wander freely among the living. These are the last days for gathering crops, the time of the year's sum-up, the time to regain peace with yourself and with the world around you...

For every question has its answer, therefore as a result the amount of magic beauty in our world gradually increases – and thus more quiet happiness is reflected in human eyes. Music by the group Dark Patrick evidently demonstrates that even in sad melodies a trifle of joy always lives, and in joyful melodies there is always space for deep, free breathing.

Sure, Er. J. Orchestra is one of the most interesting Ukrainian projects in the domain of ethno-fusion today. And not only Ukrainian ones. Actually, this music is so organically intertwined into the world sound fabric – it is impossible to limit it with any borders, geographic or stylistic, etc.

It is for sure that Er. J. Orchestra today is one of the most interesting Ukrainian ethno-jazz projects. This album collects absolutely different streams around its center - but has no that center inside of itself. The center is inside of you, listener.
