"Pilot" - "1 +1 = 1"

Delicate sounds of ethnic melodies combined with heavy guitar riffs, the spirit of shamanism and Buddhism, poetic sermon about finding love and light - all this new album, "Pilot" to all the rules of arithmetic, called "1 +1 = 1", violated the means complex process, in which the whole of the sum of the parts of one and the worlds - the universe. CD. "A & B Records", 2008. His first album, "Pilot" was published in 1997. Then, no money for special equipment, musicians just makes the microphone out the window and picked up the sounds of the street, gives the song a unique flavor Petersburg courtyards and smoky kitchens. In this sense, the group, and served until 2002, does not have the album "Mona Lisa". Emotionally resonant, uneven, even nervous, he made a "pilot" original and different from others. After him came the album "Our Heaven" where the hero - disappointed romantic, forced contact the vulgar reality even later - Hard album "Fish, Mole and Pig" against the evils of society, and in 2006 was completed in the tradition of Russian rock "B / W" in which the "pilot" somewhat "soft" and skeptics began to say that he tried to go to the existing formats, and experiment with the former not afraid of arrangements " pilot "never no more again. "Pilot" - "1 +1 = 1", the new album was to move everything in its place, to argue. Long before his release promised Ilya devil that the sound of the record eccentric "Mona Lisa" remembers so loved by most fans. Was part of the promise, but if the "Mona Lisa" - a revelation looking man, "1 +1 = 1" - but they already found and treatment are clearly aware of the way. The main idea of the album says in the song "Karma", "Now I know the answer: We are with you - a - we are light." This recording is both a traditional and non-traditional for the band. It Ilya devil and his dream came sludge rock with folk tunes and much stihodeklamatsy. Get the original and organic: mixed creating a mysterious atmosphere in violation of all the laws of chronology and time. As for music, there is the "pilot" has returned to its former ornate sound, but in an unusual heavy losses before the long songs are much longer. The album contains the song "Time", which lasts for more than 12 minutes and consists of a variety of rhythm and style, to the kind of rock. Not enough "pilotovskoy" violin, but his absence is covered with soft melodic keyboard parts. Lyrically, they have less vitality. When former hero Elijah hell could recognize himself, he is now immersed the audience crowded into the complicated world of different legendary creatures like winged cats, dragons and basilisks. In this world of blurred faces of reality, and the person is more than a man, he can be an extraordinary possibilities and break down the door between the eternities, and life on earth - this is just one of the ways that will happen . So, perhaps, the album "1 +1 = 1" can be called completely esoteric. Lyrics Ilya features like a challenge for those who are not prepared to juggle the concepts of "karma", "Veda", "dzhedaizm" understand "astral". However, fans of the "Pilot", familiar with the latest interview of Elijah, most likely, not be surprised. The album was an original result of all this, what he had said. Plate "1 +1 = 1" - music is not for everyone, music that is not fully fit, even in formats rock culture. But these days it has become fashionable, unformatted. Of course, the album is long-time fans of the band, who are ready for such a metamorphosis were estimated. Those for whom the "Pilot" begins with a very lively and hysterical "B / W" may have disappointed a new job Petersburg "devil". And another special feature: will listen After the third or fourth album perceived quite differently. So if he is absolutely not like the first, it makes sense pereslushat it a couple more times.
