"Alice" released "Cast Away". How is it taken?

Adjust the album "Alice" as "Castaway". Constantine Kinchev tells how he this album. "Professional Sound is in our country in its infancy, - says Kinchev -. It is truly a professional, so that people know how to work for me, at least it is more convenient to work with the Germans.". "Write" the idea that the Germans have arisen on Kincheva long ago, had the experience of the previous album information ("Who's later than you think") in Germany, which finally authorized them in the thought that it is only necessary to with the German sound-producers work, with the work "and." What has been put into practice, the result was a "rogue state", a press release from the group. "Castaway" - and only once the song of the same name - a name with no options (!). "Cast Away," "Epiphany" and "Sun-Jerusalem" - the three most important things on the album around them "moving", or conversion into a coherent whole. Concept - the word does not apply to this album, if the "concept" not to be taken to a flood of sound is, however, quite rational, since the German pedantry and a penchant for order and chaos. Combination of Russian piercing impetuous with "German order" and professionalism in everything, including work on the sound was quite expected, "Alice" result - the harmony of emotion and rationality. It is worth noting the method of German comrades, the system has "commodity-money-commodity" does not work, even though it was the place to be. Nevertheless, the Germans did not want to work too boring, but I wanted to understand, especially to "what it all"., That the group has been the process of negotiations Translations of all texts with attempts made clarification "mysterious Russian soul", in the form of footnotes. Music, fortunately, no need to explain. Needed "clarification" on an emotional level, the Germans had come to Russia in full. The album was written by St. Petersburg "Dobrolet" that puts us clearly but mysterious inexplicably veil for foreigners visiting Russia for the first time - Petrograd Side, insanity creativity home child, where the studio, the Russian beer and impenetrable St . Petersburg in winter moisture and wind make a lasting impression on Jem and Dave, the fully affected their morale. Without the natural quality "Order! Order in everything!" they have multiplied the right besbashennosti shares surprised and a firm belief that found "Russia - a country inhabited by solid rock musician, good-natured and a joker and isklyuchetelno beautiful and chaste girl." However, the Germans have a share of mystery: the one and the second is called Peter, and why Peter. signaled as those Jem and Dave, for all remains a mystery Immerse yourself in the history of this move musician stopped ALICE quickly and just the idea that a traffic jam, the other Dave - are sound producer and sound engineer, and Peter Otto and Claus did not matter, since the speed and quality of their work . For two weeks, the entire album was recorded - worked for wear, but with pleasure. Sometimes prescribe Kinchev ended their mark by six clock in the morning, under pleading wheezing Eugene Levin "Bone, maybe tomorrow". Talk usually within five days after the start of recording Levin could not, because in addition to their regular duties (lead guitarist), he was sentenced to an interpreter, and that worked, turning everyone and everything (including calling the curious) from Russian into English and from English into Russian. Levin mastered this task with the same brilliance, with the entire system is extremely precise musician, at least experience in the Mariinsky Theatre Orchestra as a horn player, was not in vain. To facilitate the work processes Cem compiled a dictionary of words in Latin, "Once", "good", "very good", "Pi ... c", "g But," "it's time to drink coffee. " I must say that the two penultimate definitions used rarely, and among them never Vdovichenko Andrew (drums), his drumming not describe the words, so clearly he played. Sometimes it seemed that for a drum set sits stranger that is alien to the human manifestations inaccuracies or errors. Focused view of the "rhythmic genius" Vdovichenko, easy to use and the second party of the rhythm section Petr Sergeevich Samoilov, intently rooted their tracks, completely immersed in the game that works on issues - the dream of every bass gitrista. Maestro Romanov (lead guitar), since any virtuoso extremely impaired to the quality of his performance, was ready to play a hundred times the party, even if it was not necessary .... Sometimes it had to slow down, otherwise the album would be full of his solos that would some brute force, to be there, that the villain will be named in full a "guitar". Dmitry Parfenov, Donkey (keyboards) was ready for the shot before he started, because all made their games in a homely atmosphere. In the studio, he barely controlled process, for lunch at least five times a day. Done all the work had "reduced" and mastered, and that happened in the Cologne studio TOPAZ first and later in Dusseldorf SKAYLINE Tonfabrik. Determine the style of the album as always difficult - this applies to all works of Alice, and "rogue states" in particular. True seem, some journalists have not developed a musical and musicological training already a strange view that the new band, the songs can be heard in "deep hard rock." Without refute this view is worth mentioning that the guilt of the classic styles of music in the "density" of the same desire, of course, "the opera because of its outdated and ban old-fashioned," so that his contemporaries and descendants immortal by some 'creation "in a series of" blue sal. "Alice for the Army song was on" IZGOE not be "" new "because after the long tradition before the album played live. Maybe this is not quite right tactics to the laws of show business, but Kinchev can not keep the "secret" new things, but it is his right and his choice. Yet the album fans have been impatient. As the concert - a concert, a plate in his hands - is a different feeling. A sense of mystery, which are disclosed is both eager to pull out the cellophane from the box is a warm plate, click the Settings button "play" ... and-oh-oh-oh-oh-rushed! "And-and-and-and-and-accca!" And it does not matter what writes "music. Criticism," which is actually no, not journalists, most of whom are not with text or serious music or poignant sincerity, without slight sadness, no flood of energy that are satisfied in Alice . This group is not only a mockery (for far too long days required). Thank God. MY WAR - "If the light that is in me, it's dark, then as darkness," this question sooner or later every man asks himself. The answer to it is necessary to look for life. And even when life enough. Castaway - the title track of the album. Kinchev: "Speaking about the song, it's about the Savior And in general, what about ... those who build their lives, against the current of the river because only a dead fish" The star called ROCK - The name may be a bit presumptuous, does not change the fact that Alice is a group completely within the definition of seems "Rock Band". This song is the beacon that guides the movement of Alice, and change, where one can lose only the fact of adaptation and submission on behalf of the immediacy and questionable popularity. * Black - evil, but not ironic song. Characteristics of a "bottom up". Daily on the one hand a man devours so that he noticed it stops always on the fact that using "black is white and white is black." Between truth and lie lost, forgotten that. The road is not in a straight line, but in the sky Top is the goal of every person, but not everyone remembers, and not everyone knows what a pity. SUN JERUSALEM - Mountain Country, the heavenly Jerusalem - an elegant combination of what is and what will be. Ballad ... "We, the stones and sand of Palestine is rising gradually in the mountains of Jerusalem" Kinchev. WORD - one of those works that "pulls". Slow, heavy accumulation of six quarters. Whether or waltz blues ... This will talk about the music. Text stubborn stains without intonation gives the impression of an approaching storm, when it's dark, rumbling in the distance, and all full of expectation. In the song there is no solution, there is no final, not even the hope that a little strange for Kincheva, "... the days drove away in binges, swelling of the face. Crumple word font counting bed. Litter of empty chatter filled the heart and died in silent readiness to change anything ... "fear, millet and believe - an accusation that the law to" "zones, which are used, and raised the flag, even those not related to the prisons had to do, "do not trust you, fear not, you do not ask" - a vicious circle in which confuses people. Preferably without love, faith and hope live on a dead end and resentment. To jump out of this vicious cycle, you have to do is to change the priorities of the "Be afraid to ask, and to believe," but it's a lot of energy is needed. ANIMALS - outburst, one of those who for some reason as "social work." Sociality is not here, and a lot of pain. Beslan. Children who are shot in the back. What should not be forgotten. Something with which we can not accept, and probably can not be forgiven. Can only forgive those who experienced it, he will be awarded the right. And we, as outsiders, we have to remember not right, not have the right to define and enmity, since the animals in the herd, and we are, it turns out, one by one, and should be combined so that the blood of our children do not shed never humanlike animals did not consume us in and everything. ROCK - N - ROLL CROSS - Rock 'n' Roll - the way of the world, the cross - the way to heaven. One does not contradict contrary to idle speculation. "Carry your cross, and believe" - only earthly way seamlessly into the sky. In any case, it is an undeniable Kincheva law. That was the song. EPIPHANY ** - the name speaks for itself. I do not like 'Desk Reference atheist ", but probably will have to explain that the Orthodox Church has seven sacraments, baptism begins the first of everything....
