"S'ol" - "S'ol"

The album "S'ol" remarkable singer Olga Dzusova shows viciousness straight up west good music for our poor soils. The absence of any adaptation achievements "Cranberries" the specific sound of the Russian language has been reduced to zero, all the tricks of experienced musicians. But in the receiving plate participates oh, what a musician! Here and musicians of "Masha and the Bear" in full - guitarist Maxim Khomich and Vyacheslav Motylev, drummer Vyacheslav Kozyrev. Here and bassist Denis Petukhov (ex-"naive") and winds, Alex Straton (ex-"Quarter") and violinist Alexander Luchkov (ex-"Mango"). Efforts of the Russian rock in the studio assembled a monster "Crystal Music" Michael Kuvshinova, directors and Linda lookout. And what happened? Musicians enjoy playing the music that is "cool" under prozapadnicheski like-minded musicians. Grunge and post-grunge, Britpop jets and fireworks nu-metal played with a rare freedom of spirit and selfless despair. Musician how to understand what doomed to misunderstanding. And they are really fucking. Since the output is very indistinct utterance of educated people. Salad for which all of this? None of the hits on the album. If for the sake of demonstration of the beautiful vocals of Olga Dzusova, even this has not happened. Among the 12 tracks with vocals, there is not one in which the first term masterly technique would perepevshey singer in almost all outstanding albums of Russian rock. Voice is always behind wheezing and creaking guitars. Voice strangled incredible amount of guitars. Say, could be a hit, "The Seagull" with a catchy chorus a word. But the benefit of the song made optional guitars that do play well, but that. No melody chorus or even variations on the theme Dzusova hide deep voice gurgling and wheezing. And he's incredibly lonely. None of the guys puts his shoulder male vocal lines. Nobody wants to play either together or at least with intervals with improvised melody. The violin and flute. On the contrary, each striving something else to play very creative and fashionable. But in the end everything is layered over each other creatively, like a cake soggy. And the only memorable song on the album - just play without Olga Dzusova. It is generally instrumental, called "Arabica". In her famous musicians were full in a genre called ethnic trip-hop or dub could be, and who remember the mention "Gabin" or "Banco De Gaia". Herein is only a pity that the composition of the soundtrack simply splagiachena Eric Serra to the famous film "The Fifth Element" by Luc Besson, and should have, "Little Light of Love", and not "Arabica". Now back up to the designated topic of the Russian language and import substitution. If the voltage jumps in the word and sings with the right to wrong again, it's decoration. If the stress is not always in place, think about the origin of the product. So what happens when composing melodies, then regardless of the composed text, and then someone comes along and says. And if you do not fit into each other, he hammered a hammer, breaking the litter around the edges. The album "S'ol" Hammer worked more musicians. Starting with the first song "In December," where the stress fly back and forth, so it is difficult to understand the basic meaning of the words. And ending with the last "on fungi." Masterpiece, of course - the line "When we went to the other side." In short, the confusion and indecision. What we have in Russia under pressure sensitive dictator (who does not Olga Dzusova the soft sign) done, or to find out in a plate at a time ... I can not decide. But the creative success of Olga Dzusova album "S'ol" is anything but. Individual player can show a good company apart from the songs on good riffs and build pride. Maybe it was for the good of all and started? The album "S'ol" is for people who are respected and grunge make sure that no one in Russia is not recommended to play in the position. Not for lovers of beautiful melodies and various Russian recommended. Vadim Ponomarev, NEWSmusic.ru "Bird Fabric". The album release was in December 2005
