Comment: this bunch of 15 compositions is dedicated to strangers/aliens/different kind of life forms. To those living beings having no deal with the human race and the planet Earth. However, contacts with a stranger may enrich our life. Otherwise it may result in annihilation of the human race given that species with lower intelligence have no potential to reach other planets in the galaxy. At least having had a fantasy about the stranger would result in one fine album. Musically it is a sultry blend of psychedelic synthesised whiffs, mid-tempo driven ethnic-tinged rhythms and intriguing electronic roundabouts and arousing loops. At times songs are sensualised by mystical female chanting as if mysterious supernatural creatures from within the Russian forests in fairy tales. So yeah, (horrendous) strangers can come from inside us and from our fears as well. Furthermore, given that we may be even more horrendous than our opposite ones. However, it is just a rough, very generalized overview of it. In fact, it embraces a hundreds of combinations in sonic and rhythmic texture. There are different depths, there are different intensities. It is search for balance between gravity and volatility. The impressive issue is a part of the discography of MNMN Records.
