Oo jaa, need üheksateist minutit kolme kompositsiooni raames Tšehhi artistilt Vlad Presnetsovilt on imeilusad. See muusika on liigagi ilus, et olla tõsi. Aga tõsi ta on, eeldusel, et on ilus. Ämbient ja droonmuusika on üksteisest nähtamatult läbi kasvanud, tuues esile orkestreeritud ilu ja staatilise lumma. Tuues esile pealtnäha staatilise lumma, mis tegelikkuses võngub ja vibreerib. Heledatämbrilised kihid saavad tuge bassistelt, ent maitsekatelt madalsagedustelt. Ühelt poolt võimendades ning teisalt pakkudes variatsioone. Selle iluduse on üllitanud Vene plaadifirma ΠΑΝΘΕΟΝ.

Comment: this 3-notch outing is a part of the Russian imprint ΠΑΝΘΕΟΝ (otherwise Pantheophania) which has issued such artists as Tim Six (btw, the founder of the imprint), Somniorum, EugeneKha, Alineko, Desolated Horizons, Creation VI, SiJ, Free Tibet, Dvory, Nemertis, XPAAM among others. Voies is an instrumental outing with epic heights reaching guitar flow and undulating cellophane-alike hisses backing it up. Guitar is the central instrument which is played with varying accents at times getting impulse from post-rock and ambient rock, however, more ominous growling loans obviously a bit from within post-metal/doom-laden metal and darkgaze. It might be proper to call it progressive shoegaze because the former element cannot be rejected from one's listening experience. In mid-2018 the artist abandoned the name and had continued under the name Accasari.
