Comment: given that the word “stra(c)h” does mean “horror” in most Slavic languages and given that he has been around for years to reinterpret theoretical common sense understanding or prejudice of how a usual music style should sound then I guess the 6-track Balearen Kanaren might ring in a way we have had no comprehension so far. In fact, what are our expectations, what are our understanding of it? Balearic music is obviously depicted as a sort of sunshiny music but LF`s sound is morose, muddy and refracted as if chopped up in a busted-up tape recorder and then the tape pasted anew. One can hear some sort of progressive rock patheticness as if getting it from the body of work of his famous fellow countryman Czeslaw Niemen yet underpinned on behalf of the skulking RIO and Zeuhl scene. Where is the reason and where is an output could someone hint at precisely? You can hear enough electronic and guitar mixed noodling of progressive rock band until it turns either into a bit grating yet carnival-alike easy, humor-infused electronic templates or an unexpected dub-alike undertaking (Neighbourinna). One can find out lots of slight contradictions, conflicts, tensions but we call it playfulness of the game, isn`t? Horrendous playfulness of the game regarding the recent case being released on Underpolen.
