Comment: the sonic explorations behind the name Andrey Kiritchenko (born in 1976) need not to be introduced actually. He is an experimental electronic music producer who has defined the imaginary scene of post-Soviet electronic music with Alexei Borisov, Kateryna Zavoloka, Younnat, Evgenij V. Kharitonov, Randomajestiq, Buben, and some other ones. Sidharta`s Mouse Clicking had been issued approximately 10 years ago showcasing his ingenious touch of how diverse styles should be crossbreeded with each other in seamless/organic way. The listener can perceive how dub music in the embodiment of ambient and dubstep does have different possibilites to evolve into a more quintessential one (reminding of the likes of Pole, Basic Channel-related things). Those subtle phase changes based on the modulations of synth sequences do make out an astonishing trace. By the way, the term "dubstep" was not used (invented?) then. On the other side, the parts of it will develop into a more abstract compartment of minimal/intellectual techno vibes a la Autechre or Kim Cascone. Furthermore, the 6-piece release used to have lots of energy and vital power oozing out both from carefully treated paces and ethereal layers. Or just call this power simply synergy. In a word, listen to it and sing this album to be a classic one. Never mind, it has already managed to be a classic one on its own.
