Comment: by following titles of this 13-notch outing (Working For The Devil, Sinners Last Request, Revenge Is My Only Friend, Nicotine, Liquor & Blasphemy, Never Take Me Alive) one can admit the dark, adeptly stylised nature of the songwriter who is obviously influenced by such artsy juggernauts as Tom Waits, Nick Cave, and Johnny Cash whose aesthetics used to hark back to the blues music/delta blues at a more or less extent. On the other side, all these reclusive somber themes are appropriately backed up by sublime orchestrations, reverberant and sustained string chords and accentuated stretched singing manner with rich timbre as if providing an impressive depiction of the apocalypse. In fact, there is no difference either regarding personally or in general. One of the tags of the album is "cinematic" based on Spaghetti Western-alike/Morricone-esque exalted threads. I do not know is it the sign of the recent time and age but it fits in very appropriately to this ill-omened age with a little perspective to survive and evolve in an organic way and be in concordance with the universe. We can freely depict ourselves as a little cottage in Outer Space while being burdened with responsibility to tide it up and manage it rationally (we are subconsciously even more burdened by the alleged first sin and the fall of man). For still able to preserve our human-alike face rather than devolving to a fucked-up transgressive diabolical being (unfortunately I am a bloody dick by the way). However, one must not reclaim him/herself as a prophet to foresee hard times to come very soon when supposedly anyone must do very crucial decisions on the base of conflicting moral incantations and survival intentions. It may be happening like our beloved Johnny Cash sang at Wanderer /I went out walking/Through streets paved with gold/Lifted some stones/Saw the skin and bones/Of a city without a soul/. Partly because of that, it is a befitting listening leg and partly because of being somehow ennobling and purgative despite the doom-laden lyrics. The marvellous, schmaltz-free outing is a part of the discography of Death Roots Syndicate, and a part of the roster of Speak Up Recordings. By kindred souls, additionally to the abovementioned ones and artists from within the imprint, it is recommended the listening of Moses Luster.

Comment: KUNI (not to be confused with a Japanese hard rock guitarist) provides a variety of house, New Age, reverberations of ethnic music, psy-related vibes and something else more (which is stylistically enough crossed and littered to be not allowed to describe it more precisely) on Digital Diamonds imprint. Loosely it can be tagged progressive house though the impact must be pointed to the word "loosely". Benefiting the artist the soundscape of this 13-notch issue is vertically as deep as horizontally by providing bottomless ominous frequencies and sophisticated and mostly serene upper layers. At times such sort of ideals do fail because an artist's desired ambition to create simultaneously positively magniloquent and suggestive impulses do not magnify each other but interacting with one another by gnawing a possible synergistic set. It catches the listener's attention from the beginning to the very end. In the context of the issue the word "progressive" does mean technical in conjunction with the moody nature of the album. Kicking drums, slightly warped harmonies, profound echoes and poignant effects set up a fine party in a listener's head.
