Comment: I have been watching like many of you the World Championship of Football In Russia. While being a big sport fan since my very childhood I shall have to admit my relation and attitude toward the sport has been changed over the years. Let`s take a good extraction about it in comparison to the art (music, literature, visual art, motion picture). My relation to the art is based on partaking in art by enjoying it, by actualising it, by creating a value/virtue. Indeed, the art refracts your life because it is frequently bigger than the life and always it is more ennobling and powerful. My relation to the sport is simply affective, it is not based on creating a real value and virtue. It is just an obsession or a psychosomatic trace in my brain. Furthermore, given that by following medical terms I would like to add that football seems to be a highly autistic act. An event of the sport used to have a bare, confined value at a time while you are watching it. It does have no value later. I guess there is no value altogether on its own if someone would be watching the competition between Columbia-England, on July 03, 2018 some years later, for instance. It will change into a mere historical fact but it is not an event anymore. Because of that all kinds of the art used to be more superior on their own. There are many other aspects else to be added to this list (for instance, regarding monetary, financial aspects the gap between them could be even more catastrophic). I am here to always listen to the albums of the The Smiths, Cagey House, My Bloody Valentine, The Fucked Up Beat, Tim Hecker, The Fall, Miles Davis, Stereolab, Cocteau Twins, CAN, Faust, GYBE!, Kraftwerk or read the poems by Edgar Allan Poe, William Somerset Maugham, or H. P. Lovecraft or whoever else (but I do not really care of sport events being happened 5, 10, 20 years ago). It certainly broadens your mental and psychic world instead of playing on your mean instincts. Given that the music is a part of the art, it may be the most layered art with regard to discrete experience by a person because one could always discover new aspects distinctly and in accordance with the previous immense vestige. Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, US-based Radio for the Daydreamers is over there to cope with this immense vestige. Denoument as a word and as the title of the album refers to a problematic process. The result would come out as a coherent and convincing one, though, yet you could pin down the problematic aspect within it. It is a premise of how to integrate indie and jazz into a vivid, self-perpetuating whole while doing away with any exaggerations and overstatements. The issue is a part of the discography of Black Square. In a word, the value of this issue is certainly more worth than the victory of the Stanley Cup in the combo`s home city. Ars longa, ludus brevis.

Remix

Comment: this set of 7 tracks (clocking in at a 33-minute) composed by a Russian artist, Alexei Kalinkin is a fine blend of crystalline rhythms, warped synth manipulations somewhere in the middle and spacey synthesised orchestrations atop. More profoundly, those rhythms are fragile running in the vein of post-IDM, and digitalized funk progressions. Undoubtedly the album has no remote distance with specific spokes from indie electronic, hazy electronic jazz/nu jazz/acid jazz and ambient pop either. Even if you do not have a direct reference to it you could perceive it indirectly being laid behind the aforementioned styles. Indeed, many kinds of rhythmic variations are mobilized and activated over there resulting in a sublime flow. There are up a couple of remixes either – one of them is a remix on Atomar Sense (Leisure-B`s remix) by adding a hip-hop component to the blend, the second one is Julian Winter`s remix on Clever. The solid issue is a part in the roster of Humanworkshop.

The Line Of Apollo – The Line Of Apollo EP (2017)

Bonimedia

Punk rock
Emo
Alternative rock
Power pop

Comment: The Line Of Apollo is a combo from Russia whose handful of tracks is all but post-rock as mistakenly described at their Bonimedia Site. Come on, dear people, it is not an example of post-rock by seeing it at any angle being available. It does have nothing in common either with such bands as Mono or Stereolab which in turn are very diverse by its nature in comparison with one another. However, the particular one is a solid example of post-hardcore and emo rock and especially power pop which by lyrics is induced by unhappy love and harking back to memories (which is a kind of obsession on its own). Given that the songs are sung by male voice (in Russian) I have to admit most men used to idealize their (previous) relationships though there is actually no reason to do it.
