Comment: indeed, it is time to give a comment on Ludo Maas' sequel to an album, Rekordgate I which had been released in March 2018. Similarly to it one can hear nylon-tinged acoustic guitars and bubbling electronic beats and wobbly synthesised sounds popping out for a while. In fact, Ludo Maas sings here as well though it is shardly decipherable because of being catatonic and pushed to the background. On the other side, it is not an example of shoegaze at least (or at least, it is the one and only common thread). However, in comparison to the previous notch it seems to be more restrained and phlegmatic as if coming through the mindset of a person of having suffered depression before it, he or she is yet fragile enough to trudge forward with more steady steps; for sure, it is the artist's choice as a step to go on and release brand new ones. Later on, listeners would give a retrospective estimation about each release within the series. Let's wait for the third one.

Comment: Maxim Trianov is a musician from Kharkov, Ukraine whose 7-track issue (clocking in at a 48-minute) is predominantly an immersive thought through electric and acoustic guitars and electronics induced effects. Undoubtedly the main heaviness is set up by the guitars in different forms – at times it is set out as organic, subsequent progressions through the chords, at times it involves more incisive interruptions based on effects unit and effect control devices. As if getting obsessively into the essence of a sonic minutia to be explored. At times there are set up a dialogue between the guitars and a lurking atmosphere as if lashing the ghosts around and inside him. Electronic music is foremost set forth at The Morning After which is a platform to meld together glitched-out electronica and slamming electronic beats with broad progressive rock sweeps. The finishing track Outro is the electro-acoustic example. What I should say – imagine Slash were partly abandoned his rock star ambitions to play guitars in a more experimental mode. Of course I do not complain at all – Slash is a great guitar hero, and this case is an album of Maxim Trianov, who is also a great artist. This mind-provoking issue is a part of the discography of Nexsound, a Ukraine-based experimental imprint.
