Artur, who stays behind ROZA project, hails from Kharkiv, Ukraine, but nowadays he lives in Poland. All his music sounds, according to him, in a russian-kosmicshamanhypnocontactee style. Hell of a description, but it suits ROZA's tracks very well.
What we really like about the album is that it's almost impossible to characterize it in a matter of specific musical genre or style. This is the music which can be depicted in such terms as "good" or "attractive", or "visionary" or "surreal" but not "rock", "hip-hop", "glitch", "negerpunk" or whatever is usually on your iPod/Winamp.
The album starts with a deep, vibrant sound which reminds me the final dark electronic period of Coil magicians-musicians. But soon the music turns into some sort of Tribal-Folk with a heartbreaking chorals, freakish oriental drum patterns, and blurred sitar/string melodies which flows in an endless ocean of acoustical noises. The more you listen to this epic ballade-intro, the more you realize that "GLitch ov Batumi" will settle down in your mp3-player for a long time. On the "Irenashvili djan" song you'll have to deal with catchy overdriven acid flavored oriental broken beats a-la Muslimgauze. And on the "Mountings" you'll be drowned in a deepest lake of abstract ambient. And the comprehensive title of "Drummers ov God" song needs no additional comments.
"GLitch ov Batumi" is definitely one of the best albums we received this year and we're really happy and proud to share this music with you – we really hope it's not the latest piece from the wonderful ROZA project. And he already promised to send us more stuff. Let the beat contact your body...
