Review:
The second release of Ctacik a.k.a. Stanislav Popov for Verato
Project (Vital Weekly 486) and it"s nicely packed
inside a wooden frame, like a small painting. "Amur Region" is a
major step forward from the previous "Ego-generocity". Whereas
that one was loaded with a lot of noise, signaling from various
radio waves, this one goes into the direction of ambient music.
Still of course this not ambient music with the big A spelled
out, as the sonic pictures Ctacik depicts for us are way to
dark, bleak and post-nuclear warfare like, this is a major step
forward in the development of his sound. Working with analogue
of digital synths, the radio waves seem to have vanished, well
perhaps, they are still there, but we aren"t know. New is the
addition of field recordings, which make up a big part of the
long "WED66F6" piece, which is the major tour de force of this
release. Not dissimilar to many other dark ambient cum drone
projects, but Ctacik does a rather nice job. Roads to explore,
me thinks.
