One of the brightest interstellar events in history was SUPERNOVA 1006. This is
also the namesake of the Russian electronic music duo of Andrey Yukhovich
(singer/songwriter/guitar) Elizabeth Dolgikh (drums/synthesizers), who are about
to release their latest LP Technical Support.
The record, a worthy successor to SN1006Æs previous outing Blackout, evolving
into from Darkwave LP, into something more akin to what the crew on the BBC 4
series Skins would listen to, while maintaining a broad appeal ranging, catering
to the aural tastes of Technoheads, Post-Punkers, and Industrial/EBM kids.
This, however, is a political record, exploring the looming fear of Vladimir
Putin signing into law the ôsovereign internetö bill, an Orwellian piece of
legislation that would give the Russian government control over the internet in
ways that would rival that of ChinaÆs.
Of this theme for Technical Support, Andrey, and Elizabeth explain:
ôThe main idea of the album was to describe the boundaries of ideas we are
driven by the information field. Now any information has its limits and an
acceptable qualification. Maybe youÆve heard that thereÆs no freedom of speech
in Russia.
At the end of 2019 the country will begin to ôseparateö from the global Internet
with all the consequences.
One big Russian firewall will ôfilterö and ôprohibitö. Technical support û those
who build this firewall. These are the ones who will limit the development of
ideas and bury the unborn ones.ö

Technical Support opens strong with the track ôStill Highö and its bombastic
bass distortion techno beats. This leads into ôSinssö with its serpentine bass
synth and irregular percussion.
The next song ôGhost Ghostö is a single worthy track with a marching industrial
electro beat, evocative of Alice GlassÆ Crystal Castles fused with BlurÆs Damon
Alburn, and Nitzer EbbÆs Douglas McCarthy.
ôYour Messö revs slowly into an infectiously seductive EBM beat, evocative of
some of the recent output from Trent Reznor via Nine Inch Nails, while ôNMVV atö
is an unsettling barrage of unrelenting electro reiterations spinning like a
drill bit.
ôDisputeö is an unnerving melange of schizophrenic synth, comprised of both
nostalgic undertones beneath a modern repetitive drone. This is followed by
ôNeverö, which is dark, kinetic, with haunted house synths, evoking Alice Glass
once again.
The next track ôObey/Dieö is a demonic interlude of screeches, bass, and
percussion, while ôWhat Ifö is more slow, anxious, with a slightly deranged
aural psychosis underlaid with surreal synths and a pulsing beat think the
tapping of nervous fingers on an armrest.
ôVertigoö spirals into the vocal rhythms of Reznor once again, floating beneath
a churning sea of post-industrial techno madness. This gives way to the spectral
post-punk cavalcade of ôFaintö, that is relatively calming before the onslaught
of electro-clash frustration that is ôFeverö
The album closes with epic ôMeaningsö (feat. pulseCoder), which segues
masterfully from its slow metallic vibrating intro has a classic sci-fi feeling,
not unlike that of the classic Ron Grainer Dr. Who theme. This gives way into a
brilliant industrial techno liturgy that slips in a brilliant droning post-punk
guitar riff over itÆs conjured synthesis.
