Hypnoz- Breathe of Earth

Hypnoz is a project from Moscow suburb town Fryazino, which endowed the lovers of post-industrial music with such names as Hum and Staruha Mha.

The basis of most of the tracks for "Breath of Earth" was recorded by Dmitry Zuboff together with Evgeny Voronovsky (Cisfinitum) during their joint night psychedelic sessions, and this is evidently felt in their mood. Stylistically this can be called tranquil electronic ambient with a remarkable experimental touch – but who thinks about it while recording? Slowly twisting sound helixes, drawing inside the astral subspaces, pulsating rhythms, cosmic sounds of old analogue synthesizers, – all this produces an appropriate effect on the listener's mind, and there's nothing more to demand from music

Russian artists often have a special skill to make music which appeals to the deepest emotions, and encapsulates a profound mysticism. A prime example of this school is Hypnoz, a projekt by Dmitry Zubov, assisted by Evgeny Voronovsky of Cisfinitum.

Breath of Earth is, in accordance with the name, earthy mysticism, music that expresses the unique feeling of the "brown seasons", late autumn and early spring, when the wet earth lies bare. The music takes the shape of kraut-ish (but also drony) ambient, make with analogue synthesizers. Many artists today make this type of psychedelic and slightly retro ambient, but something in Hypnoz just hits the spot. They make the recipe work perfectly, and find that hypnotic flow that drags you with it. It is easy to be spellbound by its beautifully thick frequencies, fascinating half-melodies and pulsating rhythms.

This is among the best releases I have heard this year, and gets my warmest recommendations.
