Volodymyr Gnatenko

Volodymyr Gnatenko's "Mershiy" is a brilliant record from Kalahari Oyster Cult, recalling the finest psychoacoustic ambient dub the '90s had to offer. Somewhere between submerged video game OST and ritual incantation, the album is a mind-melt, but remains widescreen and meticulous throughout. It is less direct than his previous work, allowing space for IDM introspection and proper contemplation. This is a must-listen for anyone seeking a deep and mesmerizing electronic music experience.
