Riding high in the most downloaded chart over at the internet archive is this 2nd release from Russian netlabel “Pulsations For You“.

It’s a strange blend of electronica and jazz with a whole load of other influences chucked in, all in a very playful, light-hearted manner which I wasn’t really expecting from Russian electronica.

It’s oddness but very well done oddness, if you have a taste for the unusual you might just like it.

In this long waited release of the promising musician Alexander Ponkratov you will find versatile music incorporating elements of Jazz and Electronica with a perfect mix of acoustic and synthesized instruments. Remarkably performed and flavored by a complex gamut of human emotions it precisely conveys the mood purposed by the author.

Sometimes cheerful and bright and sometimes sad, this music reminds of the good old Soviet films and surrealistic cartoons. The artful design of melodic lines, harmonies and rhythms is unpredictable, but at the same time it keeps out of too complex improvisations maintaining thus the perfected parity of modern arrangement.
