Grundik+Slava are two Russian immigrants in Israel, they make some weird music. I think for some people hard to accept. The music brings you in a kind of ecstatic moods. The music is more psychedelic than Pink Floyd. The music is very different from Pink Floyd: it's made on a computer.
It's hard to tell you what kind of music it exactly is on this tape. "La nenavizu svoi sadik" sounds threatening, with help from some sampled violins. Catz Waltz contains a pianosample and a lot of strange sounds. Alison is a song with voices, ghosts are the subject. Also A Night in November has some voices in it, but this time they are in slow-motion. Expirimental sounds are dazzling in my head. Lavatory Pan sounds like an underground barrel-organ. Just when you think you know what you hear it changes in something else. Lost. Other songs are folkloristic(!) and other songs are freaky.
Turn you're volume high and close your eyes. Some illusions in my head. This is what I call a trip without mushrooms!

Based on cyclic and light sounds the fourth Grundik + Slava album gently explore new solutions in experimental music. “Lost fado” for example is based on percussive sounds, pads, Asian choirs and could explain really well what I mean. The title …FOR ELECTRONICS AND BIRDS and the cover art, are both a good hint about

After “For electronics and birds” the album “Frogs” is the second in Grundik + Slava’s fauna series. As the title presumes, all the music is dedicated to frogs. The titles of the songs enhance this presumption even more. As on it’s predesessor “For electronics and birds” the electronic music is amplified by sound of

Grundik and Slava, the highly respected and fruitful duo that originated in Israel in 1994, currently share their time navigating their music between Israel and New York. On Frogs, they benefit from the undeciphered vocals of Victoria Hanna (at times whispering in a Gilli Smyth manner), and some bass work by Kruzenshtern & Parohod’s Igor

Igor “Grundik” Kasyansky and Slava Smelovsky are Russian Jews based in Israel, and have three previous releases on Israeli labels, but this is their first to have international distribution. It’s perhaps a little surprising to discover that this album’s title means what it says: the pretty ambient electronics produced by its creators do accompany sampled
