Vespero / Foam - Live 2006 (2008) / pro-duplicated CD-R $11.00

Here is an official re-release of VESPERO’s self-produced limited cdr-album “Concert At The Union Of Theatre Artists” which was recorded in December 2006 and finally published by the US-based label Trail Records in 2008. It was a good decision to pull that record out of a line of numerous self-made releases as the album differed a lot from band’s other live or studio out-puts. It was conceived as an unplugged live performance featuring an interesting acoustic percussionist-tandem by Ivan Fedotov (a regular band’s drummer) and Alexander Krupin (a special guest) as well as more expanded presence of female-vocalist Natalia Turina. The other core-members were all there: Alexander Kuzovlev (guitar), Arkady Fedotov (bass, flute, synthesizer) and Alexei Klabukov (keyboards). The sextet played mostly unpublished compositions and tried to create a sort of mellow meditative trance atmosphere mixing elements of ethno-psychedelia, world-fusion, and space-rock in their own unique way. And they quite succeeded in their trippy experiments. The overall sounding quality of the album is quite good though still unpolished with some background crips and noises. It’s not very clear why the release came out as a CD-R (and not regular CD) because in comparison with self-released “Concert At The Union Of Theatre Artists” neither album track-list nor sound-quality were not changed principally (it seems that Trail Records just made a new artwork). Anyway, we have “Foam”, a solid live recording from the band’s pre-“Rito” history (possibly the first from the VESPERO musical archives). (6 tracks - 46 min.)

The album was reviewed at: ProgressiveEars (USA), ProgArchives (USA), Progressive Area (France), MADZ-zine (Russia), DPRP (UK), Psychotropic Zone (Finland), Terrascope Online (UK), The Silent Ballet (USA), Aural Innovations (USA), ProgGnosis (USA), Sea Of Tranquility (USA).
