about

'The light at sunset is mysteriously pinkish.'

After Trip Trap, трип’s sub-label GALAXIID releases the debut album by the Species Of Fishes duo. The record, originally released by the Dutch experimental label Korm Plastics in 1994, has influenced two generations of post-Soviet musicians. 'Some Songs of a Dumb World' is like a quest that you can either take up or appreciate as a mosaic of different music styles.

Igor Kolyadny and Vitaly Stern initially worked separately but later shared ideas during home sessions to build their own psychedelic world. They used a large number of cassette samples, including the voices of physicists, paranormal researchers, astronomers, and wildlife TV show hosts, combining them with pulsating rhythms inspired by various electronic music genres. The result, as the duo described it in an Inverted Audio interview (inverted-audio.com/feature/species-of-fishes-envelop-the-expanse-for-newtype-rhythms/), is 'a sort of alienated, extraterrestrial, studying view on the sound component of human activity.'

For the very first time, the tracks from the debut album by Species Of Fishes are now available on vinyl. The double LP reissue with the refreshed version of the original artwork includes the original tracks, mixed between 1993 and 1994, but re-edited and remastered by Igor Kolyadny in 2021. Two tracks were released on the lesser-known follow-up 'Songs of a Dumb World Part 2,' while “Salmon Hunting/Kaluga-Mars” is being released for the first time.

Vladimir is my favourite artist. Heard 'No tell motel' before it was released back in December 2021 by Nina kraviz in Athens. That's how I discovered Vladimir and fell in love with his sound. Never disappoints, this guy is a genius literally, he should have taken more credit for his work. I wish he gigs more in the future, his sets are absolutely outstanding! love you Vlad, keep up the good work! <3 Elisavet Volani

Very weird techno by Alex Wilcox spanning off-kilter acid, some serious bounce and some weird ass vocal samples. Markus (Hårek)
