This album is kind of (re)discovery for me. Ristik manages to achieve very proffesionally sounding, rhytmic - arhytmic ambiental feel with awesome phrases and icy clear passages amidst kind off avant-garde rhyms and arrangements. This is Real, real refreshement. Sound of those meditations is both old and new but I mostly like this clear cool jazzy quality of both music and production. It'll be awesome to download Musictrade flac version of this.

There are plenty of exciting discoveries to be made on Jamendo if you are willing to explore off the beaten track. This album is a classic case in point. Using percussion and heavy, strident piano and keyboards, Kotinäky has constructed an album that draws its strength from the contrasts between different rhythms and between loudness and quietness. It is music that has a definite experimental edge to it but equally not without some melodic moments and it remains surprisingly accessible throughout. Though essentially an electronic work there are hints of jazz and progressive rock influences at times. But the real triumph on this album is the way in which Kotinäky constructs a distinctive atmosphere early on and manages to maintain it throughout the forty-one minutes despite the constant flow of musical ideas. The result is a piece of work that is instantly identifiable. It is also remarkably consistent throughout but the satisfying way in which "Kiertokulku" brings the album to a close - reprising a brief melodic theme first heard in the opening track - marks it as the standout track.
