Shine!

The signs say that Ivan1984 & churst are here to stay. Great I loved it.

perhaps not so good as falling but they come close
in their downbeat shine.it doesnt quite reach the hypnotic level and when ivan's vocals stop the
enjoyment level dips.but these are small exeptions to a realy good album.and late is a nice add on
all this comes together to produce a deep shimmering
album.well done to you both.

Duo Ivan & Churst again manage to make very good peace of sounsdcaping plus quality lyrics which uncovers another side of our friend Ivan. I read Ivan's Shine before hearing this and in my inner ear it had rich rhytm and uptempo sound. Churst version is not precisely in the same line but it too takes strong steady rhytm, combines with chursty pads, leads and gives us nice epic shiny picture. But, I don't think that 6 minutes was necessary for epic feel. So them who shares this opinion have "abridged" version in Shine reprise.

In both versions I again like treatment of Ivan's vocals and almost organic unity with music. But here I am repeating myself.

Late! is little jewel here which we shouldn't skip. Chursty again trippy hop with very nice, emotive, sadly synth lead and jazzy rhodes. Like it very much.

Good job guys Again!

Nice to listen to, thou the accuracy of my english understanding is not sharp enough to catch Ivan's voice when distorted.

You asked for it : I give you a sign, don't know if I will be shining.

If you like what they do, worth give it a listening.

June 11, 2009 : with the help of Ivan's Nota Bene, which allows me to understand what is said and as to be said, this piece of music gets its full dramatic sense and gives me goose spins.

GREAT INSPIRATION POET & MUSICIAN
