This is a little skeaky peak into new album which Vlad is mixing and conjuring on right now in Canada. We recorded Opposites along with other 12 songs in autumn 2011. The gig in Zal Ozhidaniya was a few days before guitar and bass recording session. We hope you enjoy the live version of the song, the more so it's our first concert video.

Been a while since we posted video last time. Here's video blog #2 which covers end of summer and beginning of autumn 2011 when we made new album demo record, rehearsed, had a gig in Zal Ozhidaniya and had fun. Enjoy the vid. The next one is going to be about new album recording. Yours, Ongkara.

For its native land, Bali, Ongkara is a sacred word combining as it does birth and death, the Universe and life itself. Just as the very word is multifaceted, so much multidimensional and eclectic is our music that derives from the insights that we experience while observing the edges of life in their connection with cosmos and the Universe.
Back on Earth we are a band located in Russia and Canada sharing these ideas to bring you through some magnificent kaleidoscopic music images.
Hang it on the wall!
Yes. Your eyes are not lying to you. What you see is an album hanging on the wall. How is that possible? Why we did this?
In this imaginary sketch it features an eye-pleasing 3D picture with an amazing viewing angle. We just couldn't stand the idea that such a nice piece of art might get cramped between other albums in your CD holder. So we equipped it with an unfolding hanger. The CD with 10 Ongkara tracks in hight quality format goes in a paper envelope inside the box. You may take it out and slide it back anytime through the side opening in the box, or keep it loose.
Hang it on the wall, enjoy the amazing multidimensional picture and fine quality sound!
Note: Ongkara album will be available since late February for $10 per disc. Please leave your email here and we will notify you how and when you can purchase it:
