Overview: Atomic Simao are the first band from the Ukraine to enter my collection. Their album Nodo is a very good improvised space rock album. Their album Echo promises to be more in the space funk rock, jazz rock vein like Gong meets Funkadelic.
UMR notes
Welcome to the club! I've been stuck on three Ukrainian albums for a while now. Not easy to find music from that country. (When the new Five-Storey Ensemble comes out even Belarus will catch up on Ukraine in my collection!)
ReplyDeleteTwo of the albums I own are classical music. The other one's not space rock, but a very enjoyable piece of moody prog by a band called Obiymy Doschu ("Rain's Embrace") singing in their native tongue, which I love. I don't know if you've heard of them, but for those who haven't, their album can be downloaded here: http://rain.in.ua/en.html The CD is probably hard to find now.
Yes, you're right, I've never heard of them. Thanks Bas for the comment and link!
