...according to our Phil on 20 July 2007.

I do like Russian electronica. I think they do it well. It's always so clean and precise... lovely melodies and that. We've got some tastiness in this week all the way from said far away land courtesy of Dars Records. Here's Neotnas with a great CD called Spak Deti which is my title of the week. I don't know what it means but I like it. Well it's nice melodic electronic gear which treads the path of early Plaid and ISAN gear. Tasty!

Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.

What their label says...

Neotnas - the project investigating sides of various electronic music which consists of three musicians. Without «Neotnas» any large festival of independent music in Urals area does not manage: «Electroline» (Chelyabinsk), «Ship of Freedom» (Chelyabinsk), «I.D.M.ology» (Ekaterinburg), and thematic parties in club «Garage Underground».

The group is actively engaged in live performances and studio work, but besides it, participates in various interesting media projects: music to performances "Returning", " White dance " (theatre-studio " Aritmia ", 2006), music to performance " Sports for idiots " (studio " Dummy ", 2006), new soundtrack to the first film of horrors "Cabinet of doctor Kaligari"" Das Cabinet Des Dr Caligari " (dir. R.Vine, Germany, 1919) within the limits of the project "Electrotheatre".

Neotnas was already featured on compilations «Slavosonic», «Space will be ours!», and the long-awaited debut album “Spak deti”, including the best tracks of the period 2004-2006 now follows.
The name of an album “Spak deti” deeply symbolically also unites emotional sources and symbols, clear only to authors, however the word “deti” (russian for "children"), in our opinion, answers in it for the most "speaking" component of an album. A seeming simplicity of melodies, naivety, childishness borders with ideally worked post-IDM passages; the minimalism adjoins to deep sadly-nostalgic electronics.
“Spak deti” is a string which will strongly connect your head, headphones and heart.
