LIVE IN SAINT PETERSBURG

"Live in Saint Petersburg" is the first official release of Enine, lasting about 35 minutes and recorded last October at the Sound Museum (ex-ESG-21). There are six compositions on the album, which are prog-rock accompaniment to silent movie fragments. The music is almost completely instrumental, except for the throat singing of Vladimir Kosygin in one of the compositions, in "Nosferatu part 1". Personally, I liked the first track "Workers" the most. Stylistically, what Enine does is reminiscent of Camel, Genesis and Pink Floyd, although in the latest release of the album, "Waiting," the musicians deliberately quote "Child in Time" by Deep Purple and "La Villa Strangiato" by Rush; however, they do it delicately and appropriately. The use of the throat singing mentioned above, as well as the jew's harp with which "Nosferatu part 3" begins, and the tambourine, give the music an ethnic "flair". It turns out a unique mixture of Neoprog and World Music. However, it is better not to think about stylistic definitions, but to listen to the beauty and power of music.
