Description/Reviews
After Rational Diet’s experience, Five-Storey Ensemble is born. Several members of the band from Belarus – they shocked the avant-prog world with At Work and On Phenomena and Existences – take part to the project. In an extended line-up, the style of Vitaly Appow and Olga Podgaiskaya, among the main RD composers, is well recognizable. So Not that city is the natural prosecution of a well established course, yet now more spontaneous, melodic, aching: the listener will be surprised by these sound alchemies, able to crystallize the moment, making it magic.

  1. One of the five best albums of 2013, in my opinion. (I've only heard about 100 so far.) I love the neo-classical, chamber rock stylings as well as the operatic feel the voices give it. Virtuosic and yet accessible and Romantic.
