ČKONJEVIĆ IVAN - When Sky Was Not This Great Big Cage For Birds (2008, Slušaj najglasnije) Ovaj glazbenik radi na relaciji Subotica - Beograd i znan je kao član sastava Ana Never i Belgrade Noise Society (www.belgradenoise.com) gdje je majstor gitare, a ovo mu je treći solo rad (prethodna dva su "Stanja: kolaž", 2006. i "Plavi bicikl pod oblacima rđe/ Umesto buđenja", 2008). Ima i dva realizirana filma "EXP.Srećni princ" i "EXP.Šetač", a oba su realizirana u martu 2008. Učesnik je kompilacije "Putnik" (2008, Slušaj najglasnije) koju je sastavio njegov kolega Edvard Halas iz Subotice gdje je zastupljen s naslovom "Train 6 a.m." koji otvara ovaj album što znači da je riječ o ambijentalnom drone post-rocku. Sve skladbe su instrumentali koje je napravio samo pomoću električne gitare i basa, te očaravaju svojom atmosferskom mirnoćom i osjećajem za zvučni '3D' harmonični prostor i vrijeme. Lišen bilo kakve druge pripomoći instrumenata sa strane, Ivan je ostvario suvremeni ambijentalni album neopterećen bilo kakvim šablonskim zamkama ili eksperimentalnim izletima. Samo ugodna i mirna minimalistički orijentirana glazba uz koju se može mašti prepustiti na volju. Romantično, idilično, s pomalo psihodelično razlivenim šarama gitarskih harmonija, baš kao što i sam naziv albuma govori - 'kad nebo nije bilo ovaj veliki kavez za ptice'. Moglo bi se reći i ekološki osviješteno. Od elektro akustike, preko Brian Enoa i Sylviana do atmosferičnih MBV i inih nasljednika ambijentalnog post-rocka u 21.stoljeću.Kreativno nadahnuto. Naslovi: 1.EXP.Train 6 a.m., 2.EXP.Long tones for sleeping trees (for wooden one), 3.EXP.When sky was not this great big cage for birds, 4.EXP.Antennas have shadows, 5.EXP.Day after Ocjena (1-10): 8Web: www.myspace.com/eightkmfromlake

Wed, 29 Apr 09: Red WestKZSU's HeartbleepsAlbum ReviewYour Imaginary FriendReviewed 2009-03-31 Lovely dreamy electro organic sources, guitar and samples contribute, a very lovely cd that puts a humbleness to cheesy new age yet serious ambient noise tracks. I would lump this in with the Swans and Mono before anything bad. Check it out!!1) big dreaminess, the soundtrack to your last deep post-sex sleep2) cool chill and “ambient” very loveable3) 13.5 minutes: beautiful chill echoey reverby guitar, almost like on a basketball court shooting shot with each other licks, lovely4) a lovely ambient solo with backdrop feel, if you que for 20 seconds you’ll get the picture and either love it or hate it.5) long beautiful post guitar contributions, very serene and musical, its really beautiful Track Listing1.
