ENG

A little more than one year has passed since the release of the first part of the compilation (04/03/2022) and also since the beginning of full scale invasion in Ukraine. It is incredibly difficult to describe with polite words and without profanity the whole range of emotions, feelings and experiences that almost all citizens of Ukraine have experienced, of course underground artists are no exception. So mostly all the music that you can hear on this compilation have a feeling like you're trying to wake up but can't leave the ghostly reality of a dream. Sounds of survival is like a reminder that for these underground artists, music remains almost the only means of remaining human.

As Vladyslav Dikhtiarenko AKA Chord Snatchers says: The main conclusion is that music has remained in life, which means that it means a lot in this life. At a critical moment, when there was a high probability of having to leave the house with one suitcase, 30% of the space in it was occupied by the groove box. There has been more self-discipline, motivation as much as possible and to finish what I started as quickly as possible, not to start extra and get rid of needless things. A sense of responsibility for the spent life resource.

Sounds Of Survival From Ukrainian Underground Volume 2 has a wider spectrum of styles & genres and represents five ukrainian cities: Kyiv, Odesa, Chernihiv, Kharkiv & Ternopil. It takes the listeners on a unique trip through the modern Ukrainian musical underground.

УКР

Минуло трохи більше року з моменту виходу першої частини збірки (04/03/2022) та також з початку повномасштабного вторгнення в Україну. Неймовірно важко ввічливими словами і без ненормативної лексики описати весь спектр емоцій, почуттів і переживань, які пережили чи не всі громадяни України, звісно, андеґраундні артисти не є винятком. Тож переважно вся музика, яку ви можете почути на цій збірці, створює відчуття, наче ви прокидаєтеся від кошмару, але все ще перебуваєте в тому самому поганому сні після пробудження. Звуки виживання як нагадування про те, що для цих андеграундних артистів музика залишається чи не єдиним засібом залишатися людиною.

Більш широкий спектр стилів і жанрів на Sounds Of Survival From Ukrainian Underground Volume 2, а також 5 українських міст представлених тут: Київ, Одеса, Чернігів, Харків і Тернопіль, можуть допомогти слухачам здійснити унікальну подорож сучасним українським музичним андеграундом.

Як каже Владислав Діхтяренко AKA Chord Snatchers: Головний висновок – музика залишилася в житті, а значить, вона багато значить у цьому житті. У критичний момент, коли була велика ймовірність вийти з дому з одним чемоданом, 30% місця в ньому займав грув-бокс. З’явилося більше самодисципліни, мотивації якнайшвидше закінчити розпочате, а не починати зайвого і позбуватися непотрібного. Почуття відповідальності за витрачений життєвий ресурс.
