LAZARUS

ROZ VITALIS is the band is lead by Ivan Rozmainsky, Nadezhda Regentova and Vladimir Polyakov and some guest musicians appeared on their albums. The band came from Saint-Petersburg like the band EGO EIMI.

The music move from the RIO music, but in a very classical concoction and especially the first song 'Nepsis' is RIO. Otherwise it's mostly a kind of a modern-electronic- chamber-rock-music with some world music (3), but far from the Jazz, there is no Jazz practically anywhere in this music even if the music is near sometime of band like UNIVERS ZERO and WAPASSOU, there is also plenty of dark elements, mystic elements, it's somewhere medieval and religious, monastery music, film music and progressive- rock elements are also inherent to the music.

A little wording about -post-progressive-music- If somebody can use the term -post- to describe this music, for myself I never heard nothing that I was able to called -post- (post-rock, post-modern, etc,) or (avant-garde music) not more than in politics, no revolution really has been done in most of the social spheres since a while, in the music everything is repetition, especially since the late 60's where most of the modern style of music was found, the lonely revolution that we can talk about are; a technological one, especially visible in the 80's, but in fact, in reality this revolution never end since maybe more than 100 years...., otherwise the previous revolution to this one was around the late 50's with the rock revolution and the birth of the big company and the international market. Already in 1969, in my own country :-), band like 'L'INFONIE' should be described as a -post-rock- band and their music was not very far from ROZ VITALIS in many time, but obviously the instrumentation was not the same....

ROZ VITALIS is mainly a modern-electronic-chamber-rock-music plenty of dark, mystic, medieval, monastic and religious elements, with film music and progressive-rock elements. Excellent recording.
