Malicious (5)

Malicious, oh could words express magic?
This young Russian has given the term psytrance a totally new meaning. There's an impressive amount of ideas in his music, which could be blurry classified darkpsy. The attention to smallest detail is there, the way he arranges breaks comes close to an artform itself, and the voice manipulation is of such caliber you'd think Simon Posford keeps him as an apprentice. The melodies you find in his tunes are quirky, there's a certain child-like playfulness usually found in his music which works like fist in the eye over the dark background atmosphere. Yet one can't but to admire how such arrangements are done; there's so much going on and the next second it's something completely different. Unexperienced listener would probably find this confusing, but to an experienced ear such logic defying music is blissful and kinda answers the question "Where's psytrance anno 2009?"

Such talents as Malicious are a rare find. If there's an answer to Koxbox's Dragon Tales and Hallucinogen's Twisted from this century, it's this guy.
