Andrew,
Yes, I was experimenting with delay automation. I might of over used it a bit smile

Izzy,
Thank you for fun and insightful comments, especially particulars on mix!
On the artists you've mentioned. They are stars....Talented. I like some of ethnic songs performed by Vitas. Oxxxymiron is very successful commercially, but even with his fantastic lyrical skills, he is copycatting lots of western Rap/HipHop artists. Leningrad... I liked their first 2 albums, which sounded very fresh, but everything that was done in the past 25 years felt like more of same. Still seems Shnurov has a solid following. I completely lost my interest in the band when he started flirting with politics. My preference is toward a bit darker music like GrOb, Ayction, Viktor Coi, Splin and so on. Older stuff. Unfortunately, a number of prominent musicians sided with kremlin and I have lost respect for their art.
