Side Liner - Crying Cities / Cosmicleaf Records
http://www.cosmicleaf.com



A music story for the future of big cities and their citizens' dreams!

Crying cities with citizens emotions covered by dust,
small rooms with secrets and sinful past,
where the dawn never comes...and good moments never last.
Selfishness is the mainly task,
invading to others lives without ask.
Lonelyness,anxious and rush,
souls that burning out till become ash.
Listening screaming tears by dusk,
closing doors back and walking out with mask,
in heart and face,
lost in their daily blaze......
But within all this maze,
hope and faith have their own room,
fighting for reversing their own doom,
and carrying whole weight like a groom,
offering salvation...one step before boom.

02. Feedback by Dj Mikadho (Cosmicleaf Rec. / Chaishop.com - Germany)

"...another proof, that there is a lot of "peace" in greece!
"crying cities" is not "killer", it is simply beautiful.
Not easy to pick a special track, but my favorite is "2222
(Prostranstvo 2008 mix)" - it reminds me "one way to paradise",
which is still one of my favorite tracks in my cd case.
Good work mr. side liner!..."

review by GROOVE Magazine / Australia:

"...While chill out albums have been springing up like mushrooms over the last few years, Cosmic Leaf, a sub-imprint of the global Unicorn Music label, has been pushing out only the most diverse aural aesthetics.

The latest album to escape the Unicorn stables, Crying Cities is the fourth chapter in Side Liner's already classic body of work. In typical Side Liner style, Crying Cities continues the journey through sublime textures that hopscotch between comforting warmth and oblique menace.

Running the gamut from ambient to breaks, the album soars through a 10 dreamy soundscapes where Side Liner's chilling vision of the future collides head-on with the realities of a perplexing modern world.

Saturated with ponderous melodies and glowing with brooding reflection, Crying Cities is a trusty companion as you sleepwalk through a domain of rasping beats, velvet synths and diabolic rushes and out into the cold unknown future..."

Review by Djane Tamara (Cosmicleaf , Active Meditation Music, Danceradio.gr)

"...gently seduces your mind to take the whole journey to the end,it opens a view for you,a view into artists soul,of his desires pulsing trough the chords he plays.His forever gentle melodies,companioned by the mysterious beat which keeps them from telling it all at once, will push your feelings to the top , making your ears happy to hear the sound that comes next..."

"Crying Cities"
Review by Nick Klimenko

The 4th album from Greek downbeat maestro Side Liner “Crying Cities” showing us an utopia of modern civilization, it's level of development in technological & spiritual ways.
Let's see what the story will show us in this time:

1. Crying Cities

Melancholic & thoughtful atmosphere open the doors of the journey. Warm sounds of guitar & flute adding more deepness & wideness to the sound.
Morning movement, faces in the crowd of the coldly town

2. Highway Dreams

Very Harmonic beginning which showing us a sunrise over the horizon, beautiful shadows, soft lights & thoughts. Faces becoming smile. Dynamics of arrange is very specific & pulsating. Ethno percussion adding more courage to the sound.

3. Old Neighborhood.

Nice trip-hop beats are adding more breath in musical flow. Nautical bells from deepness complete the state

4. Dead End

Let be alive Side Liner's band.
Mood is very optimistic and lightened. Maybe, voice of the man tells us that all will be fine on our planet; people will help each other & save nature? Well…El Chyke..Jan Te Ke Sa!

5. Camera Obscura (vs. Red Eye Express)

One of the central tracks of the album & the most powerful in project's musical portfolio.
Very serious & productive collaboration with R.Y.E. Starting is very exciting. Beat is very strong & born desire to move. Live guitars are adding more rhythmic feelings. Lo-Fi bells, pads are giving expression & force to overcome all barriers on the way.

6. Violet Room (remix for Zero Cult)

So what about this room? Mystery. Percussions start moving & soon we recognize well known
pictures from original track. Textures are adding more enigmas in the atmosphere. Did anybody have a key for the violet door? Wonder…

7. Tall Stories (remix for D.Batistatos)

Dubby mood. Time for resting & become dreaming. Moving arpeggio showing that no cheat. This story is really very tall. Glitch elements are adding more twisted thoughts to the mind & dreams becoming wider & bright.


8. 2222 (Prostranstvo 2008 mix)

Dynamics & arrange of this track showing us a great experience of Nick in letting people move with atmospheric grooves. Another central track in the opus. Main theme is very emotional & exciting. It shows what kind of emotions we had on Prostranstvo festival in Russia & a great inside feedback from Nick's bright nightmare dream. In fact, there was not such a big difference between these two events. Both were nightmare.

9.Urban Haze

..Sounds like soundtrack for thriller film. Wow, it starts!
Sounds more psychedelic, especially pad spheres & sound “whew”. Glitch fading in Arabian harmonies over around adding more mystic in the mood.
Who's there??? Chill out…it's me.

10. Crying Cities (Cydelix rmx)

Showing us the whole story under another corner & point of view. It's like observation of higher creature on our life.

---

The 4th chapter of creativity of Nick Miamis showing us strong movement forward.
In this time it's not only soft textures & warm beats. It's absolutely magical work with percussions, fills, dynamic breathing & panorama in every part of arrange.
Powerfully drum parts of each track are a visiting card of Side Liner project.

Keep moving with inside force & make your conscious choice.

Review by Mic.gr / Online Music Magazine

"...A music story for the future of big cities and their citizens dreams.The concept subtitle.10 years took till being spit out by someone of next door, to be clarified.Popularly, how every monday kills a sunday, anonymus, silent, behind technicolour sun lounges in 10th floor. Only Parallel Worlds with their album Obsessive Surrealism" had reach this in thousandth.... Crying Cities is the final result of Side Liner's involvement for years now with urban typology. Great album in terms of sound quality (not far from being a foretype), following darkmoods, ambient atmospheres,strong basslines and breaks..."

8.5/10
