Quadrotopia в сп. НЕЯ

След двата квадрофонични концерта през 2008 и 2009 на Bluba Lu (Димитър Паскалев и Константин Кацарски), записите с Еди Стивънс (кийбордист на Moloko, Freakpower, Zero 7 и Ройшин Мърфи), опитите да направят филм по музиката си, пробивите в чужди радиостанции и трите клипа (към Monetary Slave, Pure Love и Dream Machine), Bluba Lu са готови с дългоочаквания КВАДРОТОПИЯ.

Quadrotopia at Data transmission

Quadrotopia is a showcase of yet more of Bluba Lu’s outstanding, alternative chillout music. The Bulgarian duo have not just delivered one magnificent CD of tracks - this package comes with an extra 11-track CD with remixes of the album. Quadrotopia Remixed’ sees Koka play around with Bluba’s original tracks- with the help of Drum Kid (aka Ivan Shopov, who also goes by the name of Balkansky) - twisting them into minimal dub masterpieces.

'This album carries a message for people with open hearts, minds and consciousness…' - Bluba Lu.
And after just one listen of Quadrotopia, that message soon becomes clear. With this album Bluba Lu have drawn upon their backgrounds in music, composing, design and architecture to create a modern timepiece. The concept is unique; the results are spectacular.

Quadrotopia at Hanfjournal

Im Winter 2008 vernahm ich mit „World Melancholy” ein exzellentes Album, auf dem Streicherarrangements auf sanfte Gitarrenklänge, fette Trip Hop Beats auf flächige Chill Out-Sounds trafen. Über all dem schwebte der esoterisch-verhangene Gesang von Roni (aka Andronia Popova), der angesagtesten Stimme des bulgarischen Undergrounds

Quadrotopia at Soultrainonline

Konstantin Katsarski und Dimitar Paskalev sind die Köpfe hinter dem Bluba Lu-Namen. Der Titel ihres neuen Albums kommt dabei nicht von ungefähr, haben wir es hier doch mit einer tatsächlichen Neuordnung des Sounds in Quadrophonie zu tun.

Quadrotopia at sound-and-image

Von Portishead zu Pink Floyd. Die Bulgarische Formation „Bluba Lu” verbindet in ihrem Band-Konzept westliche Avantgarde und alten 70er-Jahre Retrosound mit osteuropäischer RockPop-Mentalität. Das Konzept zu diesem Doppelalbum entstand nach einem denkwürdigen Mega-Konzert in Sofia, bei dem der Quadrophonie-Sound auf die Spitze getrieben wurde. Fünf Bühnen mit insgesamt 20 Musikern umgaben das Publikum.

Zuviele Einflüsse verderben den Mashup

Irgendwann aus den 90ern entstammt die bulgarische Electro Acid Band Bluba Lu. Meist im Down-, manchmal im Midtempo angesidelt, wabern die 11 Songs ins Ohr und nahezu unbemerkt auch wieder raus. Schade eigentlich, denn man merkt den Kompositionen jede Menge Arbeit und auch die Liebe zum Detail an, doch Electronica, Big Band Sounds, Hippie Musicals, Pink Floyd Atmosphäre, alte Agentenfilm-Soundtracks, Trip Hop Beats sowie gebrochenes Englisch des weiblichen wie männlichen Gesangs passen leider nur selten zusammen.

Review by losingtoday.com
These guys hail from Bulgaria and ‘The Black Sea’ mix of ‘To Love You’ is very dark in a broken jazz horn way with metal guitar trash undertows; it’s a shame that one isn’t longer and/or mixed into the techno gitchy dub mix.

Never Mind by losingtoday.com
Bluba Lu ‘never mind’ / ‘to love you’ (bluba lu). A slight departure from the usual my space / CD / vinyl / download review in that we were sent these two links by way of a teaser (many thanks by the way to Alice of Trailer Media) and though we were going to opt for the lazy way out and just post them up such is their beguiling beauty that ...

About WM by flyglobalmusic.com
Opening up with the appropriately entitled ‘Hello’ you think this is going to be Cinematic Orchestra inspired soundtrack and then sort of flips with a theme from Bluba Lu’s Bulgarian roots. Bluba Lu being a trio of Konstantin Katsarski, Dimitar Paskalev and Andronia Popova-Roni.

Bluba Lu - To Love You by subba-cultcha.com
Like David Holmes conducting the Massive Attack orchestra, Bluba lu take the funked up trip-hop structure of To Love You and give it a cinematic, dare I say, romantic kick up the jacksie. If only it wasn’t my fingers making love to my keyboard right now…

About WM by culturedeluxe.com
Let`s just get the Portishead thing out of the way to start with, they certainly do on the opening song. I can`t be the only one who thinks `All Mine` when `Hello` starts. Still, I suppose if you`re going to have such influences, best to wear them proud. It would be far too unfair to dismiss the Bulgarian band however in one small paragraph. Just pretend that didn`t happen.

Bluba Lu / Rough Trade by westzeit.de
Aus der bulgarischen Hauptstadt Sofia verkünden es Bluba Lu und Andronia Popova aka Roni: die Welt ist melancholisch. Zum Beweis blubbert ein smarter Elektronic-Sound durch die Längen- und Breitengrade, wie er unverbindlicher nicht sein kann.

World Melancholy by soultrainonline.de
“World Melancholy” ist bereits das vierte Album des Bulgarischen Duos Konstantin Katsarski und Dimitar Paskalev alias Bluba Lu. Das vorweg: Der Albumtitel kommt nicht von ungefähr. Denn Melancholie ist die treibende Kraft aber auch die Stärke der Musik des Duos aus Sofia.

About Bluba Lu by De:Bug
Der Titel hat mich ja erst etwas skeptisch werden lassen, aber die Bulgaren überzeugen nach kurzem Hördurchgang von vorn bis hinten. Schöne Stimmen, akzentuierte Streicher und ansprechende Produktion machen das Album zu einem tollen Erlebnis. Auch das Timing stimmt, graue Herbsttage kann man nicht schöner veredeln als mit dem Hören dieser zu Herz gehenden Angelegenheit.

About Bluba Lu by Javier
Bluba Lu es una banda de Sofía, Bulgaria; que ha sido caracterizada por ser una de las bandas mas intrigantes; ha producido hasta la fecha trés álbums bastante interesantes, pero al parecer su nuevo y cuarto álbum "World Melancholy" ha resultado ser su mejor trabajo hasta ahora, el cual explora una unión entre la música electrónica y la música clásica.

Eва в страната на меланхолията от Стефан Иванов СИВ
World melancholy (Световна меланхолия) е името на четвъртия албум на БлубаЛу. В него звуково и вокално участие взимат симфоничен оркестър и невероятен женски глас с уникална не само за България аура – Андрония Попова от Насекомикс. Концертът-премиера беше на 25 юни в Студио 1 на БНР.

Bluba Lu, Re:Verb by Viktor Lilov
Записан почти изцяло нощем, в домашното студио на фронтмена на групата Димитър Паскалев, Re:Verb е албум, инспириран от граничните състояния, в които се намира съвременната музика – импровизирана и композирана, сглобена от семпли и електронно-генериран бийт и акустична, абстрактна и конкретна.

Bluba Lu, Re:Verb by Vest (cult.bg)
Bluba Lu са изключителна група. Нямат никакъв афинитет към популярността, правят некомерсиална музика, участват в странни проекти, сред тях няма излишен музикант, не дават интервюта. Въобще ъндърграунд в чиста форма.

Поглед през таен прозорец към тайната градина на душата ти
Наложи се да използвам жокер “обади се на приятел”, преди да дефинирам за себе си каква е като стил музиката на Блуба Лу 2004.

Bluba Lu, MOOGaMOOD by kathodik.it

Experimental trip-hop made in Bulgaria by cosmosonic.com
It's not a commont thing to find Eastern European bands. Yet, among them are pure treasures. The Bulgarians from Bluba Lu are, doubtlessly, one of the most joyous trip-hoppers at the moment. Their last album, MoogaMood, is a real musical patchwork, in which the ambient-techno sound mingles as much as you can imagine with accoustics and traditional instruments.

No music for the masses by Bogdan Rusev
The new album of Bluba Lu- the third enfant terrible of the independent Bulgarian label Yellomusic would not be distributed in the record shops. This is not a frivolous caprice of the producer ( musician and creative brain0 Dimitar Paskalev, neither a revenge for the Bulgarian market, which did not estimate their debut “Bluba Lu In Wonderland” (for most of the underground fans to perform along Korai Orom on one stage is enough guarantee for quality).

A master work by Emanuil Angelov, Kultura magazine
'MOOGaMOOD' of the Bulgarian band Bluba Lu. Or diversity based on freedom and spontaneity in expressing ideas. A Light and tranquil style in music-creation. An easy approach, without set purpose for hitting a defined genre.

The Horizons are brightening in front of Bluba Lu
The second studio project of one of the most interesting BG underground bands is coming out only six months after the debut 'Bluba Lu In Wonderland', and the differences between them are rather surprising but not unwelcoming. By the way, the formation has developed very successfully yet at ...
