The name of the new CD of the "Система Безопасности" (System of Safety) group is a play of the words “snow” and “tenderness” that sets the mood for the whole album. Indeed, being philosophically distant, thoughtful and cold, but at the same time sensual, emotional and warm, at the moment it is the most gentle and snowiest album recorded by Vladimir (Vlad) Doronin. Mystical leitmotifs, which have become the firm style of the “System of Safety” creativity, form the basis of this opus. They are most clearly revealed in the title composition “Masha” - an esoteric variation on the theme of the Russian proverb - “Good Masha, yes not ours”, presented in a peculiar interpretation and symbolism corresponding to the context: cynicism, occultism, postmodernism, black humor, agape and the harsh male love. In general, Baphomet in the rib, horns and hooves! The composition “Snowiness” of the same name with the album name relieves anxious tension for some time and, as a local anesthetic, it relieves the pain of an unclosed gestalt with a transparent, thin and weightless tissue with a sound texture. After that, there is a new immersion in the dark mystical depths of the composition “42 Fouette” - a philosophical reflection on the transience of time, on the fragile nature of man and on the relativity of being. This composition is replaced by the hypnotic “Sun, swallowtail, bee and peonies”, the psychedelic mood of which ends with a serene relaxing bliss. Judging by the name, her sound images carry a distant hint of the work of Salvador Dali - “The dream caused by the flight of a bee around a grenade, one second before awakening.” The luminous sadness of the composition “Damn and Princess”, the fabulous symbolism of which refers to the visual design of the album, is replaced by the viscous and vibrating hum of Gudron, and the album ends smarmy lullaby. In general, the new CD “System of Safety” conceptually focuses on the dual relationship of opposing principles: darkness and light, wisdom and naivety, hopelessness and hope, which to some extent refers to the “Songs of Innocence and Experience” by William Blake. At the same time, the contrast and combinations of different styles give the album artistic diversity, polysemy, integrity and consummation.
