about
Vladimir Gorashchenko - Born in Kiev, Ukraine MODERN-ROCK ENSEMBLE is a vehicle for the talents of Ukraine's multi-talented Vladimir Gorashchenko. In September 2016 he released the first Modern-Rock Ensemble album "Touch The Mystery". What a fine album it is too. Gorashchenko is certainly no newcomer to the progressive rock world, and indeed one track from the album was recorded back in the 1980s, under a different name, Putnik. MODERN-ROCK ENSEMBLE's music is not what I would describe as archetypal Neo Prog. The material is quite varied, with jazzy and ethnic hints, however the overpowering influence is Neo/Symphonic, two genres that tread closely together. Drawing on the classic symphonic sounds of the early 70s, but with a modern twist, the long instrumental passages are a joy to hear. Fans of both genres should find plenty to interest them in the music of MODERN-ROCK ENSEMBLE. Gorashchenko is clearly a serious musician, covering vocal, keyboard and guitar duties. On the debut album he is assisted by a guest appearance by the legendary Ukranian musician Anton Kalugin, famous for his work as Karfagen and Sunchild. It has taken considerable time for this project to hit the ground and it has been well worth the wait. Hopefully a follow-up album will be not as long in the making! As one would expect, background information has been very hard to find. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
