Uncovered

Pretty fucking rad. Heavy repetitive electric beats

Liked this way more than I thought I would. Took me a while to settle into it, but it grew on me! Atmospheric and dark at times. Pretty cool. Will have to listen a few more times.

A darkly atmospheric album that reminded me a bit of Laibach due to the ritualistic industrial of the songs. Tracks like Hollow and Alive, hit that sweet spot between raw industrial weight and dark ambient trance for me

I've found another perfect soundtrack for a haunted house (and indeed did add this album to my Halloween playlist). It's dark and brooding and atmospheric and would be perfect for a spooky gathering. As for just hanging out and listening... it was interesting enough for working to but I don't see myself just throwing it on for a regular listen.

Zamilska has created an album full of dark electronic and noisy drone music. It sound evil, disgusting and depressing in a good way. Great music for a long ride in your car at night. Great album cover, let the night terrors begin!

9/10 pretty great experimental electronic! very unique with lots to love hear!

Like a dark Polish XX. Atmospheric moody electronica...

Enjoyed this unique little slab of Polish electronica, every track encompassed its own little world and the whole experience made for some gripping listening. Appreciated the interplay between warm, organic synths and completely artificial samples (of garden tools? I think) that made this feel more alive. Love when music plays between sounding 100% ripped from the cloth of the universe vs. being a human construct made of vibrating wood and metal, and this LP definitely scratched that itch.

Starts with suggestions of fairly generic industrial, then gets quieter, muting into real eerieness, ominousness. Tension builds like a scene in a zombie movie or futuristic paranoid political noir, but a significant proportion fails to hook the listener (this one anyway) and appears to just drift off. Doesn't do much for one to relax, but maybe that's the intent and a comment on the times. Straight-up bonus points for brevity, though a few of the more engaging cuts (e.g., "Delusion") mighta played out for much longer. "Hollow" is the other highlight. Would take this over much electronica on the list proper (though not over the few other records from 2019), for being more thoughtful and contemplative, though it's not likely one will be rearranging plans to spend more time with this record anytime soon. One feels comfortable having Z show the ropes of dark ambient/trance-y electronica music making to the next generation of Poles.

Rating: 7/10 Best songs: Alive, Message

This is dark, I like it. But occasionally a touch repetitive, but definitely worth a listen.

Man, if I'd been born in Poland I could have gotten a degree in "social and cultural animation" instead of dumb science. It wasn't really clear to me what was going on with most of this, very art-forward. Not an unenjoyable experience.

It's neat and has some good vibes but honestly, this kinda stuff is very abundant these days if you operate in those circles. So while I dig it, it's not exactly required listening / doing something that others aren't. My personal rating: 3/5 My rating relative to the list: 4/5 Should this have been included on the original list? No.

It's alright, just not a genre I love. 3 stars.

This is ‘electronic’ music that played while I listened

Electronic, Industrial, World, Techno. Ni fu ni fa.

This would have been a good Halloween album

Interesting

Like NIN instrumentals, but more techno. S'ok.

Nice but boring 3

Background music when I listened, but enjoyable to have on in the background. Unlike much else on the list, and so probably worthy of consideration. Not my thing, but pretty decent.

Very decent Polish electronic artist. Her edge is not as dark as the one found in acts such as The Haxan Cloak or Mondkopf, to take the first two examples that came out of my head, but you still have the same sort of claustrophobic mood as the one found in those two examples. "Message", "Hollow" and "Alive" are the clear highlights here. And if the rest tags along without making much of a fuss, it's still good IDM -- once in a while sprinkled with subtle and yet very distinct dubstep flavors... After listening to this album twice, I still consider that there are quite a few artists in that overall umbrella genre currently offering music that is even more striking and more evocative than the one written by Zamilska. Acts such as Bicep, Floating Points, Rival Consoles, UVB76, Forest Swords, Throwing Snow, Ital Tek, Tzusing, Jlin or Eskmo... Yet at the end of the day, I would be a fool or a fraud pretending I have the ultimate expertise in those matters. In spite of my personal tastes in said umbrella genre, I feel like your personal history with the latter most often takes full precedence over any so-called "objective" measurement of the music's efficiency -- a vantage point which is impossible to properly reach anyway. Sure, you could say the same thing for any music style, I suppose... But those electronic genres do rely a lot on transient moods, three-dimensional textures and ethereal ambiences, and I believe your state of mind when you discover an act in said genres ends up becoming pivotal for your future appreciation of it. Whereas for, say, rock and rap, it's always a bit easier to subjectively decide whether something sounds relevant or not. It's another way to state that there is nothing wrong in that user's choice, just as there's nothing wrong in the ones I've mentioned up there. In a way, it's impossible to agree on some sort of "objective" assessment to state whose *recent* choices end up as more influential or more commonly revered by fans of this music style. There's a reason why a lot of those fans always end up quoting acts such as Kraftwerk or Aphex Twin -- once 100% groundbreaking, and now ironically considered as "classics"... We still miss the hindsight for more recent stuff. And it's nothing new. Because this is the very paradox that has always marked genres supposedly pointing towards the future. So for me, podiums and rankings never made much sense for most forward-looking electronic styles anyway... As an old-timer, I could add that the future is always bleaker that what you expected to be in your youth. But that's a debate I won't touch upon here... At least, Zamilska's *Uncovered* provides an apt soundtrack for such bleak *present* moment. Why should we ask more from it? Podiums and ranking will have to wait for another time, I suppose. 3/5 for the purposes of this list of essential albums. 8/10 for more general purposes (5 + 3) ---- Number of albums from the original list I find relevant enough to be mandatory listens: 465 Albums from the original list I *might* include in mine later on: 288 Albums from the original list I won't include in mine: 336 ---- Number of albums from the users list I find relevant enough to be mandatory listens: 64 Albums from the users list I *might* select for mine later on: 82 Albums from the users list I won't select for mine: 153 (including this one) ---- Emile...

Sounds like a decent movie sound track

Not a bad album as my soundtrack to start running in the morning again but it sounds like backing music, not necessarily amazing on its own.

Peculiar de escuchar, diferente, ritmos un tanto hipnóticos, no muy caótico, en su mayor parte instrumental. No me ha transmitido apenas.

Not my kinda vibe. Too ethereal

Not a genre I would listen to myself. Did not enjoy it very much

This felt like someone trying WAY too hard to be Nine Inch Nails. NEXT.

It’s a heavy electronic with a darker ambient tone. Not really my genre but it felt a bit unpolished as it was so short and was missing something to make it next level. It wasn’t bad just not something I’d revisit. Felt like better background music for a Fincher movie than anything. 4.4/10

I liked some of Zamilska, it's dark and heavy but ultimately really repetitive and boring as a result. 2.
