U-Ka - Supernova [Limited Deluxe Edition] (2014)

The goal with Supernova was to look back to the Disco era but with a synth heavy and altogether more cosmic twist.
Alex is a big fun of modern Russian classical music composing style. Also he was inspired by early English progressive scene (Yes, ELO etc). This is why U-Ka's melodic lines are long and not so straight sometimes. And Oleg is musically far from academic school and prefers Zappa, early German electronic and psychedelic krautrock etc.

The project also has some other players: Kai Narezo (who owns studio in West Hollywood, awesome flamenco guitarist and good old friend of U-Ka) organises the recording sessions in Los Angeles and plays some guitar tracks too.

In LA they met the great musicians such as Ric Fierabarcci - bassist (his list of recording credits from Chic Corea, Billy Cobham to Tom Jones), Joey Heredia - drummer (his list of recording credits from Steve Wonder to Tania Maria), Jerry Watts - bassist (his list of recording credits from Andy Summers to Mylene Farmer) and other people who helped working on completing 'Supernova'.

The album was mixed & mastered to 1/4" tape using only analogue equipment in Los Angeles, in old Lion Share studio (the famous studio room in Michael Jackson's video 'We Are the World')
U-Ka are just music lovers who still love to have fun…
