Pressinfo: Israfil (known as the angel of the trumpet in Islam and as the archangel Raphael to the Western World), is an album of bipolar music, dark, yet colourful, oscillating between joy of living and deep melancholy.
Shek`s 3rd Album on Fax lives from the thoughts and conscious differences between earth and space. The music springs forth lovely and deep, while radiating the vibe of the hot summer as well as the cold winter, and can really get a crowd moving.
The flow of harmonic and melodic structure is felt first, then heard, whether in our living room or your favourite night club.

Pressinfo: Five years after his debut on FAX Krystian Shek delivers this
extraordinary CD. His music presents a fresh version of both Chill Out
and Techno.
This CD was inspired not by the dreadful wars of our time, but by the
way people treat each other when they meet by accident in everyday
places such as airports and train stations. He collected these
impressions and transformed them into musical ideas. He does not try
to describe the meetings; instead, he reveals the different
perspectives, each in their own beauty, and enables them to coexist
peacefully.
We at FAX fell in love with this album and regard it as his best work
so far.

Release Date:20.NOVEMBER 2009

Pressinfo: There are many lounge & downtempo records with Asian names but we found no-one with real Asian influenced music in it.
Its just about name dropping

The result is a very smooth and softly collaboration between Krystian Shek and Ray Maddison with all these instruments Thailand has to offer, for example -Gamelan`s-, -Thai-Gongs-, -Angklung`s- and spiritual Flutes.

Pressinfo: This CD is a soundtrack to Krystian Shek's journey to Russia... from Moskau to St.Petersburg in the wintertime of 2002/03. His sounds and compositions reflect the cold and hard atmosphere of the environment on the one hand and the deep and melancholic soul of the Russians on the other.
"In Russia there is a lot of poverty but at the same time deep friedship and networking of a quality rarely found in western society..." the artist says.
The music on this CD connects the roots of techno-club-culture with atmospheric soundscapes to a new definition of beatoriented Environmental/Ambient.
