This is a very good album. Sounds like something that would be released on Databloem or DataObscura.
Sure it's really good but it reminds me a lot of other artists I've heard so I don't think this is the most original stuff like nothing I've ever heard before.
Saying that though, it is better than anything I've heard like this before 
 Wait.....What? |

Here is our review of the album:
STYLE
Quirky downtempo electronica. Kalitz brings together some blip-punctuated lazy beats and ambient atmospheres that are inhabited by a variety of sharp digital effects - swishes, pulses, clicks, grasshopper flickers, sci-fi techno snippets, electro-squishes, bird-like twitters. There are also diverse fleeting enhancements to this primarily synthetic soundscaping - rich flute lines, peculiar vocal samples, traditional Bulgarian instrumentation. Ranging through chilled psychedelia, IDM, and rhythmic ambient, Vataff Project leaves a distinctive impression - slightly sombre, touched with enigmatic dusk.
MOOD
Kalitz has a cool, shadowy nature - comfortable, confident, relaxed - yet there is sense of mystery lurking in the depths. The melodic content of the album is suitably low key and spacious allowing the mind to fill in the gaps, the tendency toward almost ambient structure enhancing the evocative nature of the music. The choice of electronic tones making up the sonic palette is quite overtly synthetic suggesting programmed spacey, sci-fi environments.
ARTWORK
The promotional copy of this package that I possess hints at the usual high quality delivery we have come to expect from Aleph-Zero productions. The graphics are sharp and evocative - blue tinted forests overlaid with graphic elements and text fading to black across the lower half of the various panels.
Explanational paragraphs describe the musician, the origins of the project name and the artist's sonic vision.
OVERALL
Kalitz is delivered to us via Aleph-Zero Records and is the debut release from the personal project of Bulgarian musician Victor Marinov working under the Vataff Project title. The nine tracks here work as a coherent whole, an evolving journey - pieces cross referring, back echoing, gradually morphing and straying from the point of origin in a leisurely unfurling of compositions that tap into the mysterious qualities of the forests of Bulgaria for inspiration. Marinov's interest in ethno-musicological work is reflected here, aiming to evoke deep emotional reactions linking back to ancient times, imbuing the recording with a somewhat timeless feel despite its highly contemporary production.
WHO WILL LIKE THIS ALBUM
Kalitz will appeal to listeners that enjoy exploring the realms between experimental downtempo and ambient groove. Very much in keeping with previous output from the Aleph-Zero label itself and like minded sources such as Native State and Ultimae.

Wow, that theme went too much down on that forum. So, I have to put it up again.
I think, that this is a very special and interisting trip between natural elements and alien mechanical structures ... also sometimes lil bit "sinister"
Can`t wait til autumn fog  |

Just wanted to bump this thread up, since 'Kalitz' is such a great album for the winter, and winter is almost here.
Out of this world indeed !
'Kalitz' contains some really beautiful sound manipulations. Hypnotic atmospheres. It makes me think of sorcery etc.
Definitely unique. Great production.
A big boost for the imagination.
The artwork is wonderful as well.
Cheers !
