Leo Records 2011
Not so long ago I wrote about Kruglov's album with Jaak Sooar trio "Karate" which was already his third album for Leo Records in barely over one year. Now, just a couple of months later, he's back to present what is to be he's most profound and monumental work as "Identification" presents a single 64-minute long composition.
Kruglov explains in the liner notes how he used monogramic pattern (translating letters into the notes) to create some of the melodies that stay from musicians' names - a musical identification. Don't get discouraged though by the sheer length of the work or the teorethical premises.
