(Mint \/ New)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis compilation charts the unlikely link between Cologne’s DIY scene and the Ukrainian underground at the turn of the 1990s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVisual artist and producer Guido Erfen and sound engineer Michael Springer were central figures in SHM1, a Cologne collective who ran concerts and a studio space inside the vast, disused Rhenania grain silo. From this base, they built an independent network for recording and distributing music beyond the mainstream.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1990, Erfen received a cassette from Ukraine featuring bands from Kharkiv and Kyiv, alongside an essay by Sergey Myasoyedow, co-founder of Kharkiv’s Novaya Scena rock club. The music—shaped by punk, avant-garde experiment, folk motifs and abrasive grooves—opened a window onto a scene largely unheard in the West. Further tapes followed, and Erfen travelled to Ukraine, eventually persuading Alfred Hilsberg to release the Novaya Scena compilation on What’s So Funny About, documenting 14 bands recorded between 1986 and 1992.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the wake of that release, musicians including Svitlana Nianio and Yewgeny “Yenia” Taran travelled to Cologne. From 1994 onwards, informal sessions at Springer’s Phantom Studio and the SHM space at Rhenania forged a new chapter in this exchange. Those recordings form the basis of this collection, capturing four distinct incarnations of the Ukraine–Cologne connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA1 Svitlana Nianio \/ Phanton – Fake 3:39\u003cbr\u003eA2 Svitlana Nianio \/ Phanton – ManySpace 2:15\u003cbr\u003eA3 Svitlana Nianio \/ Phanton – Quiet Place 3:06\u003cbr\u003eA4 Svitlana Nianio \/ Phanton – Політ Світляки 2:16\u003cbr\u003eA5 Няньо, ГиНерв \u0026amp; Таран– Nianio, GeeNerve \u0026amp; Taran - Шепочуть Cтіни - Whispering Walls 4:32\u003cbr\u003eA6 Няньо ГиНерв \u0026amp; Таран– Nianio, GeeNerve \u0026amp; Taran - Pічка Bтома - Tired River 7:10\u003cbr\u003eB1 Solar – Your Secret 5:21\u003cbr\u003eB2 Solar – Three Steps 6:46\u003cbr\u003eB3 Solar – August Samba 3:58\u003cbr\u003eB4 Taran – Death And The Bachelor (Original Version) 5:44\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"All Night Flight Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57613393822078,"sku":"STRLP-063","price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0020\/7755\/6791\/files\/IMG_61963.jpg?v=1782485439","url":"https:\/\/allnightflightrecords.com\/products\/various-aftermath-and-transitions-traces-of-the-ukrainian-underground-in-cologne-1994-1996","provider":"All Night Flight Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
