String Forces "Изохронија" [2003]

"One of the musical editions that is worth to be mentioned is the second album “Izohronija” of the Macedonian five piece band, String Forces. “Izohronija” is taken as a base of its originality and sound phantasmagoria, which separates them from the rest, even in wider fields.
In this second appearance, offering 13 compositions, String Forces makes step forward, evolutionary, do not remain immune of the infection, which in wide fields, in the years behind, is developing in two directions: revival of the origins and implementation of any compatible electronic sound. Different than some other musical formations, the synthesis and directions of String Forces, speaking for their revivals of the traditional sound, are wide in matter of influences, at the same time making attempt to insert sound fragments that belong at the musical traditions from “the rest of the world”. Electronic sound is also present in this edition, and it is some kind of refreshment that gives completely different look than the expected. The hide sensual motives in composition and often in the text, had the purpose to explain everyday events, offering in the same time identification for the listener, or start from the same experience, with the same conciseness’, but leaving the area immediate.
”Izohronija” is a conceptually different from the first album, not becouse of the instruments, which gives special mark for the acoustic, direction and for the energy, but also becouse of the language. In some sensual way they import their first ideas from six years ago" .
