OMFO - We Are the Shepherds (2006)

Comrades! It is not a coincidence that the first man in space was a shepherd (Yuri Gagarin). In fact most of the cosmonauts were shepherds as well as some of their American colleagues (astronauts William Shepherd). And what about shepherd dog Laika? Who would not have longed to hear it bark from the orbit…? Is it all a mere coincidence? Certainly not! I shall explain.
The USSR was the first country to put man in space. But also the USSR was the first to proclaim the absolute power of the proletarians, peasants and…. Yes! Shepherds! Using their "Pure Shepherd Logic" (PSL), also known as the Logic of the Shepherds, they achieved a great success on Earth, expending their pastures into the stratosphere and beyond, flying the space rockets. Shepherds, stars and the Milky Way were always friends. The flute of a shepherd used to accompany the falling meteors and eclipses of the Moon. That is how a shepherd turned, enriched by the Morse code, dissolved in pulsating clicks and the bubbly electronics, sounds into the Space Symphony, glorifying the primordial qualities of the shepherd's live.
This is the album for present day shepherds. You can enjoy it listening alone, immersed in your own shepherd fantasies or dancing with a fellow shepherd or shepherdess. These incessant rhythmic pulsations, captivating tone colors and sound effects of electronic and acoustic instruments, as well as unpretentious and plain melodic patterns, create an uncommon but contemporary feeling. Even your flock of sheep might experience a cosmically unreal and transient state, resulting in good production of milk'n'wool.
Shepherds fall in love and then they sing… they sing slow melancholic melodies with naive and beautiful lyrics. Even surrounded by eerie reaches of space, deprived of the local disco clubs, they take up to their own innovative character and invent the new musicale instruments. This is how simple drum, flute, mouth harp turned into theremin, synthesizer and sampling sequencer. This is how old songs from all around their motherland, found its new meaning in the new environment, surrounded by whirling satellites, brilliant galaxies, streaming comets and mysterious planets.
Where to go from here is the question we are pondering over already now.
