"It always makes sense to follow the light, even if it is far away across the oceans, steppes and wastelands of life itself, even if it will be difficult, painful and maybe even full of tears, gloom and doubts. Sometimes you can't just flow, just be and watch. Such a life would be a mere illusion, at least if you believe that you have your place in this world, a space in which you should leave something. And you realize that everything is not a matter of course, that even ordinary life itself is not taken for granted. And you know that best when something knocks you to your knees on the way to the imaginary light. But how to overcome all this and move on, in this world, where some have their ego, their business, their appearance and are in a spiral of consumer life formed by contemporary society? Aren't we all alone in the end? Luckily no... and this realization is euphorically liberating.

With the raw poetics of a wistful and almost soundtrack-like ambient I'm looking for how we can overcome the various obstacles on this path as easily as possible. How we can get out of the rut and look positively even on the most challenging days, when we have the impression that something like goodness is disappearing.

And maybe only at this point will we know that charm, that feeling that even on the hardest days we can find calmness, determination, and the strength to definitively fight the feelings of failure that wanted to destroy us. All this and many other thoughts are expressed in my album 'Hard Days in Goodness Spent', created in the heart of Europe, in my native Czech Republic."

Umé Records presents the album "Hard Days in Goodness Spent" from the Czech Republic's Martin Kuška.

There is an old primal feeling which seems to emanate from Aleksandr L. As a youngster he used to love sharing tapes amongst his friends and family: sharing is caring… Maybe music served as some form of escapism to the cold and grey Lithuanian weather?

His next step and natural evolution from analog to digital gave place to a podcast series: Electric Shapes. Another remedy in the form of music which eventually turned into the label of the same name, thanks to his partner in crime Jokios Kulturos’s prolific contributions. The sound of Electric Shapes is clearly aimed at an open minded dancefloor bridging the long gone days of alternative raves with the clubs of today. Amongst a continuous (broken) beat the catalogue is also peppered with some more downtempo and relaxed tunes which are a perfect partner to the end of the night or the start of a new day. The main purpose being to spread the love and bring peace through sound: Music is the cure.

“One can only arrive at the experience of the transcendental – if it is reached at all – when one is oneself in a position of un-knowing, that is, of humility; namely, while remaining in the world of technê he or she begins to venerate a certain kind of experience, acquires it, makes it one’s own, realizes it, sustains it, repeats it – without burdening its sense, its essence with its own great questions.” - László Krasznahorkai, “The Acropolis in Sunglasses”
