WEJDAS - ZEMES ALSAVIMAS (CD by Dangus)
Wejdas are also well-known but for whatever unknown reason never reviewed in Vital Weekly. Their new album title translates as 'breathing of the world'. These days Wejdas is a two piece band: Darius Gerulaitis (voice, synth, sampling, delay) and Donatas Bielkauskas (programming, keyboards, sampling, horns). There are two works on this CD, the lengthy 'Klinciu Sluoksnis', one track of thirty minutes and the seven parts that form 'Angliu Sluoknsnis'. Wejdas plays dark ambient industrial music that has many ancestors, mainly those who write 'ritualistic' as 'ritualistik' - it's utter dark music, with occasional rhythm that is vaguely ethno related and spoken word sections (as opposed to singing). Sometimes thing may be a bit too pathetic, too gothic as I would have said in a different life, but when things become less self-serious and more experimental, its certainly enjoyable. For those who love all things bleak and ambient industrial, for the fans of Hybryds and Schloss Tegal, but a bit more ambient, than this is certainly to check out.

WEJDAS: "Zemés Alsavimas"- CD (DGCD015)
Third CDby this Lithuanian duo released on their own label this time after a CDR onBastet and a CD on Red Stream."Zem?s Alsavimas" meaning "Breath of the earth",you can expect ritual music and this CD is absolutely great ritual music, very evolutive and catching, with a first long evolutive droning introductory track and climaxing on second part of the CD on tracks like "Ritualen des Bersteines" - rituals of the yellow amber - where you can really feel the ritual and shamanistic touch. Somehow as you were participating to the ritual… Really recommended if you like powerful and meaningfull atavistic ritual music. One of our lasts heartbeats

WEJDAS “Zemes alsavimas” cd 
Nun gut, das erste Hindernis war überwunden und nun konnte ich mich der weiteren Gestaltung des Artworks widmen. Die gesamte Cd ist in Braun und Sandtönen gehalten und passt so gut zum Titel der CD „Zemes Alsavimas“ oder auch „Atmen der Erde“. Beim weiteren betrachten der Rückseite fällt einem sofort ins Auge, dass die CD komplett 2-sprachisch, in Litauisch und in Deutsch, betitelt ist. Dies setzt sich auch im Inlay fort, wo man die Texte und weitere Informationen finden kann. Was aber beinhalten die 70:07 Minuten Spielzeit, wobei auf den ersten der 8 Titel schon 30:03 Min verfallen und somit einen einzelnen Abschnitt der CD darstellt. Hier wird ein recht weites Spektrum an Ambientenklängen angerissen. Sind einige Lieder geradezu ruhig und düster deprimierend, kann ein anderes einen schon wieder zum Tanzen einladen. Wobei "zerstampfte heide" und "atavistische zeichen" zu den Liedern gehören die tanzbar sind, so wirkt "ritualen des bersteines" recht rituallastig und erinnert auch ein wenig an Muslimgauze. "Abyss [glanz des eisens]" wiederum wirk sehr chaotisch, wird aber Freunden von hochfrequentiertem Piepsen eine wahre Freude machen.
Gesungen wird komplett in litauisch, was man wohl auch als Heimatverbundenheit ansehen kann. Abschließend kann man sagen, dass Wejdas mit „Zemes Alsavimas“ ein sehr gutes Album abgeliefert haben, auf dem sich einige wahre Glanzstücke befinden. Anspieltip wäre für mich Titel 6 „atavistische zeiten“. Ein Kauf, den Hörer und DJ’s aus dem Ambientbereich nicht bereuen werden.

WEJDAS - Wejdas
Somewhere between the minimal ambient rhythmic panoramic sounds of Endura and the edge of metal-tinged folk industrial, this band produces a digitally-synchronized assembly of sounds built around a general rhythmic shape, unifies it by a concept mostly transparent to the listener yet felt in the completeness of songs, held together like noise music by an improvisational mixture of distorted sound, strings, keyboard- and synthesizer-generated waves, as well as the confluence of effects in processing guitar textures. Although this isn't an exact science, and this three-song EP ranges across the spectrum without doing more than demonstrating proof of concept, there could be a future for this band if they take their clearly facility with music and use it to convey causally related concepts, as there are already too many bands that leap into an atmosphere, swim in it for a brief spell, and then depart. One of the recent
adventurous signings on Red Stream.

V/A (Bastet Recordings) BASTET'S BASTARDS V.2
Many of the compilations that I have recently reviewed have been sheer treasure chests of new music, each one opening up whole new vistas of sound, and Bastet's Bastards is certainly no exception. The bands and artists featured on Bastet -- a number of them quite obscure -- are generally excellent, and if anything Bastet seems to plunge deeper into the underground and extreme than its sister labels. The compilation swiftly moves from atmospheric and classically inspired soundtrack music, over harsh noise, and on to more experimental types of electronically generated music.
The CD opens with a very beautiful piece from the now deleted CD by Heid -- Submitting To The Uprush Of The Unconscious. The sound is closest in quality to some of the more atmospheric bands on Cold Meat Industry; a stately progressing, classically inspired anthem composed of layers of darkly harmonic themes, and dense, shattering percussions. Wejdas carry on the mystical and somewhat disconcerting mood of Heid, although their mode of expression is radically different. On "Die Welt Ohne Rahmen" the listener is led into a primal setting, echoing with slow ritualistic rhythms and grotesquely distorted voices. "Le Langue Des Autres" by N.L.C. retains the classical elements of violins, piano and distant chorals, but corrupt the orchestral serenity with sputtering electronic emissions, a media sample concerning the theory of gravity, as well as a sensual female voice reciting brief messages in French.

Elegy 4 'Various Artists'
CD-r 2000
Xabec, Gestalt, Conscientia Peccati, Ilhevs, Frames A Second, King Lear's Convulsions, Stream Angel, Jliat, Wejdas, The Implicit Order & The American Tract Society.
Another CD-R compilation from EE Tapes showing the varying forms of ambient electronics. The music ranges from the eerie, deep space ambient of King Lears's Convulsions to the Vidna Obmana-inspired electronics of Xabec. Then there is the simple-yet-effective heartbeat rhythm with foreboding electronics of Alfa Tau Bau, and the melancholic, beautiful grand piano piece from Jliat that makes me think of melting snow at the end of winter. let us not forget the soothing ambient electronics with tribal drum rhythms of Jlhevs, the sci-fi darkness with sinister whispered voices and moretribal beats of Frames A Second, and the resonating spacey ambience of Wejdas. All of these are excellent. In fact, there are only a couple of tracks here which don't meet the high standard set by the aforementioned.
Limited to only 133 numbered copies, so get in there quick!

"WEJDAS" 2000 RED STREAM CD. Curioso trabajo el de estos dos paganos lituanos, Donatas Bielkauskas y Darius Gerulaitis. He escuchado cosas raras en mi vida, pero trabajos como este a?n me sorprenden. Y no necesariamente en un sentido positivo, aunque maticemos este comentario...
El CD consta de tres largos temas: "Wejdas", de m?s de 30 minutos, "Inirshis/Rage", de 10, y "Pasaulis Be Riby/The World without Limits", de 6 y pico. El primero, que constituye las dos terceras partes del total del disco, es sin duda alguna el mejor de todos: un suave comienzo con una melod?a de piano que pronto se diluye en sonidos cada vez m?s tétricos, los sonidos de agua y pajarillos ceden terreno ante voces con eco y graves percusiones, teclados solemnes y gritos lejanos. A medida que la percusión se desvanece volvemos a escuchar los sonidos de la naturaleza y la voz distorsionada recitando de una manera que recuerda un poco a los grandiosos Endvra, salvando las diferencias. La recta final del tema nos conduce de nuevo a una especie de ambient sosegado y envolvente, no del todo "dark", hasta que los ?ltimos estertores de "Wedjas" nos traen de nuevo las percusiones y la primera melod?a de piano lejana y t?mida como despedida a una pieza excelente, bien construida, con variedad de cambios y que no se hace en absoluto pesada a pesar de su duración.
Muy distinto es el segundo tema: un mismo riff de corte industrial se repite durante diez minutos, sin variaciones salvo el paso de limpio a distorsionado y vuelta otra vez, hasta que en los segundos finales aparece una especie de flauta andina que alivia muy ligeramente la agon?a de su escucha. Un co?azo insufrible, de verdad: monótono, aburrido, falto de ideas... Una joyita, vamos.
En cuanto al tercer tema, tampoco es gran cosa, pero al menos se puede escuchar. Una pieza suave y ambiental, demasiado new age para mi gusto, pero que se deja oir en esas horas tard?as en las que tus dolidos o?dos se resienten del ruido y sólo quieres relajarte un poco. Un poco empalagosa, eso s?...
En resumen, un buen trabajo aunque sólo sea porque la primera pieza es la que lleva todo el peso del CD y compensa los defectos de las otras dos. No esperes nada del otro mundo, pero al menos el aprobado lo ganan. http://www.terra.es/personal/sogonz/coment/coment08/0109WEJDAS.html

WEJDAS: s/t CD .LIT
Ritualistic dark ambient at it´s finest.

WEJDAS s/t CD. Wejdas is a ambiant project coming out from Lithuania. This two men band seems to have a double personnality. One of these personality is caracterised by a slow an spiritual (maybe new-age) vibe. The other personality is weird and very experimental.
The first track of this album last over tirty-one minutes. It's a kind of mystical meeting between a man and some spirit coming from the land of the dead. The opening piano melody is pure magic. A impressing quantity of samplers and organic effect, along with some monk choirs, are include in this track. In fact it's the only track that matter on this CD, the perfect relaxing music before to go to bed.
As far as I'm concern, I think that the other two track are not pertinent at all. The second track is a kind of weird and repetitive (and aggressive) beat executed on a instrument unknow to me. Imagine that you are already fell asleep during the first track and you suddenly wake up, swearing against this kind of techno (and your girlfriend also swear at you because you awake her). What you do after? You probably drop the CD in the garbage or just put it back in is jewel case (in swearing, of course) and never listen to it again. Finally, the third track is a kind of boring musical interlude play on some strings instruments.
Their is only some vocals in the first track. They are executed on a kind of ghostly narrative parts. The lyrics are in Lithuanian (I think) and they are translate within the booklet. It talks of a mystic reflections about the nature arround him (the narrator).
Overall, a part of this album is excellent but the other part is a total waste of time.
QUOTE:4.5/10 8 for the first track, 0 for the two others

WEJDAS " ........" ( "I tamsa" - it's written in runes, which we don't have in PC) demo #1
Infact demo is for those loosers who're saying they're playing pagan music, but although it's only new name for the trendy death - black metal. Look, listen and beware, assholes, WHAT TRUE PAGAN music is alike!!! Look at you and look at this, suckers! Wejdas, the true pagan band from the last pagan land... Definitely a must, if you're tired of these clowns with painted skulls pretending to be a pagans.

V/A "Dark Fire Dancing III" Dangus Productions
The second part, "Amulet" presents more silent, ambient side of pagan creation. Here we find dark wave, neo-folk, ambient, experimental bands, and such groups as Laume, Girnu Giesmes, WEJDAS offer what's worth to look for in this field. So, if you want to get familiar with the Baltic scene, it is one of the best chances to do that; some of the music sounds really original and interesting in the world context as well!

WEJDAS - 'Wejdas' CD (Red Stream)
Very obscure release - apocalyptic folk with semi-orchestral tendencies from this new Lithuanian duo. Strings and pianos, chants, flutes and voices make up this lush collection, but with strange electronics and noises also. Only three tracks but over 45 minutes of music - a nice discovery.
