Clever crows fly high. Linda, the famous crow of Russian rock-music (several years ago she topped all charts with her song "I'm a crow"), decided to change her image: now she' s making videos in which she can easily be mistaken for Marylin Manson, and there's no sign of Deep Forest in her music.

But don't believe her. She's playing with electronic sound and extreme make-up in order to make a step beyond - or, rather, into her inner self. That's the way from narration to psychoanalysis. In "Placenta" Linda is balancing between indifference and tragedy, giving the audience a bit of cold madness, a lot of rational brutality. Her puzzled intonations sometimes make the audience think of a crazy computer which stubbornly keeps telling us: "File not found, try again later". Computer sound makes this impression even worse. Linda herself says that this album is "a certain mix of inexplicable wilderness, tenderness, aggression, love. Here by the means of music one can see life from all points of view".

There are only three points of view: a look from inside, a look from outside, a look from far away. Life seen from inside seems to be a bedlam, from outside it's nothing but a stupid endless race, but, according to Linda, life seen from far away is quite bearable.

Clever crows fly high. Clever angels fly higher. That's what we call evolution.
