6YPAH – Prozorno Mesto (Digital/CD Album – Final Muzik)
6YPAH is a Slovenian/Italian duo releasing their debut album here. It appears to be a conceptual work inspired by the early years of the Soviet space program and the space race with the USA.
The duo crafted this six-track album primarily using analog equipment. The opening track immediately transports us to a bygone musical era, perfectly matching the album’s concept. Clear Krautrock influences are evident, with the psychedelic guitar taking center stage. Gradually, a balance develops between guitar and electronics, with the warm analog textures adding further depth. The music consistently evokes a sense of nostalgia, at times leaning toward an ’80s aesthetic and even incorporating touches of Wave-Pop. Vocals are present throughout, although they serve more as an additional layer than as the main focus of the compositions.
This strikes me as the kind of album that truly benefits from a visual component, allowing its concept to unfold to its fullest. It is a highly commendable debut that will especially appeal to a discerning audience. (Rating:6½).

I have been working for over 30 years with Side-line as the main reviewer. My taste is eclectic, uncoventional and I prefer to look for the pearls, even if the bands are completely unknown, thus staying loyal to the Side-Line philosophy of nurturing new talents.
Since you’re here …
… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can - and we refuse to add annoying advertising. So you can see why we need to ask for your help.
Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.
If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
