"The release of the compilation »Setting Thoughts On Fire« on the Berlin label Vaagner, the proceeds of which go to 'Kyiv Angles' and 'Helping to Leave', does not seem unusual at first. But the six pieces come exclusively from artists who could face serious repercussions in their home country of Russia for any kind of expression of solidarity. Perhaps it's no wonder that even an artist like Perila, who otherwise works intensively with her own voice, does without vocals on her track, just as her colleagues—including Pavel Milyakov, known as Buttechno, and X.Y.R., for example—largely do without the direct and obvious, i.e. without statements. Instead, they express a basic mood with electronic soundscapes and only rarely very discreetly used rhythms. But in the course of this stringently curated compilation, the atmosphere gradually changes and ends on a lighter note. Is all of this to be understood as a kind of wordless protest? Perhaps. But it most certainly offers musical visions of a world in which it would not even be necessary."
