Review: Originally released on Mikhaylo Vityk's own imprint Leleka in 2014 on physical, "A Voyage to Arcturus" is now for the first time available digitally via Apollo Records. Ukranian house mystic Mikhaylo Vityk offers here a suitably epic Vakula LP, A Voyage To Arcturus, trabelling between ambient, dub, tropical jazz and more. Those with a more considered grasp of literary matters will no doubt recognise that Vityk has taken titular inspiration from A Voyage To Arcturus, the 1920 novel penned by Scottish writer David Lindsay with each of the sixteen tracks also named after chapters from the book too. By his own admission, this is more of an imaginary soundtrack than outright album, and as a result there is little here one could call deep house. Spending some time with it does however confirm what a singular talent the Ukrainian is!
