It's a good score - a highlight of 2013, and still Kallis' best effort. I'm obviously content with the already-generous 49-minute OST. Weird to see such a new score, relatively speaking, get an expansion.
I like this score. One of the interesting elements of this Kallis work is a choir which sings Russian lyrics. It was written by Russian lyricist and performed by native speakers singers so pronounce of lyrics is a way clearer, than in Hollywood scores. The problem is its still hard to hear the words and there was no lyrics included in booklet of the album. So, I hope that in booklet from KMR release will be included the choir lyrics. If so, I'll definitely order this album.
If some of you interested about example of choir lyrics, here's the track in this part of the suite is "Vostok" and lyrics of this track with English translation:
No ty vechno ne mozhesh' zhit' zdes', my dolzhny uletet', A Zvozdnyy Svet pomozhet nam.
But you can't live here forever, we must fly away, And the Starlight will help us.
This is a wonderful score. A limited edition of just 100 copies sounds crazy to me.
My first order with them was great. I got my order quicker than some of my U.S. orders.
My latest order is a mess. Not KMR's fault but it's been about 7 weeks since it shipped and I fear it's gone astray in the mail. It left Russia, went to Poland, went to JFK, went back to Poland, went to JFK and now it hasn't updated in 6 days.

Update. It's back in Poland!
Well my order finally arrived. It was very well packaged and everything arrived safely.
I would love to have the new Kallis release but I don't think I want to go through the stress that I went through on the last order again.
Sorry to hear about folks trouble getting their KMR shipments. I have ordered at least 8 times and never had an issue whatsoever. The label deserves our support given the fine quality of all the releases and the absolutely stunningly low prices. And now that Dmitry is releasing MovieScoreMedia titles more amazing releases are sure to come.
