The abbreviation "U.C.A." is not related to the "ska" style, it means "the Union of the Commercial Avant-garde" and represents a side-project of Nikolay Rubanov, a saxophonist from the "Auktyon" group. The "U.C.A." group, which plays "new improvisational music" and, according to the weekly "Your leisure", "combines in it's creativity drive and elegancy, welter and polish", exists since 1996 and has already released seven studio albums. The debut DVD "U.C.A. Gegen Acht" presents a concert, which was held in summer 2007 in the harbour of the Rostock city (Germany) on an ex-fishing trawler "Stubnitz", which was converted into a mobile culture center. This record is an evidence of the exceptional scenic artistry of Nikolay Rubanov and the second leader of the project, Mikhail Bernikov, a vocalist ("A time to love").
