Comment:
this set of 26 tracks clocking in at a 90 minute is a great
miscellany to reflect upon the quality of the region's music. The
tremendous part consists of bands coming from Russia but some groups
come from Lithuania, Ukraine, Poland, the Czech Republic and from
some other countries. Secondly, the guitar music does not mean only
some sort of strings but also the drums and different sort of
keyboards most of them legendary Soviet synths like Polivoks. On the
other side, the main accent is on guitars like Tonika, Musima, Jolana
which were derivatives of the US-based crafty hardware. There are up
enough tracks which do have more similarities with synth-pop and
electro pop than die-hard classic rock. However, through the
tremendous part of Russian bands there are also represented tracks
reflecting upon the so-called Vyssotski's songwriting. And there is
also up post-punk in the style of a rough,
even experimental Kino. Xmas
has already passed by there is a hint at it either. Let's listen to
it. The favourite track of mine? I may be Photon's
Discobolus,
an astounding mix of cellophane tinged jangle pop and moderate dance
vibes. It may be Superstruny's
Cziestnaja
Igra, an alternative
rock example gravitating frantically toward psychedelic idols. The
solid miscellany is compiled by the Polish Bonimedia led by Emil
Bonifaczuk.
