Sergey Kuryokhin & Boris Grebenshchikov - Mad Nightingales In The Russian Forest - 1985

Imagine the soundtrack of a novel by Edgar Allan Poe or Lovecraft, scary, mysterious, dark, cosmic …

This have been published first by Leo Records on lp in 1986 and reissued in Russia by Solyd Records in 1997.

What is interesting in the cd version besides the Cyrillic sleeve is the fact that the two parts of the title are reunited in one uninterrupted sequence.

Boris Grebenshchikov: electric guitar

Anatoly Vapirov - Invocation

The second step of our journey to the east will allow us to discover a record that should have been a classic, it's also the first time we talk about this musician here.

Anatoly Vapirov has an important discography that includes many excellent records, unfortunately they are almost all self-produced and practically not distributed. This is unfortunate because this musician is in my opinion one of the most interesting actual saxophonist.

A/ Invocation Of Spirit, B1/ Invocation Of Fire, B2/ Invocation Of Water.
