Yeah, I've liked her music since I saw a couple of her songs on BBC2 about 18 years ago, then a year or 2 later a friend gave me a load of albums he didn't want and among them was Bravo - "Ensemble". (There was another Russian album among them by Janna Bichevskaya, no title but it was released in 1974, I really like that one too). When I got on the net in 2000 I downloaded every Aguzarova song I could find.

I already have those 2 songs, but I might as well download the full album to hear what Noshnoy Prospect sound like.

I don't suppose you have a link to her 1993 "Nineteen Ninety's" album?, that's one that never seemed to appear anywhere online. All I could find was 30 second samples of each song. Apart from that one I think I have a full set of everything up to 1999. Since then I believe she's had one more album in 2003 called "Back2Future" which I've only been able to find one song from.

Another Russian singer I like is Tatiana Bulanova. She has loads of albums.

Yeah! Hats and coats for me too

What a fantastic country.

I have been obsessed with it since I had a Russian penfriend in Moscow at primary school.

I regularly fantasise about going on the Trans-Siberian Express all the way from St Petersburg to Vladivostock

Me too! We should make a HL invasion of it!

My dad did it when he was in his mid-20's (though the opposite way, Vladivostock to the-then Leningrad)... I never stop asking him about it.

Notchnoi Prospekt played diverse music
electro-pop/new wave (1985-1987)
ambient (1987)
industrial/kraut rock (1987-1988)
'Swans' rock (1989-1990)
Manchester rock (1991-1993)
noise, industrial trip-hop (1994 - present)
here's their full studio collection - http://ifolder.ru/f16274
plus few videos and concerts
highly recommended

if you want, i can find all Aguzarova's albums on CD-R

here's Nineteen Nineties
all songs were composed by Vasily Shumov of Center
and they recorded the album together
they both lived in LA then, as i recall
all those songs were played by Center in 80s - in electro-pop/post-punk vibe
Shumov moved to Los Angeles in 1991 and still lives there
sometimes (1996, 1997, 2006) he visits Russia with concerts
i was lucky to attend at two concerts that year (filmed

)
now he plays eclectic electro
and 90s were weird - he played from awful rock-n-roll to trance
and such is this album
http://www.centromania.com/
http://www.centromania.com/english/eng.html
http://www.centromania.com/mp3_albums.html
some info for you
all stuff is highly recommended, but 1987-1989, i think, is the best
3 post-punk albums and 1 is first Soviet EBM

Here's mine.

Actually, thanks for starting this topic. Russian music is probably still poorly represented in the West.

Reminds me, years ago I used to have some Gorky Park tapes...

(Edited to add the

that Gorky Park probably deserve.)

1993

An old mate of mine got a job teaching english over in moscow and came back to yorkshire for a week (renew his visa, etc) and brought some tapes back with him and gave me a couple as a present. His old boss used to be involved in the liverpool punk scene (Frankie Goes to Hollywood

), but then she moved to Leningrad in the early 1980's, met the fledgling band (Khno) and ended up being good mates and a big fan of them. He told me a few stories, that she told him, about what the band used to get upto!

Posted: **01 Feb 2007, 01:08**

Ah, there's more Tatiana Bulanova on youtube since I last looked (I found a few more when I searched for her name in English too).

Is that ifolder site searchable?

ormfdmrush wrote:if you want, i can find all Aguzarova's albums on CD-R

Thanks, I'd love to get any more recent ones, or any older ones I've overlooked.
I think I have most of them though...

1986 Bravo - Ensemble
1986 Notchnoi Prospekt - Gumanitarnaya Zhizn
1988 Bravo 1983-1988 (Ensemble + 4 extra songs)
1991 Russian Album
1993 Bravo - Live In Moscow
1993 Nineteen Ninety's (thanks for the link!)
1995 Bravo - Pesni Rasnix Let
1998 Bravo - Hity Pro Lubov' (only 1 song features Aguzarova)
1998 Lychie Pesni (compilation of previously released with 2 new songs)
1999 Avtochit (1 song on a cassette compilation)
1999 The Best (best-of with 7 new songs, although 4 of the 6 are tiny realaudio files)

Are you able to get hold of any videos? All I've got is the stuff on youtube (3 of which I uploaded myself) and a bunch of tiny low quality files on aguzarova.com (the site seems to be broken right now, the menu has vanished and I've no idea why).
