Featured Albums
Feudalism (Феодализм)
Recorded (mostly) in the 80s but actually released in 2007, this is an attempt at historical revisionism, a Photoshopped album in which contemporary production is grafted onto seminal late 80s recordings from the chaotic post-Equinox, pre-Russian Album period. Shameless and—like most things that are truly shameless—wildly successful.
White Horse (Лошадь белая)
Does this pale horse presage the Apocalypse of Akvarium, or its rebirth?
