Alexander Gradsky, also known as the “father of Soviet rock,” grew up in a privileged environment where he was allowed access to the West, and while absorbing a variety of music, he aimed to break away from Western music and created his own musical canon. This is 1974 soundtrack that became his signature work. What makes this work special is the dope track at the beginning of B1, where strange electronics, drumming, and stormy sounds intersect, and long track in the middle of side A with low beat and hints of psychedelic, romance, blues. The length is also perfect, making it a great choice for DJs. There are many pressings and this is a repress from 1980.
西側へのアクセスを許される特権階級の環境下で育ち様々な音楽を吸収しながらも西側音楽からの脱却を目指し独自の音楽大系を築き上げた”ソヴィエト・ロックの父”と称されるAlexander Gradsky。本作は彼の代名詞となる74年のサウンドトラック。何と言ってもこの作品を特別にしているB1冒頭の奇怪な電子使い、ドラミング、嵐の音が交錯するドープ・トラックとA面中盤のロウなビートにサイケデリック、ロマンス、ブルースを匂わせる長尺トラックがヤバすぎます。尺の長さも申し分なくDJにも嬉しい仕様。多くのプレスがありますが、こちらは80年リリースとなるリプレス版。
