always welcome, I hope cyrillic does not bother you. It feels really really weird to even try to translate (or transcribe) those titles

on this RIGHT now! спасибо тебе!

Already heard some of these, but not all...

btw, do you know about/have any good quality Zona Aktivnosti & Forum MP3s online? cheers

nice one, that'd be sweet!

Z.A. did a cassette release in 1986, with tracks 'ia lechu, kak meteor', 'snezhnii chelovek' & 'ushla liubov, sostav'...i only heard the 1st two tracks on a compilation someone played me last year...synth pop, italo-esque sounds...all i know otherwise is that Andrei Litiagin composed the tracks, and that the singers from Mirazh sang on them. the only link i found to MP3s is a 404, i'm afraid...

here's Forum's the best compliation of some sort. got all the tracks from this absolutely genius album http://www.discogs.com/Фору … elease/815355  + some more (maybe not so good) tracks

found nothing substantial on Зона Активности so far, thanks for the tip, will keep an eye on that name.



edit:
hehe, my googleskills get better by the day - found Зона Активности

mate...that's fantastic thanks so much for looking them up...mail me if you'll be in Petersburg anytime soon so I can buy you a drink or two

Obi1r - you mean cover-versions of stevie wonder and stuff in the mix? (the answer is no) or LP coverart? (tracks from the mix - posted what I could on them on discogs; Forum http://batzbatz.com/uploads/posts/1183116420_forum.jpg  and Zona Aktivnosti - I think it was cassette or real to real tape with no cover art)

Tottieheid - thanks, you're welcome for a beer and maybe listen to some records when you're in Minsk

Untill now, I never knew this kind of music excists in the Soviet Union... the only Soviet music i ever heard is proganda songs in war documentaries. Very nice these soviet vibes

hehe, they're pretty much rare gems. Mind you, there were no "funk artists" or "disco artists". If you lookup the names, these same bands and singers mostly produced loads and loads of shit - pop music of its time. In a typical situation, you get an album, or a compilation with one or two standout tracks. Also, any kind of sexiness and grooviness was pretty much considered politically wrong, so you don't get that many artists trying to go that way.

word to that...the first 'Melodiia' pop vinyl that i ever got my hands on was precisely as you say, nondescript but catchy, maybe even charming in places, pop music...'Nash Adres - Sovetskii Soiuz'...but it wasn't until travelling to Russia & tuning into a Kazan 'nostalgiia' radio station that i ever hear funk or disco orientated shit. i still really hope to dig for some vinyl here, even though most Russian friends say it's almost impossible...i've decided to ignore them , & take my optimism as far as it can go, through fleamarkets & junk shops
