«?????», ???? ????? ??????????? (???. ?.??????? , ??. ?.???????????) translation based on the version by M. Morozov. Beneath the pale blue sky, a golden city's placed, with gates as clear as crystal glass and with a star ablaze. A garden blossoms there, with flowers far and wide, and fascinating animals are wandering inside. One beast is like a yellow fiery lion, another is an ox all full of eyes, and the third of them is Golden Eagle gazing from the heavens unforgettably. And from that sky of blue, a star is shining through. My angel, look! This star is yours, it always shines for you. Beloved are those who love, and blessed those giving light. The shining star will guide you to the garden of delight. The yellow fiery lion will greet you there, together with the blue ox full of eyes. You will also meet the golden eagle gazing from the sky so unforgettable... + Informações

Russias greatest living songwriter spends one month every year in a Tibetan monastery. But his independent thinking has not always served his career well. Grebenshikov and his group Akvarium (Aquarium) blasted onto the Leningrad rock scene in 1973, when there were very few official groups in the Soviet Union. The poet laureate of Russian rock refused to submit his contemplative songs to the governments censorship committees. When Akvarium could not get sanctioned gigs, they played in underground venues, basements, back alley bars, and through it all they built up one of the most loyal fan bases of any Russian act.. + Informações

Radio Silence was the title single of an album by Boris Grebenshchikov, leader of the Russian group Aquarium. The album was recorded in 1989 in studios in the USA, UK, and Canada, mostly with Western musicians, and produced by David A. Stewart of Eurythmics. It was hailed as the first contract of a Russian (then, Soviet) rock musician with a Western label. Having by then achieved the status of the most prominent rock musician in Russia, Boris had just recently been permitted to travel abroad (thanks to perestroika). On most tracks, only Alexander Titov (bass) is of the then-current Russian Aquarium band, the rest being Western musicians (with the exception of Death of King Arthur where many Aquarium musicians can be heard). It was originally planned that the album would have half songs in Russian and half in English, but in the final album there are only two Russian songs on the B side. After the Radio Silence project, Grebenshikov returned to Russia and embarked upon an extraordinary, decade-long run of classic Russian-language albums, producing some of the most beloved and critically acclaimed material of his career. Today he is a respected "senior statesman" in the world of Russian rock music. OFFICIAL SITE: www.aquarium.ru ENGLISH-LANGUAGE SITE: www.dharmafish.org WIKIPEDIA: en.wikipedia.org. + Informações

A video clip of "Nikita of Ryazan" (?????? ?????????) from "The Russian Album" (??????? ??????), released in 1992. From an English-language review: The Russian Album: Beautiful. Fundamental. It is arguably the single greatest Akvarium album and it is definitely among the greatest rock albums. After his one and a half foreign solo albums, Boris Grebenshikoiv toured with "The BG Band," recording two albums under that name before renaming the band Akvarium. This piece of genius is the first of those recordings. My theory is that it marks Boris' recovery from a bad spate of bewilderment and disillusionment after he got out of the crumbling USSR into the wasteland of late '80s England/America under the influence of record company folks and his own longstanding ideas of what it means to be a rock star in the West. With Russian Album he takes his own advice (circa Acoustics) and grabs hold of his roots. [...] [The chorus of the opening song,] "Nikita Ryazanski," [goes:] Look, Lord: A fortress, and the fortress breeds fear, And we are children in your hands. Teach us to see you In every misfortune. Take, Lord, this bread and wine. Watch, Lord, as we dive to the bottom. Teach us to breathe underwater. This album emerges from the heart of the heart of darkness, the early years of the 90's. Perestroika and the fall are history, while the present and the foreseeable future belong to the new robber barons and the pseudo-culture of the buzzcut thug. "Nikita Ryazanski" references the .... + Informações

No copyright infringement intended. This just wasn't on YouTube, so I decided to fix that. Anyway, Boris Grebenshikov is awesome B) -~= LYRICS =~- Sitting in a corner In my castle made of single-malt and smoke With all my friends around me And I love them 'til i choke And I watch you dance with someone Someone not even there And you're simple as in "sacrilege" And you're pure as in "prayer" Somewhere there's a point of no resistance But we make sure there's no getting there And we're beautiful when we're animals But so easily scared And I cannot even talk to you Stricken down as a hunter to its prey Sliding down, down this hill of glass again And there's nothing I can say I guess it's just the time I guess it's just the time I guess it's just the time And I will see you when the time is over And then the northern wind calls And then curtains part And then the castle wall falls And there's an arrow in my heart There's only one way out of prison Which is to set your jailer free But then, it's just another bunch of pretty words That stand between the sailor and the sea So forgive me, though I know you never will Battered by your pride And so I'm locked again within these castle walls And you freeze alone outside I guess it's just the time I guess it's just the time I guess it's just the time And I will see you when the time is over. + Informações

Another rare DIY video from the legendary, once-underground Russian/Soviet rock band Aquarium (????????), featuring vocalist Boris Grebenshikov (BG)/ ????? ??????????? (??) -- the perestroika-era song is "Thirst" (?????), from their self-recorded 1985 album, December's Children (???? ???????). One caveat: It's one of their more experimental songs, but arguably not a very successful experiment. I post it more for its historical significance than its musical merits! As well-stated in this English language review of the ???? ??????? album: "The production is so murky it sounds like it was recorded, so to speak, at the bottom of a fish tank, and yes, it leads off with 'Thirst,' which is ? I opine, after years of careful consideration ? far and away the worst thing that the Original Akvaium ever came up with, but these blemishes only serve highlight the essential brilliance of the rest of the album. "Let's start with the 'Thirst' issue, if only to dismiss it out of hand. It's terrible. It's not even original and terrible but highly derivative and terrible. The lyrics rip off David Byrne and the music, so called, is a Casio and trash can symphony of industrial banality, like Einsturzende Neubauten playing Space Invaders. Don't know what they were smokin' when they decided that not only would it make a good first track on DD, but that it merited being released as a vinyl EP ? one of only a handful of Akvarium vinyl releases from the 80's ? but I could use some of it right now .... + Informações
