Russian psychedelic/progressive music has quite a history as it developed over a number of years, but it is still not well known to the Western listener. This collection includes compositions, many previously unreleased, recorded over a 20 year period by very different bands from different parts of Russia. Musical originality was the main object of the selection process. The tracks are placed chronologically so that it's easier to get a retrospective idea of the genre's development. We hope that this collector's edition featuring an enhanced sound quality will be a valuable gift to the connoisseurs of unconventional music all over the world.
