Awesome work!Can I translate your video into Chinese?

I think the algorithm brought me to your channel because I was watching a lot of Kino -- and I am very happy it did! Really love your content and the new music I have been introduced to. I appreciate all the research you do, and how it's presented in such an easy way to understand -- even for someone like me with really no context or knowledge of the subject. You also have a really lovely speaking voice.

My guess is, at that time, Mike Oldfield would be the best bet for Boris new album - he would probably understand folk and prog elements of it, and would also find a way to make it BIG.

39:12 Spinki Menta is the early name of Chernyi Lukich, not another band.

классная подача

Thank you for this video! I became fascinated with all the new music i discovered on your channel. Greetings from Greece.

Great Video! Loved listening to these great songs. I discovered some new ones here! Спасибо🤘🤘

Wow I really missed out on a whole solid variety of music. There are some gems in here I will be checking out. Some of them could fit on a compilation albums with the likes of Fastball, Third Eye Blind and Spin Doctors

Ok I’ve never heard of them but wow I really like TequilaJazz. It’s too bad I hadn’t heard of them sooner out here in the states. Great band, awesome sound.

It’s the Soviet Trash Theory! I dig it

Found you through your rym account and I just wanna say that this is a super high quality video, thank you for introducing me into a genre I've been interested in for a minute

Your video is like a real post-punk. Loved by the few, hidden gem!

Great video. I wish more of this stuff was on Spodify. Beat Madness really reminded me of Oingo Boingo. Heat Commitee seems to be big fans of The Clash, or even Big Audio Dynamite. The very Alyans track you sampled at 20:12 is the only song in this video that I knew, and is on a playlist.

If it is group of Soviet period why are there 7B and Moomin Troll?

Ilya Lagutenko to me, as a child of late 1980s, who became a teenager in early 2000s, is still russian David Bowie. He had such a revolutionary lyrics, sound and image, which took me too far in a rock music exploring journey. A lot of different bands which you mention are unique and curious too (such as Kolibri, Agata Kristi, Zemfira, etc. - love 'em) Thank you for such an interesting and unique video which explains such a great slice of russian culture and music. this is a beautiful work.

I hope you will add the story of Estonian punk rocker Villu Tamme, his band JMKE, the hit song "Tere, Perestroika" and it's success in both Estonia and Finland with album "Külmale maale" to the second part. It's an acutal small scale success story and Villu is beloved punk hero to this day in Estonia and Finland. Altough in Estonia he is more like something between Bruce Springsteen and Jello Biafra...

Thank you so much for such a detailed trip to the past, some of the mentioned facts are still completely obscure to the majority of post-soviet music fans. Can't imagine what it took to source that data for a (presumably) non-native speaker, what a hell of a job! P.S.: Can't wait for some coverage of the mid-to-late 90s and 00s post-soviet DIY scenes - HC punk, hip hop and underground electronic music that were huuuuge back then and made a sizable chunk of progressive youth culture's daily content agenda during almost complete absence of the Internet coverage. The artists and scene actors involved were very true to their DIY ethos (including the launch of another wave of Samizdat craze) and made some very authentic and original material spanning way beyond music as a medium. Also, 70s and 80s soviet jazz fusion/avant-garde jazz acts definitely require more disclosure due to incorporation of their own unique take on local folklore and music tradition (e.g. Dos Mukasan, Gunesh and Medeo from Central Asia and a multitude of genius musicians from the Baltics like Lembit Saarsalu, Uno Naisoo, Jaan Kuman and many many more). Words can describe how important your work is, hats off and the best of luck to you!

To western listeners I really can'y recommend enough to listen to Agatha Christie full discography. It is amazing, my favourite album is Uragan (1998). It's very dark and beautiful with super catchy hooks and riffs in every song

As for Radio Silence itself, yeah,I would definitely keep more elements from Aquarium. Cause when you get down to it,a lot of ballads on here would work great,if instead of those dated sounds you had more folksy instrumentation. Doing mellow rootsy music at the end of the 80s would probably get you more fans than a cliche pop ballad sound everyone was tiring of. And maybe add some more uptempo numbers,give it more life

Nice to see that someone is covering this topic, especially a non-Russian. It's a very interesting to think about,because there are a bunch of artists, rock and metal alike,that tried to break through due to interest from US and Europe,but very quickly found out that the market for their music there was very small and short-lived in terms of commercial success. And when they returned home,a lot of them didn't survive for long,cause they lost sizable amount of following at home. Grebenshikov's case was an outlier, because when he properly returned after the failure of Radio Silence,he broke up the Aquarium (for now) that wasn't really going anywhere stylistically, made a solo group called BG Band and recorded Russian Album,which was a folky album with a lot of Slavic imagery and very resonating lyrics about the state of things. It was successful and so he got together a new Aquarium line-up and made a bunch of albums in sorta similar style for almost entirety of 90s. I can say whatever I want about the man and his music,but he did a right move there. If you haven't listened to Russian Album, absolutely do so, it's a masterpiece in my opinion

"Spinki menta" - без адаптации на англ. язык 😂 А вообще - классный ролик. Много чего узнал нового.

Your documentary on Soviet post punk was very informative and interesting. From just a few of the comments I've read here, you not only shined a light on these bands/performers for a western population, but also, for people from those areas of the world as well. Great work!💯👍

Let's gooo

I had trouble with copyright so If the audio cuts in places, that's probably why.

Bioconstructor is soviet Depeche Mode

не важно как и не понятно зачем, но так хотелось быть похожими на что-то недостижимо и неописуемо крутое. )) Инфантилизм в полный рост... и глубочайшая вторичность в каждом аспекте.

Kino was amazing, sad we lost Victor so early in his life.

another nice episode

Regarding Jugendstil: There was even an occasional revival for a couple of shows. When band became inactive, German played with a band ZGA ("Полёт заразы" album) for some time. As he used to say, Jugendstil was not over, he just lost a wish to do smth new and write new songs.

Amazing video, once again very insightful. Would be very interesting to see more detailed follow-up videos on certain artists (like Kino or Letov for example)

Bravo

Wow, what a great video. So many great insights of this vague culture. I think it's only now that people start to appreciate this period in Russia, let alone in the west😅

Many thanks for memory, share and good expertice of the bands. In 90s there even existed a term "TaMTam-generation", describing most influental bands of the place (Messer fur FM, Chimera, Jugendstil, Tequilajazzz, Pauki, etc). Maybe it was Redt saying, "all sounded very different, but were doing some vibes". All were experimental and mixing differernent styles and genres. In a reference to Tequilajazzz, one might be interested in the band Pupsy. Band got a short and bright fame, passed away, but became a starting point for some influental hardcore and post-hardcore musicians.

Guy, your Russian is just wonderful, for me personally as a Russian

ахуенно группа Питреская в видео англиская блять

Конечно некоторые группы тут тяжело отнести к пост-панку, но в целом конечно стоит их вспоминать. Не знаю, были ли у ваших видео группы плана «Мотогонки», «Хуго-Уго», «Элен», «Зазеркалье», «Холодный Дождь», «Вечерняя Школа», группы Сантима? Отдельно также можно вспомнить о творчестве группы «Дубовый Гаайъ». В целом контент интересный, спасибо

Ох, далеко не часто можно найти подобный контент. Как то ранее сам в тик токе людям освещал прелести пост совкового андера. Все группы до боли знакомые и любимые

First track is an absolute banger, love it.

Thank you a lot for this research! My personal favourites are Molotov Cocktail from Voronezh: ua-cam.com/video/bvqLI_A_nIk/v-deo.html

great video, was very surprised to hear my home country and city here

What is your opinion of Soviet post-punk?

Даешь советский нью вейв в массы!

Like from me but u lost lots of the popular bands from Mechtat' to Segodnya Noch'yu. Part 2?

Very nice rewiev, thanks! ("Igry" and "AVIA" -- are both shard of "Strannye Igry", AFAICR)

Damn that was really cool from soviet guys my favorite is СпиД and girl punk group Женская болезнь So there then is obscure guys сибирский мастурбатор but they from 90 AND Ольга Горпенко she is poetist but some of her lyrics are set to music

finally got time to listen, another great episode, everyone should listen to Aquarium at least once

you forgot to mention Akvarium that was the most influential band in the beginning of the Soviet Post-Punk

Спасибо. отличные песни

Whoa, that's a pretty extensive video essay, covering such wide range of bands. Thank you so much! Definitely had heard several new names. I've been interested in 80s soviet music for years, and I know about only 70% of bands you featured in this video. As for the favorites, which probably didn't land in your other videos or compilations, I would like to point out: Иванов Даун / Ivanov Down - ua-cam.com/video/h1KV1cLY0Pg/v-deo.html They were from Kyiv, playing mostly mostly atonal / noisy / no wave-ish stuff. Definitely check their "Best Urban Technical Noises" album. Хуго-уго / Hugo-Ugo - ua-cam.com/video/Cy37rgBtQjI/v-deo.htmlsi=kRMMvSB0NZ7fdf9J They were from Tolyatti. Also some of their brighter and stripped-down tracks were recorded solely by their leader, Максим Котомцев / Max Kotomtsev - ua-cam.com/video/BXB9PkD5mGM/v-deo.html Матросская тишина / Sailor's silence - ua-cam.com/video/yA-seqo81oY/v-deo.html At least one guy comes from Rostov-on-Don, others are from Moscow.

Спасибо. Очень интересен посторонний взгляд на нашу музыку. Не знал многих из представленных в видео исполнителей. Здесь идёт речь про пост-панк, но кажется, что не хватает в списке Александра Башлачёва, которого, допустим, Артемий Троицкий считает величайшим исполнителем той эпохи, хоть он и причисляется к так называемому бард-року.
