Respect to Steven Seagal
for the courage to call himself Russian and wisdom of knowing what it really means.

Didier Marouani - "Space".
Before there was Techno, House and Trance there was "Space"! "Space" was very popular in the USSR late 70s - mid 80s. The following first track is a well done made remix reminiscent of Duft Punk, it sounds pretty good club, so does the rest but maybe old fashioned. The second videoclip is authentic.

John Barry & Lalo Schifrin.
Lalo Schifrin, great Jazz:
John Barry ( - 30 January 2011) : "james bond" is not as much a part of me as this: (UPT 03.02.2011) "Dances with Wolves", I saw the movie first at the age of 18 in English(!) in the USA(!); it didn't impress me too much, but kind of influenced my "individuality"

The Moonlight Sonata.
It is time to fulfil a need to explain to myself why my chances to be born were a few ;>. During the WW-II my second grandpa (hoping the attribute “second”’ be appropriate) worked at a train, that carried injured soldiers. They were bombed; he got a shell shock and metal rests over in his back. Not all of them were taken out. Some grew into flesh. ( Read more... ) -
The Darkest Day in the Last 465 Years.
Full moon, solstice and lunar eclipse combined... We witnessed millennium change, and now this. Got no idea what music could fit the news. The following would definitely not do the job...
I wish some day I tell, how small my chances were to be born at all. Both of my grandfathers fought against nazi-Germany, got injured. One suffered as a ( Read more... ) -
Girl of My Dreams.
„Angel Heart“ soundtrack (Trevor Jones, 1986) in the nomination “The Last Music 2010”.
One of the keenest, sickest ... mystery-detective stories and thrillers ever seen. // "Girl of My Dreams" - you’d not hear it in the movie as a whole, I found it on Y-Tube - used to be the favorite song of Johnny Favorite (a murder, one of his names). I like ( Read more... ) -
Vl. Nabokov: <
... Joice's "Ullises", Kafka's "Transformation", Bely's "Petersberg" and the first half of Proust's "In Search of Lost Time">>...
Kafka's "Transformation" is "oficially" known as "The Metamorphosis". -
ULVER - II.
A couple of soundtracks from them.
Such a plain but noble piano:
The last two were inspirited by a video that was not embedable. Those, who're interested I'd recommend to watch it in full following this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hySP2Hv2pEU . There's a cool pretty ( Read more... ) -
J.S. BACH 2nd.Lute Suite-Fuga & Jesu, meine Freude.
This is said to be one the most Bach's demending works on the guitar and I found it the most impressive performance on Y-Tube, despite some "dirty notes", what he called them.
( might be a bit slow (though, it's worth a note that in the age of Bach all music was considerably slower than today! )
