Russian pop music

A little while ago while messing about on a shortwave radio looking for clandestine Numbers Stations I tripped over an interesting radio station "The Voice of Russia". Of course, I didnt understand a damn word of it so I couldnt get any tracks for myself but the music was damn good IMO.

Last weekend I met up with Chenko (from ocuk/IRC) and he had a few CDs by eastern bloc artists. I love this stuff

The only artist name I could remember was "Virgin" which makes searching the internet VERY "tricky" indeed, but google video came up trumps with this:

I had heard the music before I saw the videos, so I had no idea what to expect but it would seem like the videos are fairly watchable

Anyone else into music from strange lands (other than Japan)?
