Russian pop music

Dr. Z · 09-08-2006, 16:03

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)?

Interesting video

Never heard much of it myself, though do like the Greek music we hear on holiday

Decent pop that. Nice wabs too.

The only foreign stuff I tend to listen to is some of Nobuo Uematsu's stuff. But that's from Japan, so I wont mention it

I listen to a lot of stuff by Koji Kondo

Sorry, thats Japanese as well!

Not bad. Russian sounds like English played backwards though. Kinda weird

Imagine if she fell off that bike. Her pants would burn up instantly.

At the mo I listen to nothing but JPop, JRock, Anime OSTs and Jstuff

I like the mixture of guitars, with abit of dance, but it is abit eurovision for me!
Foreign music? Well the japanese ones I like the Polysics, Isao Tomita, but then thats japanese.

I like Yann Tiersen, and hes french (did the Amelie soundtrack)
I love Millencolin and they are swedish (seeing them at reading yay

)
Inflames are cool, and theyre from Sweden, or Norway I believe!
