Did anyone catch the ITV proggy last night about the Russian rock
band Aquarium?, it seems they were allowed out of Russia to go to
the U.S, they teamed up with Dave Stewart from the Eurythmics, and
did a concert tour of the USSR, they are also recording an album
due for release next month.
Boy, they were GOOD!, Dave Stewarts guitar is pretty mean, and the
lead singer (Russian) manages to sing in acceptable English, no
real accent there. The band with the execpetion of Dave are all
Russian, nice to see the co-operation, could this be the start of
something, lets hope so!

I pretty much hate when this happens. I guess it's good that Russian bands get to release albums in the States/England...but do they have to go with a name producer and sing in English???? How about letting them do their thing with a Russian producer (or at least someone not trying to 'change' their sound) in a decent studio? Let them be true to themselves. I'm waiting for Russian bands who sing in Russian. -Scott | |||||

Apparently, Scott, there's thousands of bands who sing in Russian
- you just got to go to Russia to hear 'em, though....... 8^)
In the small part of the programme that I saw, I got the feeling
that the producers, while not actually at odds with Boris, couldn't
get the kind of sound he wanted. It seemed to me that he wanted
a far more 'natural' sound than that which Dave and the others were
getting for him. I think the word for their techniques could be
'overproduction'.
