Soviet Soviet Flac (tracks) 24 Bit

Groovier side of the Iron Curtain is uncovered via the 11-track compilation out on 12" vinyl, CD and digitally. First of its kind for Funk Embassy Records, the compilers have dug the archives of Estonian Radio for funk, soul-jazz, disco, instrumentals, library music and covers. Influences from West made it to Soviet Estrada musicians on one hand; to rock, jazz, folk and fusion artists on the other. Recorded between 1974-1988, this is the sound of Estonian artists as heard at music halls, stadiums, radio, TV shows and cafeterias.

Compiled from ultra-rare dead stock pressed at a Soviet-era vinyl plant in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, this first-of-its-kind fully licensed album features a supreme selection of Uzbek disco, Tajik electronic folk, Uyghur guitar licks, Crimean Tatar jazz, Korean brass, and genre-defying styles from Soviet Central Asia.

Two pieces that I played recently. The first piece has more for the sequencer fans, and the second piece provides forty golden moments of space exploration for reading, relaxing, or sleeping. This release comes after a period of sound design (i.e. sitting and playing with the instruments and enjoying the sounds that emerged) and, as ever, I remembered to press record during that process. There's a lot more of it, but maybe that's for another time.
