VA - 'Red Square' CD (KultFront)
A simple task was given to the 16 musicians on this epic compilation - to try to express their attitude to revolution in general and to National-Bolshevism in particular. Maliciously, archly, pathetically, cosmically, intelligently - it all went differently. That's why the compilation contains very stylistically diverse, but qualitatively rich and rather difficult for the one-time listening industrial mass. Features all-exclusive tracks from revered Russian artists such as: Linija Mass, Cisfinitum, Kryptogen Rundfunk, Rupor Udara, Cloning Experiment Failure, Majdanek Waltz, Noises Of Russia, Comforter etc. Comes in a nice red wallet with inserts. Limited to 500 hand-numbered copies.
