Russia, 1998, art pop / progressive pop / synthpop
Сергей Курёхин [Sergey Kuryokhin] – Детский альбом [Children’s Album]: Child-faerie vocals prevalent here that became the standard in certain kinds of pop music a decade later, tractors in synthpop Russian beauty diva arias, buzzing flies amid the music, reminding me that fecundity springs from rot, screeches and hoots interlude in a crazy Russian “Bird Is the Word” rendition. Here’s a live version of the last track, fittingly titled “Last Waltz”. What a strange post-mortem release!
