  Hi, my dear friends!


  This paper - my humble opinion about the current
sotoyanii Affairs at Spectrum music scene.

  As we know, today is the end of 1998
[Diver: article was written in December 1998go] and
the scene appears more and more newcomers.
The level of the music had to grow up, but alas ...
Why not? Many of our sceners not
care about the level of their programs. In the ex-USSR
only a few groups that really
well are working on design. I was lucky - I live
at the junction of two scenes: East and West and to
same nationality I am Russian, so I understand
Russian psychology very well. Well so was I
stopped? I want to say that the majority of
Spectrum Mouzon SHIT. Russian love
pop and they're trying to write on the same Spectrum
most pop music. Only some well-known
elite groups do not. And they're right.
Speccy is stsenovaya machine, and therefore must be
stsenovy spirit. For example, I've never heard of
demos on the Amiga and PC so that write pop
Russian musicians. And I want to say that before
the music was much steeper. I remember the 1995th and
1992nd years, the then music was just
perfect for its time, but today
the end of the 1998go and the level had increased. But
NO! He has even worsened. Many releases, there is
today from different parts of ex-USSR, but the music in them
neslushaema voopsche! Even Imp said that many
tracks are just shit. Now almost everyone believes
a musician, but many of them are even good
sence of music beauty. For example Enlight'96 - on
there was very little crappy Mouzon. Large
Most of them were good for 1996 she has. On
Enlight'97 things were already 50/50 (shit / nice). But
When I listen to music with FunTop'98 ... I was
just flabbergasted. What is the SHIT! Only 3 or 4
good track. The rest - so yourself, or fullshit.
What a lamer pritashit guessed at the party tupeyshy
track, remember remix Dune (even those notes are not), or
Natalie remix ("The Wind blew from the sea"). Oh God, what
shit. And what can we do? I tried to compose
something truly original - it was
"RAIN", but people did not like it because it
differed from other Mouzon. And I was on the
last place. Well, first place was given
fantopovskomu king of pop - EA Soft. I'm not saying
that his track is absolutely horrible, but simply there is no
absolutely nothing new. This is not stsenovy track,
just like the Russian pop music. People do not like
different from others. When I compare the tracks of
ex-USSR and Western tracks (by Agent-X, Baze/3SC,
LA Esq/Extacy3/Raw Arse, etc.) I see great
difference between them. Western tracks - it stsenovye
tracks.

  All we know now that any Russian
village has its own electronic newspaper, or even
magazine. Soundtracks in them just uzhastny. I do not know
no Russian-language magazine that
would satisfy me on the part of the music. ZX Format
was # 1 in the ex-USSR. Yes, I agree that it is cool, but
music ... Only # 6 was a bit steep Music
because she wrote Jaan. I'm not saying that all
music written in the former USSR, shit. Of course
There are cool musicians. The first was a steep Imp.
