Igla (1988)

This '88 Soviet Movie is in fact not very interesting, its only point is the main actor is Victor Tsoi and this makes this movie important, worth seeing.

For those who do not know him: He is one of the pioneers of Russian Rock with his group Kino during Perestroika years. You can watch his song "A star called sun"
I personally did not like his songs in the movie very much, but for some reasons I understand that Russians love him.


The wall above, people who know Moscow will easily recognize, is on Arbat Street, it is a memorial site for Victor Tsoi who died on a car accident at the age of 28.

I found the movie here.

edit:in the meantime I liked this Kino song very much : ЗВЕЗДА ПО ИМЕНИ СОЛНЦЕ

Some Russian Songs

Other than Инфинити, there are several very good Russian pop songs, I would like to share some of them with you.
ВИНТАЖ is a very good group, here are some songs of the group that I like.

• От Москвы до Нью-Йорка
• Ева
• Плохая девочка
• Мама Мия

I came into this X-Mode & DJ Nil in my 2005 trip to Moscow, their album is for sale on amazon.com but unfortunately their music videos are not widely available here is one of my favorites La Peregrinacion. I also love their song Leto!.

Turkish music listeners will immediately recognize this song Капкан from group Пропаганда . For those who insist not to recognize here is the Turkish video.

Beautiful Russian Madonna Valeriya Perfilova has many lovely songs, here is only one sample:
Капелькою .



AND last but not the list, this great song...Whenever I went to a club/bar in Moscow this song was played at least once! I always wondered what is was but i could not find out since i could not understand a word:) Now I accidentally came across this song and happily know what it is :
"Музыка нас связала" from the Group Мираж.It is very good, give it a chance i am sure you will like.

Note: I have written about Alla Pugacheva already in a previous post so i don't repeat one more time here.

Инфинити(Infiniti)

I love Инфинити !!!.

This must be my first sentence of a topic on Инфинити, because I have their both albums "Где ты" and Я так хочу(2010) and they are great!. They are both excellent, all the songs, yes all songs with no exception are great in these albums.


Both albums are very very good.Try to find them both.

The official site of Инфинити is http://www.infiniti-music.ru/ and you can listen them on http://infinity.pdj.ru/.

Alla Pugacheva

I found two of her albums on the net.One is titled Best of Alla Pugacheva (2006) but i did not find such an album on any sources:) And the other is even worse, its name is only alla so I don't know which albums i am talking about but i like two albums of her :)

I like Million Roz,Primadonna,Arlekino,Madam Broshkina ...

Metallica in Istanbul!

On 27th of July Istanbul hosted a fantastic concert, Metallica. The starting time was announced as 21:00 and the concert started around 21:30.Till the end of the concert at 23:30 they did not even give a single break! They got on the stage started rocking people one song after another till the end.

All the songs were choosen from the good old Metallica albums, Kill 'Em All,Ride The Lightning, Master of Puppets, Justice For All and The Black Album. Not a single song was present from those Load&Reload crap,even St.Anger was absent.I think that made the concert such good.The audience loved the selection and contributed all songs with no exception.
I guess this concert is the very best answer to the comments regarding their age and performance.


Ulrich said that Istanbul treated Metallica very well and they promise to come back again.
After the concert I read many music journalists commenting this one as the best concert Istanbul has ever seen.

The BEST! Music Album Ever!!

Metallica ...And Justice For All

Today I realized that I've been listening to this album for 14 years! (since 1992) and I still love it . When I bought this album I was at 2nd year of my secondary school education. I keep listening it over and over and never get bored. I can not even choose which song is the best. Every single song is this great album is a masterpiece.

The album is definitely number 1 in my list of Best Metal Albums of 90's

You should definetely buy this album.Here is the amazon.com link. For Turkish fans here is the Ideefixe link.
