learn_russianI've been searching online for Russian music CDs to buy, but I can't seem to find anything.
I like alternative and pop rock, but I'm open to all genres. Does anyone have any bands to suggest? I'd like to get the Russian language version of the albums, if possible.
Also, I'm having a hard time finding a website that I can order from. I even went to a few of the local music stores here and searched their international section, but walked away empty-handed.
Thanks in advance for your help. =)
Oh! PS. I guess I should've mentioned some of the bands I listen to.
Red House Painters, Smashing Pumpkins, NIN, the Cure, Hoobastank, Dresden Dolls, Muse, U2, Our Lady Peace, Marilyn Manson, No Doubt/Gwen Stefani, Garbage, Sarah Brightman, Loreena McKennitt, Louis XIV, Train, Queen, alot of 80s music, and so on. =)

Date: 2005-05-12 06:32 pm (UTC)The band is called "Ivan Kupala".
I can send you some mp3s of this band.

Date: 2005-05-12 06:17 am (UTC)I guess you'd better try something more contemporary, as Аквариум and Наутилус are fine and dandy, but most of their best work has been recorded around twenty years ago.
So probably you should go for Земфира and Мумий Тролль for starters. And you should definitely try Tequilajazzz - they're probably the best russian band at the moment. Найк Борзов - one of the more adventuruous singer-songwriters. If alternative hip-hop's your thing, try 2H Company, if you like your acoustic ballads and reggae-tinged stuff - it's 5nizza for you. There's a lot of good russian post-rock and electronic music too, mind.
Once again speaking of the 80s, it's obvious that you should try Кино. It's, like, a whole culture.
And don't forget the great Ленинград - although they've got a lot of crap songs, they also have many brilliant ones, so be careful.

For the bands you mentioned, which of their albums are your favorites?
no subject
Date: 2005-05-12 02:21 pm (UTC)Мумий Тролль - "Морская", "Меамуры"
Земфира - "Прости меня, моя любовь", "Четырнадцать недель тишины"
5nizza - eponymous
Tequilajazzz - "Целлулоид", "Выше осени"
Найк Борзов - "Закрыто", "Заноза"
Ленинград - "Пуля", "Бабаробот"
Кино - "Группа крови", "Звезда по имени Солнце", obviously
Yeah, and for Наутилус Помпилиус and Аквариум mentioned above it'd be natural to start with "Князь Тишины" and "Радио Африка" respectively.

Date: 2005-05-12 06:31 am (UTC)I wholeheartedly second the Tequilajazzz and Zemfira
DDT
Kino
Splin
Vladimir Vysotsky

Date: 2005-05-12 12:52 pm (UTC)can you recommend any of these bands' albums?
no subject
Date: 2005-05-12 01:01 pm (UTC)Tequilajazzz(www.tequilajazzz.spb.ru): Virus, Celluloid, Vishe Oseni
Mumiy Troll: Ikra, Morskaya
Leningrad(www.leningrad.spb.ru): try to find "the Best" compilation
no subject
Date: 2005-05-12 01:08 pm (UTC)Zemfira - reminds of Alanis Morissete, but Z arrangements are more interesting
Tequilajazzz - are rather unique, Smashing Pumpkins chose them to open their only Russian concert, a very solid bass section, very sharp sound...on their web site a lot of mp3...
Mumiy Troll closer to usual pop-rock
Leningrad plays ska-rock, rockabilly
no subject

Date: 2005-05-12 07:03 pm (UTC)some more maybe of interest
Date: 2005-05-26 09:41 am (UTC)Дельфин - dramatic and black, like cure in the early days.
Дети пикассо - they are said to be ethnic but download at their homepage and see that they have chosen a wide interpretation on the concept ethnic http://www.detipicasso.ru/hear.php
Найк Борзов - some downloads http://borzov.ru/mp3/index.php?radi_lubvi
Tequilajazzzzz - also have some downlaods at http://www.tequilajazzz.spb.ru/zzz.php?zzz=jazzz/stre
at least, the band Ва-банкъ has made some good records. today they are maybe a bit old and tierd but once the were the best punk-band. the cds так надо and the cd to victor pelevins tribute is just wonderfully wild!
