Music that left an impression.
When an album deserves a full listen, I include it along with a few key songs.

Started listening to music again
2025
Somewhere around here, algorithms killed music. I stopped listening to whole albums. Stopped knowing the artists. And then just stopped.

One of my favourite albums disappeared from every streaming service.
The Moscow show shortly after this album came out was absolutely fucking incredible.

Not my favourite, but definitely this band’s most impressive album.
If you thought Russia had no great musicians — here you go. You’ll be surprised.
Boyarsky and Mironov are hands down the best singing-and-acting duo.Gradsky is a madman.

I can’t say I’m drawn to shredders’ music — even these legendary guitarists.But their technique blew me away. For a while, it was an irresistible mountain to climb. Until I climbed it. 😎These pieces deserve respect — and a mention, at the very least.

My first encounter with classical music happened long ago, quite by accident.Liszt came from a VHS tape of Tom and Jerry cartoons. Scriabin was played in a school music lesson. And Chopin turned up on a compilation of vaguely classical music, somewhere between Morricone and Clayderman.Chopin is still one of my favourite composers.
These romantic ideas kept leading me astray for quite a while.
Funny as it sounds, melodies from old Sega and nes games had a big influence on my taste in music.
