Soviet Surfectant

Valery Prikazchikov: Electron & New Electron Quartets - Surf (1965-1970)



After another long and inexcusable lapse in activity:
Here's another Soviet gem of instrumental easy listening, re-presented on this Melodya compilation as "Surf".
I suspect you will agree that the waves could not have been very large on the Black Sea in the 1960s...

[poorly] translated from liner notes:
In 1963, Radio Yunost announced a new young group - quartet Electron. "We decided to call our ensemble so, - wrote the head of "Electron" Valery Prikazchikov - not only because it is based on electric tools. We want to make sure that the execution is modern. Thus I thought the name "Electron" expressed our desire." Today Electron - a popular variety of ensembles, has performed successfully in many cities of the country with programmes and recitals with famous artists of pop. True, its composition has changed over the years, hence the different name - "The new electron." The artistic director - still Valery Prikazchikov (electric guitar), the other members: - B. Gerkulenko (rhythm guitar), Vladimir Pankratov (drums), Vladimir Zaikin (bass guitar). The main repertoire of the New electron: "- pop - dance music, with a vivid and clear rhythm and original instrumentation. So hear "The New Electron" - performing dance pieces by Soviet & foreign composers with arrangements by Valery Prikazchikova. (1969)

As with previous Soviet posts, I have taken care to retain the original cyrillic track tags.
If you want English translations, run them through Google Language Tools - as I did with the tracklist above...
Enjoy!
