It’s interesting to think about whether the constant discussion of Russians and their surging influence in Electronica is a matter of perspective or reality. It seems to be the latest trend in musical journalism, to highlight an artist from the old Soviet Union, where so many unique synthesizers were manufactured in relative isolation from their western counterparts during the years of Gorbachev and Brezhnev eras. Regardless, there’s no denying that there’s some gorgeous stuff flowing out of Russia these days. Musicians and producers like Novel 23 lead that pack, but there are many right there with him. To get a feel for some of it, visit last.fm and type in ‘Russian’ for ‘Tags’. Or just click here for a Russkie Synth database. If you do decide to become a member of last.fm, friend me.

The Virb
The Wizard of Odd, Absurdly hyper-imaginative Dork, Lover of Humanity but Cautious of Individuals, Given to long and deep bouts of self-induced isolation (wonderfully short-circuited by the smile of my son), Melancholic thinker who wakes up to realize that joy is just about the best answer to anything. Accidentally ended up doing what I love after a 6 year battle with institutionalized higher learning that left me with a hefty student loan bill and a healthy skepticism for anything branded both religious and educational.
