Cosmos became closer. I am extremely satisfied with myself, I had one very long wished for a disc. Here he cherished the Zodiac, a mandatory program for electronics:
One of the pleasant surprises of this disc - bitrate 320, instead of the specified on the reverse 192. Once again confirmed: not believe your eyes! Collected Works of the Zodiac, I have found to be surprisingly easy. Kid-consultant immediately perked up when I asked him: "Oh, Zodiac" Well of course there is, how it can not be! " - And immediately fished out a disc from somewhere under the "Golden Ring", "Earthlings" and other scoops on the letter "Z".
Zodiac - Info
- In the late 70's. in the bowels of a student club of the Latvian State Conservatory named by J. Vitols composer and producer Janis Lusens Alexander Griva, under the influence of foreign music groups "Space", a rock group "Zodiac" is almost entirely focused on studio work. The Art of musicians Zodiac evoked great interest of listeners. The reasons for this, apparently, in the peculiarity of music-making, original compositions played by the band. Her style has attracted well-balanced sound, the prevalence of early melodic rhythm over-shock, noise, technical excellence and good taste.
"Zodiac" - Ensemble Studio: his creative vision, style, fully revealed only in the record which is a long, complex and painstaking work of all participants, especially the sound engineer. "Zodiac" performed by the electronic rock music, using polyphonic synthesizers and various special effects sounds. Broad and diverse performing opportunities allow the ensemble create compositions for a variety of topics. One of them - the theme of outer space. "Zodiac" turned to her repeatedly. And with a special interest - after a visit to the Star town, where the musicians performed with success, and personally communicated with the astronauts, experts working in this field. Meeting in Star City, Stories on flights in the space provided for the ensemble were a new creative impetus. And already the name compositions Janis Lusens indicate the nature of music, that is performed by the rock group "Zodiac." In 1982, the ensemble has successfully performed in Moscow in the variety program "Youth of the Baltic, which took place in the final Concert Festival "Moscow Stars", dedicated to the 60 anniversary of the USSR and the XIX Congress of the Komsomol. Completed and work on the film "Star palette" (Central studio of popular films), where "Zodiac" with their music like "comments" picture twice Hero of the Soviet Union, pilot-cosmonaut Alexei Leonov.
first album "Disco Alliance", recorded and released in 1980, became a best-selling album of all time in Latvia. He was a real bomb on the Soviet stage. Plates that were released in large quantities, sold out immediately in all corners of the Soviet Union. According to unofficial records, over 20 million vinyl LPs were sold in the Soviet Union, Japan, Austria, Finland and other countries.
Zodiac All albums are unique, not like one on the other, and represent compositions related to certain style and subject matter. The first album in the style of "disco" and includes both fast rhythmic melodies and lyrical slow. In the first two songs in the album "Disco Alliance" is inspired by the group Space, but they have identified a person of the group: the abundance of new space sounds of synthesizers. A characteristic feature of the album - passion of the group leader - Janis Lusens low registers. Rhythmic melodies of tracks sound, alternating between upper and lower octaves. Would like to mention a variety of rhythmic pattern in the bass guitar, which is the second track is actually is an independent solo instrument, blending with the keyboards.
If rapid compositions of great importance is attached to the melody and bass, the slow song "Mirage" is extremely rich in polyphony. Unlike many Western projects, Zodiac can not be found wanting in uniformity. Zodiac never was not imitator of himself. If the first album sounds the leitmotif of the disco theme, the second working group "Music in the Universe" (Music in Universe), Janis Lusens drawn to space. New tools, new rhythms, an emphasis on guitars, syncopated rhythm. And the same magnificent polyphony in the song "In light of Saturn."
Strong side of the creative team - the names of the songs are largely consistent with the content. In the traditional Soviet-style pop, synth-related hobby polyphony in the upper registers and drums, composed the theme "Provincial Disco". In turn, that in it we found the beauty of manipulation with the melody in different octaves. It is this element - one of the most difficult genre of instrumental disco suffering from monotony. Many believe that a rock band Zodiac is a brilliant example of the genius of creativity, imagination and ingenuity.
Tribute to the recognition of the glorious electronic pioneers I immediately put it on its own. Listen to my cover version of the song "Rock on Ice". Bargain, I post processed remix Masha and the Bear "Mary". That I was inspired by Punjabi MC, he is also among my recent acquisitions.

Olya believed that the Zodiac, but it was the thing we have not found them. It seems to me that Mozart (something there "bass drum ")... Who is really?
