New Releases. Light Spring '02
Клубные российские · 06.05.2002
The presentation of the new compilation will take place on May 7 at the literary corner on the second floor of the "Pirogi na Pyatnitskaya" cafe. The presentation will be held in the ambiance of a bookstore and the atmosphere of the early 80s and will resemble a light dissident gathering. In the evening, besides musicians whose tracks are included in "Light Spring '02", poet Andrei VOZNESENSKY will be present, who will tell those gathered about the history of the literary almanac "Metropol" and about his participation in the creation of the scandalous project. Oleg NESTEROV will also speak, discussing the similarities between the "Legkie" collections and this almanac.
"I looked at what I do as the compiler of these light compilations in a different way," says Oleg NESTEROV, "and realized that I act as the editor of a certain almanac, in this case, a musical one. Moreover, several times I received comments or compliments stating that LEGKIE is a 'dissident' label. Not in the sense that our music is somehow seditious or speaks out against the foundations of the state, but in terms of shaking the so-called foundations of the format. Just when everything seems settled and formed on the radio, television, and the ways of promoting music have been defined. Something emerges that disrupts the established musical order. And through all this, this something is incredibly tempting, it is pleasant to listen to. A majority of key figures in the media market regularly consume our compilations – they are hooked. And just like party workers once secretly read Xerox copies of "Doctor Zhivago" and other banned literature, in the same way, modern musical nomenclature prefers to listen to light compilations in solitude."
