   Saw these a few days ago and was thinking about submitting it to the queue.

   When I saw this > http://media.englishrussia.com/soviet_discs/1_008.jpg
   I instantly thought of Judas Priest's Defenders of Faith.

   And Zodiac's Disco Alliance ?! I have a friend who has this vinyl. Early techno synthy sound. But the cover looks a little like something I may have seen Daft Punk do.

   I instantly thought of the Russian rocker guy Olaf in Kevin Smith's Clerks. "Olaf: Berzerker!"

   Russian language is very nice to sing.
   BTW Russians can singing and crying.

   Dumb of me, I always thougth there was no "western" style pop music in the Soviet Union.

    It seems like most Russian and East European pop culture is a rip off of American music, but much lamer and 10 years behind
