Through Bloom-blades
In a grave grove
Lay on the bones
Feel deep with the leaves
Linger in meadows and spring-plains
Through bloom-blades the dead utter
Hear the bones collide
Feel when night runs through into deeper shadows
Only flowers this july
Wait here in summer's breath

Romowe Rikoito (Russia)

Narcissism, 1996

"Romowe Rikoito is a band of Dark Folk in the most neoclassical slope in the genre, not in vain they have flute, piano, violin and violonchelo accompanying to the traditional acoustic guitars and voices. However, there is not percussion of any type like it is frequent in bands of the genre of more martial character. There is not electronic programming, with the exception of some extracted sounds of field, of birds in the forest or similar things, so one cannot speak that there is an electronic section or of programming in the music, it is purely acoustic. The tendency of the songs is very bucolic, with an air of love toward the forest and the nature, it is not a cheerful music, rather parsimonious and caressing, incites more to the view than to the dance, it is reflexive."

Forseti (Germany)

They were stupid, blind,
Not even our kind.
A Guest and a Loss and a Ghost
A Villain thanks the most.
Better an end with fear
Than a fear without end.
This time the victim is desire
Here in Black Jena.

Boris Grebenshikov & Aquarium (Russia)

"There is hardly a Russian in the world that hasn’t heard of the legendary underground rock band Aquarium and its leader Boris Grebenshikov. The 45-year-old singer-songwriter has released nearly 70 original albums over the course of his 26-year career.

During the 70’s and 80’s Aquarium created an entirely unique musical and social aesthetic. Influenced by a variety of music styles and cultures, the group’s sound nevertheless remained recognizable - whether performing quiet love ballads, light dancing reggae or powerful rock-n-roll anthems.

Grebenshikov is also no stranger outside Russia. His albums were recorded and released throughout Europe, and North America, and he is widely known and respected among top Western musicians. In 1989, Grebenshikov toured the West, releasing an English-language album, “Radio Silence” which featured appearances by Eurythmics’ Dave Stewart and Annie Lennox, the Pretenders’ Chrissie Hynde, Bananrama’s Siobhan Fahley and percussionists Ray Cooper and Olle Romo.

In the early 90’s, Grebenshikov returned to his roots forging a sound deeply inspired by Russian folk culture, and employing traditional instrumentation. His landmark “Russian Album” (1991) is considered by many to have changed the definition of Russian rock’n’roll music forever.

But he didn’t stop there. Having cultivated his “traditional” sound through several masterly albums, in 1997 Grebenshikov made another abrupt stylistic departure. While his music still retains something of the Russian folk sensibility, it has definitely returned to it’s rock’n’roll roots." - last.fm
