This compilation is a tribute to the legend of contemporary Russian "hard-boiled" cinema - Alexey Balabanov (25 February 1959 – 18 May 2013). It was compiled a few days ago at 2ch.hk's /mu/ by several bedroom industrial/noise/ambient musicians. While it isn't easy listening by any means, and it probably won't gather much interest outside of /mu/, I do think this sort of music suits Balabanov's movies better than the more mainstream Russian rock that he typically used in OSTs (although I should mention that I was a big fan of Balabanov's "Brother 2" OST when I was a teenager...)
