While not being particularly outstanding, this album is an interesting example of a release containing some elements of classic percussion industrial (especially in the track #4) that was officially released on vinyl in the USSR (by Melodia, 5800 copies). For the most part, however, it's just instrumental ambient / minimal synth. The composer, Igor Chernyavsky, was living in Poland since 1983, where he played in a band called Aya RL and also recorded some electronic music mostly for radio & movie soundtracks. This is his first solo work, recorded in Warsaw in 1988. The release notes describe it as a mix between "so-called post-industrial rock", "Russian urban romance songs" and the music of Central Asia, but the music itself is not as complex as you might think after reading such a description.
