| U.: I was so happy with "VP", that for some time needed no new songs. At that time Andrey Tropillo, one of the famous sound masters (he'd recorded plenty of Soviet underground bands and bootlegged many LPs of the Western rock classics for the eager Soviet listeners), suggested that we should try his new studio in Petersburg, with reel-to-reel equipment. It would be foolish to miss the chance, so we just came there and recorded a live studio, with minimum overdubs, remaking songs from "The CD" and our first '97 cassette, "Here We Are, Mom". |
