Alexander Bashlachev ( Александр Башлачёв )

Салватор Писиот · 09-09-2009, 04:57 PM

Alright, so...

I've been interested in hearing some stuff by Alexander Bashlachev. I found ONE album on eMusic, but I'm not even sure if it's official. I downloaded it and enjoy it very much, and I want more!

I can't read Russian so navigating Bashlachev.org or attempting to buy them from somewhere is rather impossible. Has anyone else listened to/found any of his stuff?

What did you think?

It's probably a late reply.
I can tell you that in his life Bashlachev did not really record "official" albums because him and likes of him were "unofficially" banned from releasing material.
His works circulated mostly on a hand made tapes, which were a lot of times just a collection of songs, taken from various of his appearances.

If you go t-file "."ru (remove quotes) and search for the string "Александр Башлачёв" it should give you some torrents.
Unfortunately, I doubt that it is possible to see his poems translated into English. It's very intimately related to language specifics. But the way he is performing gives a good idea of the feeling.
