There are two new releases in our web shop. Notchnoi Prospekt's "MP3 Kollekciya", released by the Moscow label Moroz in November 2006, is a CD which collects 8 full-length albums from the group's early heyday (1985-1988) in a high-quality mp3 format. Half of these have been released only in their original cassette format ("Neznakomye lica", "Mikroby lyubvi", "Cveta pozolochennyh let" and "Kurorty Kavkaza"), while "Gumanitarnaya zhizn"/"Humanitarian Life", "Novye fiziki", "Demokratiya i disciplina" and "Kisloty"/"Asides" have been reissued in Russia on separate CD's.
"Xenoglossia 2" (Electroclub, Russia, 2006) by Alexei Borisov and KK. Null is the follow-up to the duo's "Xenoglossia" from 2003. While the first installment was a mail collaboration between Tokyo and Moscow, the new disc has been assembled from live recordings done on Xenoglossia's Russian tour in 2005.
