Anyway, I've posted a direct link to the album in my first post so if anybody would like to download could use this link — The Air Cats Band - Instrumental surf-rock music from Russia Top

Badger Joined: Nov 16, 2013 Posts: 4537 Wisconsin	Posted on Jun 23 2016 03:47 PM I've been listening to their album Invisible Air Cats for awhile now (it's also part of a playlist that includes some Mustangs, Eldanka, Ryders, etc.) and wondered: What's Alexey and the band doing? Went to their site and didn't see this before, their first studio album that apparently pre-dates Invisible Air Cats, titled "Halfway to Marseille" - great sound to it. Alexey, TWO very solid albums! You guys need to start planning NOW to gig your way down to Livorno to the Surfer Joe Festival next year. Was this one also recorded mostly analog with your Studer tape & the setup you posted about previously? — Wes SoCal ex-pat with a snow shovel DISCLAIMER: The above is opinion/suggestion only & should not be used for mission planning/navigation, tweaking of instruments, beverage selection, or wardrobe choices.

kas Joined: Feb 24, 2016 Posts: 44 St. Petersburg	Posted on Jun 29 2016 07:00 AM Thank you very much, guys! Badger , we are really really want to play at Surfer Joe someday, this would be a great step forward for the band. Yes, the first album "Halfway to Marseille" was also recorded at the same studio using the Studer tape recorder. As for the news, rcently we played a big 2hrs (pretty long) gig at the local retro bar, where we were playing all our current material including some very new tunes, check it out (not all 2 hours, of course ) We are also planning to record a professional multi cam video of our newest tune this summer. — The Air Cats Band - Instrumental surf-rock music from Russia Last edited: Jun 29, 2016 07:24:52 Top

Even I didn't had enough patience to do that Even dancing humans having a good time Yes, it could look a bit weird but there is a quite common practice at Russian clubs/bars, if you are lucky, sometimes some really pretty girls starts to dance so you could combine the audio stream with the good visual sequence — The Air Cats Band - Instrumental surf-rock music from Russia Top

Unfortunately more common outside the US. Has been mentioned before, most recently I think by Norm (Boss Fink) and bigtikidude at Surfer Joe during NSSR interview, this difference in enjoyment of the music. Too common in US for people just to sit there & stare at the guitar player's hands instead of finding the beat & letting the music take hold.

Some of the scenery reminds me of the countryside outside Klin. The song is lovely and melancholy. — This is Noel. Reverb's at maximum an' I'm givin' 'er all she's got. Top

Yes, there is not much action, the video just brings the mood and putting the viewer in reflexion Some of the scenery reminds me of the countryside outside Klin. I'm pleased to know that someone from the country far away knows the name of the small Russian town like Klin! I guess the video was filmed somewhere near the St. Petersburg but actually this is quite typical Russian country scene. — The Air Cats Band - Instrumental surf-rock music from Russia Top

I guess the video was filmed somewhere near the St. Petersburg but actually this is quite typical Russian country scene. We saw the beautiful summer home (?) of Tchaikovsky while we were there. They even have a McDonalds, which serves potatoes with sour cream. Absolutely love the food in real Russian restaurants! We never got as far as St. Petersburg, but the countryside villages are lovely. We were there for five weeks, but spent most of our time in Moscow. This was in 2000. — This is Noel.
