  Classic Kooperativ, two in one. No comments (none necessary).
• Rada i Ternovnik (2005) -- "Zhenitba" CD URCD027 ($12.99)
• Kooperativ Nishtyak (2003) -- "Deep Black" CD URCD026 ($12.99)
  A brand new inimitable Kooperativ Nishtyak record -- this time, it's meditative, moody and eerily quiet. Artwork by Polee, made by special request.
• Chernyj Lukich (1987) -- "Live at Egor's" CD URCD025 ($12.99)
  A historic record. Vadim "Chernyj Lukich" Kuzmin performing at Egor Letov's flat, with back vocals by Yanka Dyagileva and friends. The year is 1987. The only instrument is acoustic guitar. Includes a short bonus: live recording from 1994.
• Teacher of Botany (1997) -- "From Dawn till Dawn" CD URCD024 ($12.99)
  The authors classify themselves as "skin-reggae". Sounds weird? -- well, this is Russia, and everywhere is war. They say that Marcus Garvey died as a Russian Orthodox. Ten years ago "Komitet Okhrany Tepla" flared briefly in the westernmost Russian city of Kaliningrad, formerly known as Konigsberg. Now comes the Teacher of Botany, from the banks of the Volga. Learn while you may.
• Nord'n'Commander (2002) -- "Sapienti Sat" CD URCD023 ($12.99)
  The arrangements are extremely minimal, and the lyrics are extremely powerful esoteric conjurations (some are in English and German). We do mean extremely. It caused physical sickness in our sound producer. We just couldn't give such a wonderful catalog number to anything less than extreme. You have been warned.
• Teplaya Trassa (1991) -- "Down and to the left" CD URCD022 ($12.99)
  Finally! -- the first CD release by the famous band from Barnaul. Proudly presenting the second wave of Siberian punk. This CD contains "Down and to the left", the first album by Teplaya Trassa recorded back in 1991, and a bonus album "This World", dating from 1993 (minus three tracks).
• Rada i Ternovnik (2003) -- "All you love is simple" CD URCD021 ($12.99)
• Kooperativ Nishtyak (2002) -- "Hooves and Horns" CD URCD020 ($12.99)
  A live recording by the legendary Kooperativ Nishtyak; made in Tyumen in January 2002. A show as unexpected as it is impressive and rare. Up to 8 musicians onstage, masterfully directed by the creative genius (and iron will) of the Count A.A.A.
• Alexandre Dugin (1996-7) -- "Finis Mundi" MP3 ($12.99)
  12 radio programs by the leading Russia avant-garde philosopher and political maverick, on topics from Count Leautreamon to Nikolai Klyuev, to Jean Thiriart of Young Europe, to Baron Ungern-Sternberg the Mongolian dictator, reputedly the Avatar of War. The programs, one-hour long each, were running weekly in the Fall 1996/Spring 1997 and eventually banned as being much too intelligent and criminally lacking in boredom -- thus definitely not politically correct. In Russian, with some Edit Piaf as background noise.
• Rada i Ternovnik (2002) -- "Salamandra" CD URCD019 ($12.99)
• Kooperativ Nishtyak (2001) -- "In the memory of Dik" CD URCD018 ($12.99)
  One of the most intriguing records by the Russia's most imaginative band. Touches of gothic and psychodelic throughout this athmospheric piece, full of dark perversions and deviant politics. The record is completely legendary by now. It was originally released on tape in 1996, by Kolokol; then it was completely remixed in 2001. This double CD includes both versions: 1996 and 2001.
• Kooperativ Nishtyak (2001) -- "Routine Cynicism" CD URCD017 ($12.99)
• Rada i Ternovnik (2001) -- "The Book of the Cruelty of Women" CD URCD016 ($12.99)

• Opizdenevshie (1993) -- "Psychedelia Tomorrow" CD URCD014 ($12.99)

• Lunophobia (2001) -- "Black Sun" CD-R ($12.99)
• Instrukciya Pi Vyzhivaniyu (Survival Instructions) -- "Smertnoe", CD URCD 006 ($12.99)
  
  Instrukciya po Vyzhivaniyu is one of those unique bands who break the ground later claimed by the entire generation. IPV were initially a punk anarchist outfit, but soon transformed to a punk Russian Orthodox and virulently nationalist band; at the same time, the music, not losing the punk urgency, become more and more dark and distorted. The album "Smertnoe" highlights this transition with the fast, guitar-driven arrangements, and the darkest lyrics in the whole history of Russian rock.
• Hans Zivers -- "Krovavyj Navet" (Blood Libel) CD URCD 007 ($12.99)
  
  An album written in 1981-84, and recorded in 1986 in horrible Soviet conditions, using lo-fi tape recorder, and virtually unknown since then. The author was close to the circle of Golovin and Mamleev, and the album bears a quality of all-permeating madness, well known to anyone who read Mamleev. The only instrument used throughout is an acoustic guitar, which adds an underground credibility to the madness. Overall, one of the best albums of 1980-kh. Superb artwork, as well.
• Kooperativ Nishtyak -- "25 Dzhonov Lennonov" CD URCD03 ($12.99)
  
  Kooperativ Nishtyak (Tyumen) made their reputation as the most diverse and prolific Russian punk and post-punk band; after almost 15 years in music, they have no rivals in quality and quantity of released records, with styles ranging from gothic to Oi! to easy listening. The only constant is the staunch lack of political correctness, which why the band is universally blacklisted and has no distribution to speak of. In "25 Dzhonov Lennonov", Kooperativ shows the mellower side of its talent, with a set which showcases inspired songwriting over a raw lo-fi easy-listening backdrop.
• "Instrukciya po Oborone" CD URCD05 ($12.99)
  
  A bootleg-quality and extremely rare recording of Russia's one and only punk messiah Egor Letov (Grazhdanskaya Oborona) meeting "Instrukciya po Vyzhivaniyu", another mega-charismatic band. A raw and energetic recording of a jam, performed clandestinely in workers' dormitory in Tyumen in 1987. A perfect gift for those who consider even the staunchiest Western punk band a sell-out. Here you can have a REAL underground, buddy. Not recommended for the weak of spirit.
• Rada i Ternovnik -- "Russian Epos" CD URCD04 ($12.99)
  
  The first concert release of the Moscow most sorrowful and erotic voice, "Russian Epos" picks where the previous album left to capture the band's excellent live work.
• Rada i Ternovnik -- "My Love My Sorrow" CD URCD01 ($12.99)
  
  A third CD of Moscow best indie band (1999). The voice of Rada is just as beautiful as ever, and the songs are just as thrilling -- now against a campy computer background. 43 minutes of music
• Rada i Ternovnik -- "Sounds of Sorrow" CD (a rare edition) AM080 ($19.99)
  
  The second CD of Rada i Ternovnik (1995), described (erroneously) as the most depressing gothic record of 1990-ies. This is no rock-n-roll, dude. Impressive abilities of beautiful female vocalist are perfectly matched by the neo-psychodelic musicianship of her band.
• 17 CDs by Grazhdanskaya Oborona and related bands ($299.99)
  A deluxe limited edition, put out by HOR and Moroz records -- an almost complete edition of Grazhdanskaya Oborona and Yanka, plus one album by Kommunism. All 17 published with original artwork and a lavishly printed booklet, replete with hard-to-get photos, lyrics and reproductions from Gr.Ob archive. An essential item for anyone interested in Russia, punk, Universe and everything else.
• Rada -- "Somewhere, There Were Fairy-tales" (CD-R URCD002, $12.99)
  
  Acoustic performance of Rada -- 26 songs by the Moscow's most imaginative singer-songwiter (without her band). Recommended even if you loathe the very idea of singer-songwritership.
• Soprotivlenie -- "Die Widerstandsbewegung" URMC01 (tape)
  First release by a young band from Zagorsk, Moscow region. Punk-rock, Red Laughter, garage psychedelia.
• Karl Fisher Band -- "Fish Blood" URMC02 (tape)

       Beherit is nice
       So are the Girls of Spice
       Satan sacrifice
  

  A traditional all-girl band with a non-traditional sexual orientation. All the songs are about Love. You wouldn't want to meet the One they love, though. Or would you? Proudly presented and meticulously tutored by Kooperativ Nishtyak.

UR-REALIST music is extremely non-commercial, and we don't expect to make money from these tapes and CDs. We take pleasure in offering you these rare recordings of heavenly music, that's all. However, UR-REALIST music might be bad for you -- it's addictive and dangerous for your psyche. You have been warned.

UR-REALIST music was variously described as "dark psychodelic", "garage gothic" or "this weird Russian shit". The featured artists -- Rada i Ternovnik, Chorny Lukich, Kooperadiv Nishtyak -- are first caliber stars of Russian underground scene, who play experimental, aggressive and uncompromising indie music. Due to the sorry state of Russian independent recording business, they've got almost no distribution, in Russia as well as abroad. We hope to alleviate this situation a bit with this credit card shit.

Now you may go to Multicards.
