SOUNDS OF MU-ROUGH SUNSET-1995-FIRST PRESS RUSSIA-MAMONOV-OM04. A very rare original of the cult album. Rough sunset is the fifth Studio album under the banner "Sounds of Mu" and the first recorded in the new line-up. The second line-up of the band grew out of the project of Peter Mamonov with his half-brother Alexey Bortnichuk, which was to be the next step in his musical development. Subsequently, the Duo became a Quartet, and the newly formed group needed a name. Mamonov considered it necessary to change the name from the original, "Mamonov and Alexey", to the already used"sounds of Mu". The application of the old name of the group to the new line-up caused discontent among the members of the former "collective", which led to accusations against Mamonov and the formation of the collective "echoes of Mu". In addition to Mamonov and Bortnichuk, the new line-up included bassist Yevgeny Kazantsev and drummer Andrey Nadolsky. Mamonov himself sought to create a wall of sound on the album, changing the sound in favor of guitar parts. This allowed him to record his old songs, which could not be recorded with the canonical composition of "Sounds".  ...more
