Re: Here´s a clip from my band...
It´s called Arkhangelsk, and is meant to give the impressions I had the first time I landed there in late November. It was dark and ice cold and a thin layer of snow was blowing over the airport. I hopped in a taxi, a black smokey Volga from the early 70s, and it drove through an area of huge and dark industry ruins; the remaining parts of a collapsed and outmoded industrial society.
The picture for the tune is the highest wood tower ever, which was built in Arkhangelsk by a criminal construction director before he went to jail some years ago. It was recently taken down by the authorities, because it was not stable and a threat for the neighbouring houses and people in general passing by. I had some persons from Arkhangelsk to listen to the tune, and one said: "Yes, you have perfectly catched the idea of how it is to live in Arkhangelsk". Don´t know about that, though. I believe it´s worse.
