Here is another pretty obscure gem from the ex Soviet Union, re-released independently on a very well done CD. Many thanks to heresy1975 once again for rip and upload!.

Info:
Most were formed in the first half of the 80's and were heavily influenced by bands like Rush or Deep Purple. Unfortunately they managed to release only this mini Lp on the state-based Melodiya Record label - the most active (well, the only one recognized and authorized by the government) music company during those years - and no other recordings are known. It's a pity as here you can really listen to a very sophisticated and classy heavy rock, much ahead than the average quality of russian band at that time.

The sound is very strong and powerful and there are traces of real heavy metal too. In my opinion best songs are "Na start", "Shapito" and "Ya zhivoj" but the average quality is really over the top if you're into this sort of aor/class rock.

Guitarist Aleksej Tumanov later joined Chernyij Kofe (Black Coffee), another semi heavy/semi rock band who left a bigger trace in russian rock scene.

"Most" means Bridge in russian language.

This rip comes from the very hard to find CD edition released a few years ago. You can find complete scans too.

If somebody is familiar with russian language, there is also an exhaustive biography/story of the band...it would be nice if somebody can translate it!. Enjoy!
