“TV” – “Concert in Amsterdam» ** – intermedia.ru

2015 “Geometry»

There is a psychological test: heaps of letters from “patient” must isolate words, and the first three, which he “sees” it will mean the psychological state of man in depression certainly pull “pain”, “fear” or “darkness” and catch an optimist “happiness”, “good” and “democracy.” In general, twisting in the hands of another reissue “televizorovskih ‘deposits, I turned the drive and the first was struck by the inscription:” fed up. ” And it’s true, I thought. How Well You can listen to these differ little from each other in content and identical in design reissue? Even if you put a number in the red-black box sets from their roots, no picture will not develop. And in general, if you choose editions of “TV”, the interest in more wheels are 90s and 2000s. Among them they were unreleased due to disagreements with the publisher, as well as those that have remained almost unknown due to poor popularity. Meanwhile, the journalistic gift Michael Borzykina those records revealed in full, sometimes even with a bust, but his winged expressions like “gazprombaytera” and did not.

It is surprising, but the first published recording of the concert 1988 Year pretty clearly explains why this happened. At the end of the 80 “TV” he was quoted on a par with “Cinema”, “Alice” and “DDT”, and in some ways superior to them, and what – in the brave texts, for example. In the Soviet Union, and let the perestroika, with phrases such as “Your dad – a fascist” and “The fish rots from the head” of habit, trembled and waited for the police officer comes, turn off the switch and arrest the troublemaker. Therefore, the song “TV” for a long time treated as a forbidden fruit, though none of it is not prohibited. From this perspective, the concert in Amsterdam can be perceived as an act of pure art – there is a police officer on the scene just would not come. And what do we say this edition? Firstly, that in the wake of restructuring in Europe have gone some Russian rock musicians, and secondly, that they perceived it explicitly as exotic savages from the East. In Amsterdam, where Soviet rotting fish and the Nazi dad are not interesting, “TV” appears not overthrower basics and mediocre music group, is trying to play something like IDM , but not quite convincing melodically. Singing textured frontman seems not combined with music, most of the songs was a tire, a politically sensitive composition, if they listen in Amsterdam, or 27 years later, surprise except the fact that at one time produced a strong impression.

Unlike other heroes of the Leningrad rock club, “TV” then your success is not monetized. I believe that the reason for this was not only the uncompromising stance Borzykina, but its modest compositional possibilities. Perhaps if he really went to the journalists, that his papers would be more “likes” than the recent song “Forgive us, Ukraine”, which, apparently, was to become the subject of heated discussions, but went completely unnoticed
