[Евгений-бсэ]

Какое приятное прослушивание электронной музыки из Литвы

[ДэнниУрсон]

Я служил в частях морской авиации недалеко от Риги в 1982- 1984 годах, и эстрадная музыка бывших республик советской Прибалтики полюбилась мне с тех пор и на всю жизнь. А диски группы " Арго" стали моим первым знакомством со стилем " эмбиент". Большое спасибо за возможность окунуться в прошлое!

[АннаЛукина-гл]

Мне 15 лет на тот момент, брату 22 года! Класс! Это ему нравилось, позже в эту тему, музыку подключилась! Теперь вооооообще не представляю жизнь без музыки!

[SergSpace]

Музыка детства. Когда-то подарили этот альбом на ДР. Я думал потерял навсегда - как давно это было. Спасибо, что выложили! Второй альбом тоже был интересный: "Арго" - Свет. 1981

[igogory]

Да, бы такой винил. Шикарное для тех лет прочтение идеи disco в СССР

[afinafin]

А4 просто какой-то ультрабас!))) Особенно когда слушаешь реально с винила.

[InflatablePlane]

Wow this whole album is just so chill and vibes nicely. Getting some Casiopea vibes too

[mykolas]

Прекрасный пресс Ленинградского завода! Правда, проигрыватель у вас с фоном и рокотом заметным, заметны искажения от неогибания недорогой конической иглой, но всё равно спасибо! Этот диск был изначально "нарезан в перегруз", и сложен для воспроизведения.

wow something good came out of russia besides war and bombs!
