ARTICLES RELATED TO Boris Grebenshchikov - Returning East | | | |  Boris Grebenshchikov - Returning East: Encyclopedia II - Boris Grebenshchikov - Returning EastDisillusioned in the possibility of exporting the Russian song-writing tradition to the West, BG returned to Russia and entered a phase of returning to his Russian roots. The year 1991 saw him come out with a "Russian album" (Russkiy al'bom), backed by an all-new, eponymous BG Band. The album featured a line-up of songs very "Russian" in both lyric and tune, and wasn't initially met with much public appreciation (in retrospect, however, it is considered by most critics one of his best records). BG was defiant, however, a ...

| | | | Boris Grebenshchikov - Returning East: Encyclopedia II - Boris Grebenshchikov - Worth noting BG has virtually always been able to skillfully combine his interests into a cohesive, if highly eclectic, whole. His lyrics can feature Hinduism, Russian Orthodoxy, and drug use in the same quatrain and not make one blink an eye. The ability has only grown stronger over the years. 1999's "Psi" switches from detailed references to samurai culture to mentions of a certain carpenter's son to data storage on hard driv ...

| | | | Boris Grebenshchikov - Returning East: Encyclopedia II - Boris Grebenshchikov - And back to basics As of 1997, however, the Russian nationalism seems to have run its course for BG. His 1997 album "Lilith" is still mostly Russian in lyrical theme, but is recorded, by way of a chance meeting, with his idol Dylan's one time backup band, The Band. In 1998 BG, who was by then settling into a cult classic status in Russia, played a one-man-and-his-guitar show of 70's and 80's songs to a small audience of fans in a San Francisc ...

| | | | Boris Grebenshchikov - Returning East: Encyclopedia II - Boris Grebenshchikov - Classical years BG's big break (or, in retrospect, his and the band's "watershed" moment), however, came in 1980, when Artem Troitzky (web site in Russian), the first public Russian rock critic and the enabling figure in many a Russian rock musician's carrier, invited Aquarium to perform at the Tbilisi Rock Festival.
The festival was a state-sanctioned attempt to channel the then-burgeoning Russian rock music movement into a controllable ideological vessel. If featured a laundered list of party-proof bland rock bands, but also Kraftwerk, whose ...

| | | | Boris Grebenshchikov - Returning East: Encyclopedia II - Boris Grebenshchikov - Early years The first six years of Aquarium's history lacked cohesion as Grebenshchikov and his various bandmates followed the Soviet equivalent of the hippy lifestyle: playing apartment jams, drinking the low-quality port wine available from the Soviet stores of the time, and intermittently travelling to remote gigs, even hitchhiking on rail freight cars.
Youthful philandering was heavily frowned upon by the Communist Party regime; decent recording facilities were out of reach because experiments in non-standardized self-expression were routinel ...
