Tracklist:
01. Gennady Belov / Hello Mama (How_Beezar Sketch)
Sketch based on the short cosmic prelude to the good song about a mama (composer D. Tukhmanov).
02. Eolika / I Forgot Your Face (How_Beezar Extended Re-Edit)
Unforgettable song: true dark-disco monument. Also responds to the tag “Raimond Pauls, give us house!” — slogan since the era of first Russian raves (composer R. Pauls, 1980).
03. Verasy / Snowman (How_Beezar Instrumental Re-Edit)
Delicate funky-groove track with a cosmic flavor (1979).
04. Krasny Maki / Discs Are Circling (How_Beezar Re-Edit)
Stout deep disco, produced by awful Yury Chernavsky. The blackest track of the mix with a perfect beat (composer D. Tukhmanov, 1980).
05. Valerie Pavlov / Stop The Music (How_Beezar Sketch)
Jazz-funk sketch made of three fragments of ditty with splendid bass and desperate lyrics about a girl dancing with another guy (composer D. Tukhmanov, 1978).
06. Janna Aguzarova / Eagle (How_Beezar 2011 Garage Re-Edit)
Unexpectedly deep garage groove with overloaded shuffle-bass from best Russian pop-singer (1990).
07. How_Beezar presents: Ludmila Zykina / Malaya Zemlya
An outstanding song dedicated to the heroic defense of the bridgehead Malaya Zemlya near Novorossiysk in 1943. Soviet deep soul (composer A. Pakhmutova, 1978).
08. Yury Chernavsky / Hello, Bananan Boy (How_Beezar Instrumental Re-Edit)
Maestro Chernavsky again. This time with soviet disco-not-disco (1983).
09. All-Union Radio Orchestra / Fight Is Going On Again (How_Beezar 7 inch Re-Edit)
Soviet propaganda march-funk with knocking down trumpet solo (composer A. Pakhmutova, 1978).
10. Yury Antonov / I Remember (How_Beezar 2011 Re-Work)
Disco-rock masterpiece with ethereal synth solo in the middle. Here’s final version of the edit. No “poppy segments”, just pure magic.
11. Zodiac / Mysterious Galaxy (How_Beezar Edit)
Cosmic classic, 1982. Most popular soviet disco project in the world. The edit (my very first, incidentally) has been published in the previous release “How_Beezar: 1 year of re-edits” (2010), but this mix would be incomplete without it.
12. Valerie Leontiev / I Don’t Say Good-Bye (How_Beezar Sketch)
Hi-NRG sketch. Mr. Leontiev could not come to the studio at all (as well as Mr. Antonov).
