Any idea whether the two first Magnit albums are available anywhere? Were they released on vinyl or tape?Zherneboh wrote:I actually like 'Детектив' or 'De-tech-teeve' better than 'Dies Irae' ...
I also need the Credo LP bad!!
They were only released on tape (which sucks since it would be great to have the albums on vinyl).zeuhl wrote:Any idea whether the two first Magnit albums are available anywhere?

That's crazy isn't it!? Especially considering the quality of the material, number of musicians involved and production. I think 'Dies Irae' was released on the state-owned Melodiya label though...I'd love to know more about who these people were, interviews, etc. My bootleg copy just has a picture of Dies Irae with a photo of a reel-to-reel player in the sleeve for the other two releases!zeuhl wrote:Yeah, just tried to google both of the non-vinyl Magnit albums.. It seems they've been released on reel-to-reel tapes (only?), hah! That's just sad...
I have them, but they really sound like a completely different band. If it's not just a plain ol' mix-up, at least this was done with a different lineup. Of zero interest to even the most openminded Metal fan, believe me.jnfernal wrote:By the way: I listened to the 6 instrumental tracks on the "Slushaj Rok": they are cover or reprisal of classic music and semi-progressive rock tunes. Nothing special but it's a shame to see that they aren't available anywhere else except for some torrent sources.
Yes...not so good those 6 instrumentals...but that 'Dies Irae' is absolutely stunning! As with their Prokofiev cover on Detective. I gather they were a bunch of classically trained musicians?DaN wrote:I have them, but they really sound like a completely different band.

One really cool Magnit-recording not mentioned yet is their cover of Mozart's "Dies Irae". I don't think it was part of any old 'magnito-album' but rather a separate unique track.

Its VERY BRAVE video clip for 1990 year,because it speaks about Stalin/Communism crimes.
