Some info

The first album in English in former Soviet Union! This was in the year 19… of our "great age".
Group «Attraction» made a feat of arms and recorded their album in English.
This has happened in the «ice age» of our country. All-seeing KGB agents immediately learned about that and started the persecution and we got into hot water.
All our meetings with foreign musicians and producers were watched and sometimes we were plainly told to sing in Russian.
With God's help we all are still alive and healthy. Now is time when we can sing in English and communicate on equal terms with rest of the world without any fear.
But somebody had to make this become possible.
Today you have the unique chance to experience the first album in the bourgeois language in Soviet Union!

The Land of Sand Music and Lyrics by Alexander Shkuratov 1. Children like to build towers of sand Build so many brigs and pyramids Fairy land is burning in the sun But it’s made of sand and shaped by Children’s wishes. You know the sand is quick This land is too short lived Wind can wreck this dream I’m scared of the storm cloud. Ref: It seems to me The world is built of sand I’m worried cause the world’s not grand I swear I’ll take care Of castles in the air Pictures sand is our homeland 2. We’re engrossed in building new streets We don’t see storm clouds overhead Hail can never ruin magic places We believe it cannot wreck our dreams so cruelly. They say rain is blind It can destroy our land I’ll put up an umbrella And I will save the world. Ref: It seems to me The world is built of sand I’m worried cause the world’s not grand I swear I’ll take care Of castles in the air Pictures sand is our homeland. End: The Land of Sand! Will save the world!

The White Rose Music and Lyrics by Alexander Shkuratov 1. Nightfall hours we’re together And hearts feel the flare In the darkness I see A white rose in your hair Magic spreads in the deep night We are nowhere And the shining is bright as The rose in your hair Ref: Rose how tenders the white rose It flowers in my soul. Rose how tender’s the white rose It’ll never fade and fall. 2. We’re bewitched, you can’t see me And queen of deep night Waits to hide the white rose And wants it to die Magic spreads in the deep night We are nowhere And the shining is bright as The rose in your hair Ref: Rose how tenders the white rose It flowers in my soul. Rose how tender’s the white rose It’ll never fade and fall. 3. I will love you forever Love needs no cause And love is the air For our white rose. Ref: Rose how tenders the white rose It flowers in my soul. Rose how tender’s the white rose It’ll never fade and fall.

                 Life is Cinema
Music and Lyrics by Alexander Shkuratov

      One day I came to the moves.

1. I took my place the lights went out.
    And a strange thought come to my head:
    Life of a modern man is like
    Spending time in a cinema.

    We live in dark
    Don’t see who’s near
    We see events.
    They capture our thoughts,
    But we can’t change
    The establish course.

2. We’re a small parts of common flesh
    So must give Light for Free.
    We pulsate in time, as vanes,
    So its health is in your hands.
    It is a crime for the only people
    In the cosmic waist
    To fight for power
   And to mistrust,
   To live in fear,
   To feel too shy
   To smile at a man.

3. And Great People in vent great arms
    To wipe mankind of the Great Earth
    Tell me why, do we read news
    In such a world nobody knows:
    What’s crazy and what is not.
    In nets of dark I feel I’m feeble

   What’s crazy and what is not.
   In nets of dark I feel I’m feeble
   Course, a single man is a blade of grass
   I cried “hello” to crowd of dummies.
   I cried: hello!
