Perhaps you've heard the pop-computer music of 386 DX on WFMU. The genius behind the curtain is Alexei Shulgin and he lives in Moscow. Now, there's nothing worse than the tired cliches of Macintosh voices trying to emulate pop vocals but somehow Shulgin's programming transcends the normative drones. Check out his site, loaded with MP3s of pop classics such as California Dreaming, Smells Like Teen Spirit, and Enter Sandman. But wait, it gets even better with his disc Legends of Russian Rock. The entire disc is online as MP3s. Who knows what it's all about, but Russian Rock sure sounds fascinating.
Utter genius; I haven't smiled so much at music for a long time. The video of his 2001 performance seems to be corrupted though -- what a shame.
