КИНО (Kino) was a Soviet rock band hailing out of...well...Soviet Russia. They were the most prominent Soviet rock band of the 80's, and are still getting recognition until today. This album, Звезда по имени Солнце (The Star Called the Sun) is definitely their best release. The band has always been putting out sad, and distressful music, but The Star Called the Sun takes the cake on depression. With lyrics spanning from death of family members, to the only companionship they could have was with a pack of cigarettes, this album was quickly recognized as one of the most sinister and sad of all time, in Russia of course. These guys never really made it in America, but then again, they couldn't really leave Leningrad. Give this album a listen, and even if you can't understand the language, let the music entice you. Trust me, you can feel the emotion. Track 06 is my favorite, Пачка сигарет. Listen to it, if nothing else. За ваше здоровье!
