On the money, @LG. I love how a fact can be misleading. Shortly after some friends of mine moved from California to Montana, a story appeared reporting how CA-ians were inundating MT.

Valentina Goncharova’s music—recorded at home, on a modified Soviet-era reel-to-reel recorder in the late ‘80s—weathered both a house fire and a collapsed roof, but the clarity and fidelity of the tapes remained surprisingly intact. Thirty years later, the music on those tapes is finally being released to the world courtesy of a double-LP reissue from the Ukraine-based, archive label Shukai.
