Zodiac - Zodiac - текст песни, слова, перевод, видео

In the late 70s, in the depths of the student club of the Latvian State Conservatory named after J. Vitols, composer Janis Lusens and producer Aleksandrs Griva, under the influence of the music of the foreign group "Space", created the rock group "Zodiac", which almost entirely concentrated on studio work. The art of the musicians of the group Zodiac aroused great interest among listeners. The reasons for this, apparently, were in the uniqueness of the musical solutions, the originality of the compositions performed by the group. Its style attracted with its balanced sound, the prevalence of the melodic principle over the rhythm-percussion, noise, technical perfection and good taste. "Zodiac" is a studio ensemble: its creative ideas, style are fully revealed only in the recording, which is a long, complex and painstaking work of all participants, especially the sound engineer. "Zodiac" performs electronic rock music, using polyphonic synthesizers and various special recording effects. Wide and diverse performance capabilities allow the ensemble to create compositions on a variety of topics. One of them is the theme of space. "Zodiac" has addressed it more than once. And with particular interest - after visiting Star City, where the musicians successfully performed and personally communicated with cosmonauts, specialists working in this field. Meetings in Star City, stories about flights to outer space were a new creative stimulus for the ensemble. And the titles of the compositions of Janis Lusens already testify to the nature of the music performed by the rock group "Zodiac". In 1982, the ensemble successfully performed in Moscow in the variety program "Youth of the Baltic", which was held as part of the final concert of the festival "Moscow Stars", dedicated to the 60th anniversary of the formation of the USSR and the XIX Congress of the All-Union Leninist Young Communist League. Work on the film "Star Palette" (Central Studio of Popular Science Films) has also been completed, where "Zodiac" with its music "comments" on the films of twice Hero of the Soviet Union, pilot-cosmonaut Alexei Leonov.

The first album "Disco Alliance", recorded and released in 1980, became the best-selling album in Latvia of all time. It was a real bomb on the Soviet stage. The records, released in large print runs, were instantly bought up in all corners of the Soviet Union. According to unofficial records, more than 20 million vinyl records were sold in the Soviet Union, Japan, Austria, Finland and other countries.
