IV  ANKYLYM 1998/2000

cassette

The first album, funny noisy hardcore with futuristic style lyrics mostly about modern transport technologies. Also includes the year 2000 EP. Being an admirer of early Anlykym's works, I had always regretted that they had not been published. For the members of the band at the time did not care for publicity at all. So I had to deal with it at my own risk, the first attempt of this kind having been unsuccessful (see II ANKYLYM «Ketchup»). This time I did care for the approval of the release and obtained some amount of funny pictures to use for the cover. For the records of 1998 and 2000 were placed on the master tape without any pause, it wasn't possible to separate them in the process of manual duplication, and so I had to release both together, though this decision might be not correct. A second reason was deficiency of short tapes (without 9 1/2 minutes the album would take 20 and otherwise 30 long minutes). However, officially I preferred to explain it by the complexity of manufacturing envelopes with 3" CDR 9 1/2 minutes (Stauropygial III). The album of 1998 was at the same time named U Volod'ki (At Volodka's, a diminutive of Vladimir) in honour of the owner of the rehearsal place, Gorbatchoff, where and with who as the sound engineer the record had been done.

Copied cover with lyrics in Russian.
