BG song in the performance of Egor Letov published

Cover version of Boris Grebenshikov "Electric Dog" in the performance of Egor Letov and "Civil Defense" was published online in special project, a tribute to the anniversary of the "Aquarium" create on 9 May aquarium.lenta.ru. Natalia Chumakov (widow Yegor Letov, bass guitarist "Civil Defense"): the beginning of 2003, we recorded the material for "long and happy life" and "resuscitation", but then thought it would be just an album. Invited in April from Tyumen drummer Sasha Andryushkino made him the material, but push further Yegor, the songs came and went. Sun at some point - maybe it was in the fall - we have to write a new, without drums, with guitarist Sanya Chesnakova - and with a drum machine. We then wrote to the device, called portostudiya "Roland". And at some point, we were asked if we do not write anything with the planned tribute Grebenshikov (or "aquarium", I do not remember exactly remember). Egor was thrilled and said he just always liked a song, and he thought it down. Once the idea was to take other people's songs - like "Star" - but not the Soviets and all his contemporaries. Revyakin it could be, for example - Yegor liked the song "September" - not only sing allow Revyakin. However, it's not about that. So decided Egor tribute - a good opportunity to write him a nice thing. When asked what we write, do not hesitate for a second. "Electric Dog". We found it somewhere, painted party and played quickly - not really philosophizing and under the same drum machine, because it was clear that you do not call Andryushkino -. Yegor has stuffed his hand on her However, in a tribute song that never came. Human Yegor was always in solidarity with the people who live about the same as he. Grebenshikov was still quite likely that he is not near -. I believe, and Yegor Grebenshchikov However, it is clear that in the early 80's every album "Aquarium" was a sensation. I know that he was watching her. It was such a funny thing: in 85 Egor wrote in a letter to a friend that we do not like it later, "Aquarium" that the "Triangle" or the "Blue Album" - force. And then changed my mind a hundred times - which was admired as "Water Train" then berated Grebenshikov was worth. Then I wrote a song called "BG", after his friend, who spoke with quotations from "Aquarium" - is such a feature of the fans. The song, by the way, well -. In her, as usual, only a fraction of a joke, if you think about it
