«Город Зеро» — оригинальный советский фильм режиссёраКарена Шахназарова, был снят в 1988 году. Первоначально фильм был задуман как комедия абсурда, однако, как потом признавался сам режиссёр, фильм перерос первоначальный замысел.
Psych-Funk 101 introduces students to the global phenomenon of
psychedelic funk music, and covers the "golden years" of the movement,
from approximately 1967 until 1980. This compilation does not focus on
American and British bands. Rather it focuses on the bands throughout
the Global Village that were influenced by the innovation of American
and British bands that many times one upped the heroes they sought to
emulate. This compilation focuses on bands influenced by James Brown,
The Meters, Sly and The Family Stone, Booker T and The MGs and The Bar
Kays and unsung rhythmic forces such as drummers Bernard Purdie, Idris
Muhammad, Earl Palmer, bassists such Carol Kaye and Jimmy Lewis. It
focuses on bands who took that energy and combined it with the flair of
psychedelic-rock musicians such as Jimi Hendrix and the ensemble known
as Cream as well as pop-rock acts taken by the experimental side of
psychedelia such as The Beatles. But these bands added their own,
unique cultural flourishes. The result is mind-bending. Think about it
for a second what musical forces were greater than that of funk and
psychedelic music in the late 60s and early 70s? These forces, combined
by bands happy to incorporate folk music and improvisational elements
from other musical forms, lead to an amazing body of work still being
unearthed by researchers the world over and still capable of inspiring
new investigations into shapes of rhythm. (amazon.com)
A
very cool collection of work -- and one that moves way past the typical
vibe of the usual psyche comp you might expect! A fair bit of the
recordings here are from the early 70s UK scene, and show a real
evolution since the end of the previous decade -- a move towards styles
that are a bit leaner than before, with some cool compression and other
production tricks in the mix -- almost elements that are a precursor
for sounds to come in the space rock and glam scenes, but still
definitely more psyche-based here. As with other Past & Present
sets, there's a full batch of notes telling the tale of each unique
track -- and the set list is filled with gems. (dustygroove.com)

Persian psychedelic pop, funk, soul and boundless grooves from the 60s
& 70s -- one of the greatest compilations yet from Finders Keepers!
Many of the tunes are actually classics of the era's Iranian scene, if
wildly fresh and new our ears, while others are quite obscure all
around, but all of it is fresh and exciting exotic pop that we're
thrilled to see collected. The sounds draw from the creatively fertile
period when traditions were combined in music all around the world --
with hypnotic eastern raga strings blended with global funk and jazz,
bursting pop tunefulness and both meditative and instantly gratifying
melodies of myriad influences, borderline disco grooves and beyond.
Exciting stuff! 16 tracks in all: "Helelyos'" by Zia, "Biya Bar-e Safar
Bandim" by Mohammad Nouri, "Talagh" by Googoosh, "Miravi" by Soli,
"Kavir-e Del" by Marjan, "Naz Kardanet Vaveyla" by Sima Bina", "Sharm-e
Boos-e" by Ramesh, "Cheshm-e Man" by Dariush and more. (dustygroove.com)
