	Gunesh is great. The Russian label Boheme issued the two Gunesh albums originally released in the 80's (I think there is an eponymously titled one and the second called "45 degrees in a shadow" in 2000. Leader Rishad Shafi is a great drummer. Musically jazz rock (Passport?) with a sort of 80's disco feel on some tracks (especially the second release), and other tracks liberally take references from all part of the east - Arabic to Vietnam. Then one or two tunes seem a cross between Mahavishnu Orch and Shakti. Somebody tells me Peter Gabriel tried hard to get Shafi into Western Europe to play with his band, but Russian communism bureaucracy at the time defeated him.
