Vezhlivy Otkaz have announced there will be a follow up to Geese & Swans released in Dec 15.

Here are versions of some of the new tracks they are currently working through in a live setting

Damn...now I wish I was in my apartment - not sitting in my folks house with a cat on my kneesErmm

Have you picked up their latest Droga? For some reason it just keeps eluding me. The one track I've heard from it was absolutely killer.
Hey, thanks for the review. Very happy I checked them out.
 
I have Waters, Subkraut and Droga (and the bonus CD Liventures, etc). Really I think all three albums are very much the same level - all killer no filler - and Droga isn't any weaker than Subkraut. Just been feeling really Krauty recently! But would definitely get Droga when you can, no way you would regret it. It's a bit more "proggy", but really in a good way.
 
I'm trying not to buy vinyl at the moment as my record deck is broken and I don't know when I can fix it Ouch

I will add to those who favour Vespero. For me they recently went from 'not aware of their existence' to 'one of my favourite bands currently working' in the space of a few weeks. I believe it was Guldbamsen's review of By The Waters of Tomorrow that got me interested to listen to some tracks, resulting in a plump package of CDs from RAIG arriving not too much later Smile
 
Subkraut: U-Boats Willkommen Hier is my current favourite of theirs.

I don't think anyone has mentioned Rada & Ternovnik. They were added to Prog Folk a couple years ago.

I know, as I saw his thread during one of my lurking sessions on PEWink. I will recommend that album for one of January's editions of Something for the Weekend!

Vezhlivy Otkaz and Pikapika Teart are 2 of my favorite bands regardless of country.

I apologize for speaking out of turn, but my most passionate love of geography compels me to do it Geek Doesn't From.Uz quite literally mean "From Uzbekistan"? Which would the band in Uzbekistan rather than Russia.

^Arsenal was first ever Russian real jazz-rock band in 70-s. In 1985-86 they first turn to what they named break-dance ( urban dance rhythms) in their music, and then just became competent contemporary jazz/pop-jazz band. Last years ( and with different line-up their founder/leader trying to return back in a jazz/jazz fusion. Mainproblem is there are not too many recordings possible from their progressive period (really - from 70-s).

To me Arsenal is one of most biggest Russian Jazz Fusion Band ever. Absolutely great with a great space sax music that we love first time we listen.
Why this band isn't in page of Progarchives?
I see the 30 maniversary DVD and it's amazing, beautiful, great and a masterpiece. Enjoy because it's a great music moment ever

If you are fond of jazz-rock and fusion, you should listen to Roman Miroshnichenko, Russian virtuoso guitarist and Al Di Meola's good friend
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hZjJIVXfuEg - here you can wathch Roman jamming with Meola
I haven't heard about russian prog (what a shame considering that I'm from Russia, i know, I know...), but jazz and fusion scene in Russia is pretty interesting and has its own really old traditions
