"Sports & Music" from USSR

[vslava]

I present you the LP series from Soviet state label "Melodiya" (Melody) called "Sports & Music"

There were 5 mini-LPs on 45 rpm intended for aerobics

First was PULSE-1
https://www.discogs.com/А-Родионов-Б-Тихомиров-Пульс-1-Музыкальный-Компьютер/master/481010
"Musical Computer" by Andrey Rodionov (side A) and Boris Tihomirov (side B)
https://www72.zippyshare.com/v/lj62NflX/file.html
both composers were pioneers of Soviet computer music

*After Pulse-1, Rodionov + Tihomirov released second LP "512 Kbytes" (memory value of their computer)))

it sounds very outdated and silly now, but 35 years ago it was very revolutionary (especially at Soviet censored music scene)


PULSE-2 was

Latvian (former USSR republic) composer Zigmar Liepinš, mostly known as songwriter, but there was his special instrumental program

Then PULSE-3
https://www.discogs.com/Арсенал-Пульс-3-Pulse-3/master/322508
by famous Soviet jazz band "Arsenal"
https://www5.zippyshare.com/v/zmeNFSD6/file.html
I need to say that very big massive of music by Arsenal (jazz-rock) is not similar to this LP (synth-funk-jazz). Full synth-funk-jazz program didn't fit into this LP and was released some years later on CD

very rare and expensive item now. The CD-rip is here:

The last PULSE-4
https://www.discogs.com/Владимир-Осинский-Аэротон/master/477446
by Valery Osinski and his band "Aeroton"
https://www12.zippyshare.com/v/ygwKzVNV/file.html

And finally, not numbered but belonging to this series LP
https://www.discogs.com/Various-Ритмическая-Гимнастика-Aerobic-Exercises/release/5470740
LP for aerobic excersises, but it doesn't contain pure music, you can hear coach commands through all the LP

That's all!
Enjoy))
