How is that Kruiz 7"? I was told that only the 2 full-lengths from 1986 & 1988 were metal, and the rest AOR?

It's a weird and funny one, in a VERY Russian way. 1st song "Heavy Music" is 80's poprock w/ 70's Hard Rock-guitars, the titletrack is "phonky" disco-pop yet totally without "groove" in ANY shape or form
The B-side is the best one. Quite heavy yet not too hard HR with an 80's pop-production. Nice, eastern-oozing, abstract cover too:

All those except LONGLOFF came in a trade from Igor. The KR debut (?) tape album of '89 is classic CCCP-Metal a la ARIA, KONSUL, CREDO etc.. Their theme-song and likewise opening track on this tape is one of the greatest Metal Anthems ever to come out of the Eastern Block! The LP is more hard rock/melodic and less epic, but still worth digging out for fans of this scene.

Ahh, I see... Could you upload the tape album? It would be great. I already have the LP on the computer.

Is this the one released by Finnish label or perhaps some other 7"? If I remember right the band is basically GUNNAR GRAPSI GRUPP with Gunnar Grapsi replaced by another vocalist.

It's a private release, no label name just the serial LL-1, but I think it was made in Finland, yes. At least that's what I read on a Finnish saleslist.

I checked the line-up of GGG's "Polemine" LP and you are correct. LONGLOFF = 3 guys from this line-up + new vocalist. It's not quite as good as "Polemine", but it has its moments. Well worth picking up cheap.

Yes, correct - it's a private release but Finnish label Stupido Twins were somehow involved. Perhaps just helping out with practical things plus distributing it over here. I guess this is the only release by the band.

Up for grab is an Estonian rock compilation album from 1990. Most of punk/rock suxx for your ears but there are 2 jewels too: namely local Thrash metal legend Shower (stupid name) who were amateurish like Metallica pre- Kill em All. Songs are recorded in 1989.

Matter of taste but I find GGG super! Yeah, not über rarity but still very good. Also GGG compilation triple CD is highly recommended. Yeah, they sing in Estonian so not really interesting for foreigners.
Also, I can highly recommend band called Varaan. They have songs like "Anna tulla" and "Igaviku hääl". Try to find with soulseek or other programs. Cool stuff!
