Eastern Syndrome / Celt

This is the third Trail release in a series of albums by the legendary neo-psychedelic band the Eastern Syndrome. The band hailed from the city of Magadan from the Far East of Siberia. The album is a collection of the best and the most memorable tracks from the first two albums released by Trail with the addition of rare versions and unique bonus tracks. The material was remastered and edited, and the bonus tracks, never previously released, were meticulously restored. The title track, “Celt,” is the most outstanding and powerful composition in the whole history of Russian psychedelia, and this album features the remixed edition of “Celt,” created by one of the surviving members of the band. The group was one of the rarest, absolutely original and relevant projects of Russian and Soviet rock; its music was advanced, distinguished by the quality and complexity of sound and approach. The band ceased to exist because of the death of its key members.

Eastern Syndrome / With The Keys On The Nose

“With the Keys on the Nose”: the second album by the Eastern Syndrome, a legendary band - continues the release of group’s work that started with “Studio 13.” “With the Keys on the Nose” was recorded in the studio of the Magadan Rock Club in 1988. The current edition features a new cover design, restored sound and mastering, completed with the participation of the three surviving members of the band,as well as three bonus tracks. Regretfully, the great artistic potential of the group, which combined a unique interpretation of post-punk and Russian psychedelia, remained unrealized. “With the Keys on the Nose” turned out to be a powerful and unified album on the cusp of the guitar “new wave,” psychedelia, and progressive rock. Connoisseurs can certainly identify in the music the influence of the Talking Heads and the King Crimson of the 80s.

Eastern Syndrome / Studio 13

For the first time on CD: the debut & the best album by the Eastern Syndrome, a unique band from Magadan , one of the major sensations in Russian alternative psychedelic rock of the 1980s-90s cusp. The key members of the group are no longer alive. “Studio 13” is a magnetic tape release classic: a home-made 16-channel recording of powerful, experimental music with elements of psychedelia as well as of post-punk, which has no parallels anywhere. For this edition, all the original tracks from the master tape were painstakingly restored and remastered in St Petersburg & New York studios. A new cover was designed using rare archive photos.

Collectors’ edition: 300 copies (sold out).
