Album Notes

From III Records website -

Lunar Surphase - after dazzling Redux, trombone-guitar duo recording, featuring the compositions of Rod Oakes and Igor Grigoriev, avantmeister OGOGO returns to his origins with a tour de force of Russian Avant-Garde. Affluent and soulful, this is OGOGO at his most impressive, supported by extraordinary musicians and performing compositions extremely close to his spirit. Predisposed by the unusual modal system of Russian music, the counterpoint of Johann Sebastian Bach and the harmonic magnetism of Modest Mussorgsky and Karlheinz Stockhausen, OGOGO creates an innovative idiom of ecstasy and sorrow, decisively ingrained in the Russian folklore. Rod Oakes (trombone) and Andrey Solovyov (trumpet, flute) are guests on several tracks.

All compositions written by Igor Grigoriev - ASCAP.
