When will you be posting your Би-2 favs?

[Armoreska]

When will you be posting your Би-2 favs?

Never! you got some Bi-2 recommendations?
I've heard only 2 songs by them that I recognize and like: their russian Survivor song; and their most famous song (I believe), and an unnamed remix of it that I like a bit better.

Btw, how many entries by Kино will your list have?

The opening shot in that first video is from Gostya iz budushchego. What is the other footage from?

The footage in the first vid is from the Soviet sci-fi flick Cherez ternii k zvyozdam AKA Per Aspera Ad Astra (1981)

Thanks for the answer, but I'm pretty sure that initial shot, when she emerges from the door, is from Gostya iz budushchego, which I just watched recently, fwiw.

I guess you're right about that scene. Btw, did you like the music?

I've heard of Bi-2 for a long time, but I don't really know them well at all. In perusing those three clips, I'd say I'm on the fence: on the one hand, they sound fairly bland and derivative, but, on the other hand, I suppose there might be a chance for them to grow on me -- perhaps because there's just enough of a hint there of Kino, a band I think was fantastic.

That clip contains shots from several films (at least two) and indeed initial shots are from Gostya iz budushchego, I recognise those. Bi-2 is OK, not a big fan, but I do like that 3rd song posted - Polkovnik. Brat films soundtracks are indeed superb.

Uptown top ranking

It does make one put on a horrendous fake patois when singing along, but this cannot be helped.

[Armoreska]

Btw, how many entries by Kино will your list have?

0.0 in top 555, same as in the nonexistent top 1000

If I had a top 10K list, 3 well-known Kino songs would have made it probably. I did listen to their compilation once, but didn't find anything new that I really liked.

I've heard the 3rd song you posted before ofc, but never liked it. The first one is alright. I really don't like their lead singer's voice.
