one of the founders of the russian beat and rock music.
He has Founded groups: Fobos,Kentavr,Jar Ptica,Alibi,Okna,Pulsar,Vspolohi ...
Удивительная смесь ощущений - ностальгии по прошлому, молодости и доброты - возникает, когда слушаешь этот диск. Огромное спасибо Сергею, ведь "Некрасивая" и "Водовоз" - это супер-хиты российского рока!
Александр Соловьев
"Красные дьяволята"
"Цветы"
Есть такое понятие: появится "в нужное время в нужном месте". Я считаю, что Сергей Попов не уложился в эту формулу, так как он опередил свое время. Если бы была возможность записать Сережины песни на хорошей аппаратуре в то время, когда они появились на с веет, то, возможно, наш рок-н-ролл, а в то время биг-бит, пошел бы по другому пути. Ведь песни в этом стиле, в отличие от бардовских, требовали оборудования необходимого качества, а оно тогда было только в руках Государства, которому такая музыка была не нужна. К сожалению, История не терпит сослагательных наклонений…
…Огромное спасибо Сереже, что сейчас мы, наконец, можем черпать рок-н-ролл из его истоков.
Вячеслав Малежик "Мозаика" "Веселые ребята"
Дорогой Сережа! Я счастлив, что являюсь твоим современником. Все, что ты делаешь и все, что ты делал, мне всегда нравилось и нравится. И так как мы с тобой возрастные дядьки, давай не впадать в старческий маразм еще долгое время.
Спасибо за возвращение живой Истории рок-н-ролла!
Биг-бит forever!
Евгений Маргулис "Машина времени" "Воскресение"
The Amazing mixture of the sensations - a nostalgias on past, youth and kindnesses - appears, when listen this disk. Enormous thank you Sergey , after all "Necrasivaya" and "Vodovoz" - a super-hits of the russian fate!
Alexander Nightingale "Flowerses"
There is such notion: will appear "at necessary time in necessary place". I consider that Сергей Попов did not pack in this formula, since he has overtaken its time. If was a possibility to write Сережины canto on good equipment just when they appeared on with winnows, that, possible, our fate-н-ролл, but in that time big-bit, will go on the other way. After all canto in this stiletto, unlike бардовских, required equipment necessary quality, but it then was only in hand Государства, which such music was does not need. Regrettably, История does not tolerate the subjunctive mood
Enormous thank you Sergey that presently we, finally, can cull the fate-н-ролл from his(its) headwaters.
Vyacheslav Malezhik "Mosaic" "Merry boys"
Expensive Sergey!
I have happiness that to show your contemporary. All that you do and all that you did, I always liked and likes. And since we with you age uncles, let's not to fall into senile marasmus else for a long time.
Thank you for return alive history of rock&roll !
Big-bit forever!

The Vivisectors - Gulag Tunes - Melodies and Rhythms of Gulag (2005) Russia
What a cool concept. Ever since I heard The Fat man and Team Fat cover the "Volga Boatman," I thought Russian prisoner and work songs would be great to cover in the surf idiom. The Vivisectors' Gulag Tunes proves the point.
Picks: 'Free Flying Birds', 'Stop That Train (I Wanna Get Off)', 'Tagunca (Old Moscow Jailhouse)', ''Vurkuta - Leningrad' Express', 'Uncle Ivan's Cherry Garden', 'Kolyme', 'New Pub On Deribasovskaya', 'Cigarette Stub (From White Kulyme Hell)', 'Two Punks Escape From Prison In Odessa', 'Bublichki', 'Night Lights', 'Gop-So-Smykom (Natural Born Thief)', 'Pigeons Flying Over Our Jail', 'Night Lights'
Free Flying Birds Pulsing rhythms and reverb play a sad song with that uniquely durable Russian fatalism. The song is quite lovely, and the the arrangement very charming.
Stop That Train (I Wanna Get Off) This song has a wonderful warmth, a heart with deep soul. The panned guitar drama bridges are very cool, and the overall production very complimentary. the rockabilly beat adds a sense of travel.
Tagunca (Old Moscow Jailhouse) the warmth of the surf idiom contrasts well to the theme of the song. There's a kind of imaginary hope in the sound, and a haunting in the arrangement. Very soothing.
'Vurkuta - Leningrad' Express With an eastern European rock sound via the shimmer of tremolo and echo delivers a sad melody with a very memorable riff. Wonderful richness and crisp production.
Uncle Ivan's Cherry Garden With a touch of "Secret Agent Man," this song has a happy infectious sound, even though it's a bit fatalistic. Really nice!
Kolyme "Kolyme" employs dark surf rhythms, whammified danger, and moody ambiance very effectively. It's very pretty in a profoundly sad way. I like this a lot.
Limunchiki Echoed guitar and a very cool backtrack are well sync'd in a highly rhythmic way. This is an extremely lovely and infectious track, somewhat reminiscent of a few of the Ventures Japanese instros, only more emotional.
Kyev and Varanezh "Kyev and Varanezh" is a pretty and gently moving track. I'm not sure why, but it doesn't grab me like the rest of the tracks here.
New Pub On DeribasovskayaMurky double picking a la balalaika gentle introduces this sad song with a quiet drama. Once the song arrives, it becomes rhythmic and infectious, while also being somewhat apathetic about any improvement in life's lot.
Cigarette Stub (From White Kulyme Hell) With a spy rhythm and ringing chords, "Cigarette Stub (From White Kulyme Hell)" is a gentle and passive song with a very haunting guitar line. The round soft tone of the guitar adds to the sense of subtlety, and the melody is sad, yet very comfortable.
Two Punks Escape From Prison In Odessa An infectious near-ska rhythm and a very nicely echoed guitar combine in a romping adventure. "Two Punks Escape From Prison In Odessa" is an optimistic song of freedom's flight. It captures your soul and makes you empathize with the escapees. Very cool.
Bublichki Dark drama is conveyed via the guitar's tone, and the glissandos add a sense of danger more than surf. "Bublichki" is a string track with a cohesive emotional sense.
Night Lights A gentle flow and rhythm capture your imagination as "Night Lights" plays. Its infectious rhythm and the melancholy nature of the melody are well paired, creating a well crafted arrangement that keeps your attention. Very nice.
Gop-So-Smykom (Natural Born Thief)"Gop-So-Smykom (Natural Born Thief)" is a bouncy almost rockabilly instro with a rolling beat and gypsy heart. melancholy for sure, yet somewhat happy for the moment.
Pigeons Flying Over Our Jail This song has a great dark rhythm and beat, and haunting guitar with rich tone and perfectly suited echo. The rhythmic nature of the backtrack keeps you moving forward with the advancing melody line. "Pigeons Flying Over Our Jail" captures and keeps your attention. Soothing and open road cool.
Night Lights (Drunk Version)Well, this version of "Night Lights" is very well named. Its lumbering gate and old world rhythm portray Vodka soaked closing time. Too fun. (http://reverbcentral.com/reviews/v/vivisectors5320.html)

The Vivisectors - Case History of John Doe (2003) Russia
It’s songs like “Mad,” “Monkey Hunter,” and “Alien In Government” that then rip to shreds all our preconceived notions of what surf is. The Vivisectors slice and dice and toss it all around, injecting Garage Rock and Film Noir spy rock into the mix, with a sense of dread and urgency that somehow lifts the spirits. “Radio Spell,” “Fried Chicken,” “Cruel Love,” and others open up the Monster lo-fi sound that Mike Antipow (Guitars, organ, drum loops, home PC) plays with the furiousness of a man possessed. We hear him ripping and shredding chords like the powerful waves that crash upon the board riders and the beach, intricately picking at huge Phat bottom notes, that run and slice through the heart and the waves. We surf through an intriguing presentation of a genre that has long been treated as dead, and is only recognized by those who cling to the past and exult the extinct. It teaches us that the stereotyping of terror, evil, and repression of the old USSR blinds us in much the same way to the core, soul, and general goodness of its people.“Motorpsycho,” “Russki Psycho,” “Scary Song,” “Midnight Travel,” “Terrorfobia,” and “KGB Moscow Nights” assert all the horror, terror, and dark, mysterious ways of fear and loathing under a communist regime. But, it is the sound that reaches in and urges us to let it go, to wrap ourselves in the resurrected music of a brighter and happier time and culture, but not to forget what brought us to this point and how much farther we still must go. “Enigma Of John Doe,” does just that with a schlock-psycho-monster style narrative that draws us like the curious to an accident. Perhaps this is the sound we make when we want to see what should in fact repulse us. It’s human nature reduced to its most primitive, a sullen fright that confuses, yet identifies us all at once, the world mummified for all to gawk and ponder.Maybe that’s why “Cold Waves” leads to the closing of this CD. It finally lays the Russian surf scene out for all to see. While the waves are as friendly as they are frigid, they urge us to realize that those fanatics who practice and present it with revered vision should be warmly received for all they’ve done and accomplished. “Outro” may close the mausoleum doors, and while upon arrival the caskets may have been full of dead expectations of a genre and culture, we’ve been shown that we shouldn’t be shoveling the dirt – Raise the dead.
