If THAT's new age music so i'm really into it.
But I have the feel that's not the case.. starting mid-80s most of 'em ruined everything, mixing it with lousy worldy sounds.. Grab this one as it's (mostly) only synths ! And it speaks russian.

VERY MUCH RECOMMENDED !

THAT'S A CHANGE !

VA - Pulse Series (Soviet Electro.. MEGA RARE & PRECIOUS !)

Now for some FIRST RIPPED EVER Soviet mid 80s Electro !!

Ripped by Mu Tha, you rock ABSOLUTELY !

Those ones are strange.. love'em!
The proper gear is here : Yamaha DX7 & CX5, Roland Jupiter 4 & TR909
It really sounds like 81 or 82..

Here's the transcript of the text from the back of 'Pulse 1' :

Physical exercise to music can greatly help to organise rationally our work and rest. Both musical and human motion rhythms may be classed as 'functionnal', with an essential influence on Man's health and productivity.

The present record is a joint venture of the Melodia sound-recording firm and the USSR Sports Committee, first in a planned series under 'Pulse' heading meant to emphasize the vital importance of physical culture.

'Pulse 1' Of the 'Sports & Music' series is recommended to accompany coaching sessions, sports festivals, competitions and other active recreations.

The series will be sufficiently versatile to adapt to various purposes that music can serve in sports.

The series first disc acquaints the public with electronic music composed with the help of an individual musical computer, for the first time in the USSR.

The scores were created on the display with the subsequent playback on the magnetic tape. The composition is based on suites of contrasting instrumental miniatures.

Whe hope that the joint effort of Melodia and the USSR Sports Committee will promote Soviet electronic in Sports.

Anyone can help regarding 'Sonda' music (<> a 70s polish tv show... that's a tough one ;-) )

Bartholomew came to me with the (strong!) urge of finding infos (and perhaps clean rips..) on the music from what it appears to be a cult polish tv show : Sonda.

.. "broadcasted between 1977 and 1989, it was presented by Zdzisław Kamiński and Andrzej Kurek.The program ended with the death of its hosts in a car accident on September 29, 1989...A total of 529 episodes were broadcast. Most of the broadcast tapes have been deleted."

Here are the samples he'd like us moog diggers to identify :

Hope you could help!
