|| There's a heavy, heavy Slavic influence that is instantly recognizable;
|| Russian and Caucasian melodies and rhythms, etc. Zdob si Zdub
|| has a heavy
|| Moldovan folk vibe going on and Ivan Kupala does Dead Can
|| Dance-like updates
|| of Russian folk songs. I love Ivan Kupala. (And their copious
|| library of MP3
|| files!) A band like Mummy Troll would be unthinkable outside of
|| Russia -- I
|| just can't imagine them anywhere else.
