from my pal yuri's website. these are vintage russian underground recordings. some of them recorded onto x-ray film. so, you get an ancient russian folk song recorded onto a skull x-ray. anyway, so many of them are works of art. you can have your fancy faberge eggs. i'll take these.

they look like they could have inspired gerhard richter (the painter), but they feel less deliberate and fussy than his work.

Amazing. Song on the skull x-ray album is called "You come quietly (Ты потихоньку приходи), foxtrot".

When I interviewed Nate Young last year he said he'd recently got into using x-rays as part of his lathe-cutting process, never seen pics of them but these are ridic, massive s/o to scott as always for bringing the goods.

see, it's funny you mention nate young cuz what made me think of these records yesterday - and yuri's site - was aaron dilloway posting on facebook that he had finally found an original copy of his favorite song which was an old avant garde industrial russian 78:
