“Far from Moscow” is a project designed to aggregate and foster music over a very wide area. We have now decided – at the start of 2012 – to release regular compilations, dedicated to *varied* genres and digital material that might otherwise go unnoticed.

These albums should help to slow the rate at which young and impressive performers move across the horizon. The same collections should also help to nurture new audiences, both at home and… far from Moscow.

The tracks on display – this time! – come from Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Latvia, Lithuania, and Kazakhstan. All were published in the first weeks of 2012. Within each file you’ll find photographic, geographic, and archival information concerning each artist or band.
