Zhdite Izoptitsa

The band's first tape album, self-released on cassette in 1997-1998, Daugavpils, recorded at Vantuz's home on his 4-channel mixing desk. The album's title is explained in the band's biography: the word "Izoptitsa" only made sense once the next album came out, since the song "Eto iz-za ptits" ("It's Because of the Birds") no longer fit on this one. This is the official 18-track version of the album from the band's Bandcamp page (with Intro and Outro). Songwriting/vocals: Vaida wrote and sang "Solnyshko", "Brivibas Piemineklis", "Merry Gipus", "Pulyu pushchu", "Na pol Yane", "K nulyu", "Zdravstvuy, milaya devochka" and "Zelyonaya"; the rest (aside from Intro/Outro) is Ryb. The original cassette had one more Ryb track, "Kuda popal", not included on the official Bandcamp version. Digitized to MP3 320 kbps.
