PAXTA-CORE, Underground Uzbekistan [Tian An Men 89 Records, 2006]

Second post of the day follow the Underground Tajikistan LP below. The PAXTA-CORE comp LP is amazing, somehow an alternative music scene is able to exist in the dictatorship and kingdom of cotton Uzbekistan. The music here, like the Tajikistan LP, are varied in quality and style. I think the bands here have more of an overall distinct style that is uniquely Uzbek and the comp flows really well. Тупратикон's and then Броген Боген start the comp with some classic Siberian/Soviet inspired punk rock music followed by Слезы Солнца's great indie rock punk songs. Next is БГмольцы и ГрОбовержцы which by a name like that is definitely influenced by GRAZHDANSKAYA OBORONA, except their music is like minimal-siberian-synth-punk, great track! The final song on side A is by Хардкор Опа, a highly satirical, raw, blown out and noisy central asian styled punk band, with lyrics all in Uzbek instead of Russian, one of the highlights of the comp in my opinion.

Side B is kicked off with Red-Акция, absolutely brilliant example of political/critical Soviet/Siberian punk rock. Definitely my favorite tracks on the compilation. Скисерз and Сучий Потрох finish off the side with more classic sounding central Asian punk rock music, lots of fuzzy guitars and lo-fi recordings, brilliant stuff!
