Zerkalo +

Zerkalo will be playing live in Liege, Belgium in a few days on 16th October 2009. More details at their MySpace. There is also a new Zerkalo track on their MySpace player, an instrumental called ‘Zelenogorsk’. I found there are two candidates for Zelenogorsk in Russia, one is a seaside town near Finland and the other is located to the south west of the country. This latter one is more than likely the one they are referring to if that is what they are doing. During the cold war it was a so-called 'closed town' where uranium was enriched and did not even appear on maps until 1992. In the context of Zerkalo it reminds me most obviously of Tarkovsky’s ‘Stalker’ which appears to be set in just such a mysterious town or zone. If you search GoogleVideo you can currently watch this movie if you have two and a half hours to spare. Well worth it if you do.
