who had previously left. Discography The first album of Russkiy Razmer, Ю-А-Ю (Yu-A-Yu), was recorded with a female vocalist, Анжела (Anzhelika Kuznetsova), and Вадим Володин (Vadim Volodin), who was the sound-arranger and producer of that time. The album had a successful debut in Russia. It was influenced by the rave movement and groups like 2 Unlimited. Nevertheless, it was different from the albums of the genre in the sense that it incorporated the "space traveling" concept and included melodic love songs connected with it. The next album Ля-Ля-Фа (La-La-Fa) was recorded with Профессор Лебединский (Professor Lebedinsky) and consisted mainly of energetic and funny rave cover-versions of all-time popular Russian songs. It was later re-issued as Давай! Давай! (Come on! Come on!) and was even more of a success in Russia than the first album. At the same time, the group was recording an alternative club album, Мяу (Meow), which was inspired by their active club life. It had the alternate title Съешь таблетку, будь здоров! (Eat a Pill and be Healthy!). Liner notes of the album mention that it was not about glamorizing drugs, such as ecstasy, but was instead just about a healthy way of life. The album consists of eleven techno-rave compositions. The first track from it, Человек собаке друг (A Human is a Dog's Friend), reached the 12th place on the Dutch club charts in 1996. After a two-year hiatus the group released their fifth album in 1998, Танцуем? (We Dance?). The female voice on the album belongs to Eva Polna. In 1999 the group released their album 650, which featured the female vocalist Настя (Nastya). The album got its title from 650 MB volume of a CD because it was supposed to have contained an enhanced CD-ROM feature. The enhanced version of the CD, however, was a very limited pressing, so it was decided to re-release the album under the title 650.2. On the re-released version some new songs were added, some were excluded, and the multimedia part consisted of the contents of their official web-site, including photos of the group, stories, videos and mp3s. While the songs from 650 are perhaps less romantic when compared to the songs from Танцуем? (We Dance?) they represent a synthesis of creative and professional skills in writing dance-pop songs.
