I first heard this album in 1999. It took most of a day to download on a very slow rural dial-up connection. It was a random selection from an FTP and given it was the first album listed, I just went with it. I believe I referred to it as "Russian polka metal" the first time I heard it and had mixed feelings between intrigue and confusion. It grew on me after awhile and has become one of my favorite albums, helping me develop an appreciation for the much maligned accordion as a valid instrument.
