Formed in Moscow in 1985 by Alexei Borisov and Ivan Sokolovsky, Notchnoi Prospekt emerged as pioneers of the Soviet underground music scene. Their innovative sound fused electro-pop with elements of rockabilly, ska, post-punk, and industrial, evolving into a unique blend of industrial electronics, psychedelia, noise, and free improvisation. Gaining prominence in the 1980s, they performed extensively across Russia and internationally, including tours in Scandinavia and a notable performance in Vienna in 1989. Their discography features influential works like "Democracy and Discipline" and "Acids," cementing their status as trailblazers in experimental music.
