The first-ever collection to illuminate the vast body of work created by the Uzbek composer Rumil Vildanov (Румиль Вильданов) during the second half of the 20th Century. Offering a rare glimpse of liberated creative spirit operating behind the Iron Curtain, this engrossing double LP provides an unprecedented immersion into the work of one of the most celebrated composers from Uzbekistan, often described as the "Ennio Morricone of Central Asia".

Comprising a startling range of electronic and electroacoustic experiments, evocative chamber works and orchestral works, and more discrete instrumental efforts (all created to accompany moving image), totalling an incredible 82 pieces in total, this remarkable sonic journey into Vildanov's inner world and towering talents, which have, until now, remained almost entirely unheard beyond the time and place within which he worked - contributes a significant historical counterpoint to standing perceptions connected to artistic expression under Soviet rule, placing the composer's engrossing contribution to post-war music within the broader context it deserves.
