The pick of today


 ON THE BORDER TO ETERNITY


During one of the tours throughout Germany "The Bastards" received an unusual offer - to create a song for the 50th birthday of Mick Jagger (There was a group called "The Rolling Stones")  There were lyrics by Alexis Corner (a guy who wrote some stuff for "Stones") and a request for some blend of musical styles.

That is how the "ON THE BORDER TO ETERNITY" was born.

Right now you have an unique chance to hear this composition, which was created and recorded in a very short time (the guitar solo was created on the spot).   All you need to do is to push  "" button, if you can answer: "Who is this guy?"

The Bastards   

(AC-01) ,1994

 

 

That is not quantity, but quality, what matters!

"The Bastards" is a unique group.  Playing loud for years, they have released only one album so far.  That is some kind of anthology, where you can find music of the highest quality.  It is powerfull, furious and yet melodical music, which is performed by the best musicans in Latvia, assembled by Aivars Rakovskis.

The unique recording, which has become the most desperatly seeked rarity among the true lovers of this kind of music, initially was released in audiocassette format, and immediatly managed to take the first place among the "Atomic Records" releases.

As soon as there will be possibility to purchase rereleased CD, you will find information here.  Keep in touch!

But in the meantime, you have the unique chance to obtain a Maestro's autographed CDR copy, which is dedicated especially for you!

Just e-mail to thebastards@one.lv, to clarify all the specific details.

Don't miss this chance!

You can listen to some soundclips of "The Bastards" masterpieces.  Just click on icon - austinas to download a MP3 file. 

And after that just imagine, how nice it would be to hear all that stuff in CD quality on your excellent stereo.

If you find a English title besides the Latvian one, it does not mean, that there are two versions of the song.  It is just a translation.
