Maestro of Decadence, Roman Rain is the most romantic image of the Russian non-commercial scene of the new century. In an era of universal destruction of the usual stereotypes, rich and cloudless life the real art comes, where the penetration and the sincerity of the music and poetry take their deserved places instead of glamour and templates. The sincerity which will not pass unnoticed by the audience and raise a spark of a Beauty in the souls that are willing to see something new through the ashes and dirt rusty wreckage of the past.

This self titled album Roman Rain includes Russian and English songs arranged with a very interesting sound, not only because of the language. Though I must admit that the sound of Russian lyrics distracts quite a lot from the electro synthesized sound. The music is very slow and melodic as well as melancholic. The album layout is very bright with some very artistic and interesting artwork. Roman Rain is not only music, it is art. An amazing and exotic album that more sounds like a fairytale. Unfortunately there is no lyrics in the booklet, but you can find the lyrics on their homepage. Roman Rain, something you should definitely check out.
