Aquarium's concert recorded in january 1982 in Moscow. That was probably the third concert of the band in Moscow and definitely the first one with the new 'electric' sound. That was due to the new stuff of Aquarium: in the end of 1981 quitarist Alexander Lyapin and drummer Pyotr Troshenkov joined the band.

'Aroks' and 'Shtyor' are mysterious words from 'The Triangle' album, where the musicians recorded a poem backwards - 'aroks' and 'shtyor' appeared to be the only understandable words in that poem. Later in 'Cold Beer' Grebenshikov would sing: 'I know two words: Aroks and Styor'. 'Cold Beer', by the way, was inspired by Shinkarev's book 'Maxim and Feodor', kind of ABC of russian-style zen, and in 'A&S' Andrew (Dyusha) Romanov sings this song. Vsevolod Gakkel, violloncellist, sings 'Berry In The Field Forever', wild rock'n'roll (I'm listening rock for 20 years').

The sound of 'A&S' is rather dirty. That was quite usual for the beginning of the 80-es. This program was based on traditional rock'n'roll, with element of jazz-rock (which was not so traditional for russian mainstream at that time). Besides, some critics said that 'Sons of Silent Days' had something in common with 'Pink Floyd' songs. But that resemblance was coincidental. 'That's because Lyapin is fond of rock solos, - explained Grebenshikov. - Just like Gilmor'.

Anyway, sound and music have never been very important for Aquarium fans. It's energy that matters.
