KINO Black Album 1991 Tsoi Chorny Albom Vintage Vinyl Record RD Metadigital USSR

The unnamed album (known colloquially as Black Album (Russian: Чёрный альбом, Chorny albom, and sometimes just named Kino) is the eighth and final studio album of the Soviet rock group Kino. The rough demo version was recorded in the Latvian village Plieņciems shortly before the death of the frontman Viktor Tsoi in a car crash. The remaining members of Kino completed the album as a tribute to Tsoi.

It was originally released on vinyl by the studio Metadigital in December 1990. On this original vinyl issue, no track names were given, just the text Producer: Yu. Aizenshpis and a photo of the band. A lyric sheet was included, but the songs were just titled 1 to 8. The track names were revealed on the 1994 CD reissue on Moroz.

The album is best remembered for the song "Cuckoo" ("Кукушка"), which many fans consider to be a (even if unwitting) swan song for the band. Themes the song touches on range from mortality to existential guilt. It became one of the band's most well-known songs.
