"Punk Opera: CheLennon" by The Oz
This full-length experimental "punk opera" project includes 13 unique post-punk versions of John Lennon revolutionary and rare songs mixed with 6 reprises of politically intense interviews with him. This brilliant work was created by The OZ -- a post-punk group located in the very heart of the true underground of St. Petersburg -- Russia's cultural and revolutionary capitol!
The Oz stresses that this is not your ordinary cover album.
"The main idea for the album is to show a life of a man through the songs, words and life of John," says Igor Salnikov of The Oz. "The sound is made 'a little' more aggressive than John used to do, but still the songs have the same melodic beauty and power. The goal was to understand all sorts of 'revolutions' that John Lennon experienced during his life, just as a regular human being and to put them into the realities of the present world. We try to show a little different understanding of John Lennon and really hope that people will see what we mean."
Note: Don't miss The OZ version of 'God'! Thousands of listeners from all over the world have already noticed the absolute uniqueness of this interpretation.
