Gina Szanboti Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 X-ray audio, aka, Bone Music. Basically, it's banned music pressed onto used x-ray film to get around cold war Soviet censorship. People would get x-rays hospitals were getting rid of (the government said they had to toss them after a year due to fire hazard) and inscribe the acetate film with grooves from contraband records, tuck a bunch of them up their sleeves, then go sell them on street corners. So you have this old-timey-sounding music (all kinds, from rock to Russian anthems), which always sounds eerily spooky to me anyway, hissing and popping away while some guy's bones revolve hypnotically around the spindle at 78 rpm. Combine with vodka and give birth to the madness of modern day Russia. Like life, music finds a way... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
