Tuman (song)

"Tuman", meaning "fog" in Russian, is a song by the Russian band Kommunizm. It was released in 1990.

History

The song was written by Aleksandr Kolker in 1967 for the soundtrack to the film The Chronicle of a Dive Bomber.

In 1989, the Russian poet Egor Letov recorded a version for his band Kommunizm's album Khronika pikiruyushchego bombardirovshchika. It appears twice on the album: once as track 1, and the second time as track 17, as an instrumental titled "Khronika pikiruyushchego bombardirovshchika". Before the 2011 LP reissue of Khronika pikiruyushchego bombardirovshchika, the title track faded out at the 1:53 mark, but it was restored to its natural length on the LP, revealing some previously-hidden vocals. It was faded out again on the 2014 version, however this time, ten seconds of silence were placed at the end

From 1991 to 1992, when Egor i Opizdenevshie's second album Sto let odinochestva was being recorded, Letov listened to "Tuman" and thought the recording from KPB was good enough to include on the album, so it was put on.

Tuman (album)

Tuman is a studio album of Sofia Rotaru released in the very beginning of 2007. The CD includes mostly unreleased, but already aired songs, although only a selection of them. It is a multilingual album, hence traditional edition for Sofia Rotaru. It includes popular duet with Nikolay Baskov "Raspberries Blossom" and dance remix of "White Dance", which marked in 2001 a new wave in the repertoire of Sofia Rotaru. The last song of the album "One Guelder Rose (or One Snowball Tree) was one of the most popular songs of Sofia Rotaru in Ukrainian for the last three years.
