Description

The only biography of the band “Mashin a Vremeni” (Time Machine), created with the participation of the band itself. Hours of conversations, memories, discussions—and here it is, restored for beloved readers, the story that came alive in its anniversary year.

Mikhail Margolis, the author of the book and the one who wrote the introduction to the audiobook, is one of the coolest music journalists, a close friend of “Time Machine,” a person of refined taste—judge for yourselves:

“In Russian rock chronicles, ‘Time Machine’ will probably remain the only band that reached its ‘fifty’ without any caveats. Everything else started much later than ‘Time Machine’ and is unlikely to go such a long way. The new reality is becoming more kaleidoscopic every day; the public’s requests have less and less consistency. ‘Time Machine’ has, in turn, developed an almost magical and partly instructive biography. Starting as Soviet ‘Beatles,’ Makar and company have today turned into Russian ‘Rolling Stones,’ at least in terms of chronology and status. For half a century, the group hasn’t had a single serious downtime.”
