Tarkovsky: Solaris – original soundtrack (LP)

Soundtrack composed by Edward Artemiev (& Vyacheslav Ovchinnikov (uncredited)), and performed by unknown musician(s) of the Russian Electronic Music Experiment Studio Ensemble & the ANS synthesizer.
LP originally released by Melodiya as YX-7212-MK, in 1972, and re-released on CD by unknown publisher.

Edward Artemiev is a composer whose name for many people is associated with electronic music. With unusual soundings, easily discernible in the present-day sound environment by their abundance of nuances and unaccountable acoustic comfort. With a peculiar world of imagery, sense of space so striking for the mind.
A wide variety of views on Artemiev’s music is pronounced, dealing with its different aspects such as technical – “it’s impossible to understand the way it’s done”, esthetical – “it’s infinitely beautiful”, and spiritual sides – “an encounter with the truth”.
Artemiev accomplished his academic musical education at the Moscow Conservatoire in Yuri Shaporin’s
