The history of this band starts in the seventies when the movie “Captain Future” was released for the first time. This movie inspired the Russian animators to make a rip-off called “The Mystery of The Third Planet”. The music was also stolen. Many many years later this music inspired few guys from St Petersburg to combine retro analog space-pop with lounge creating a wonderful mix of space vibe and relaxing lounge. The name they choose comes from the names of the main heroes from the soviet movie – Kim and Buran.

Kim & Buran is the brainchild of the young electronic artist Slava Zavyalov. Live he is also supported by a bass player, a drummer and a guitarist . Zavyalov is strongly inspired by Soviet cartoon movies from the Seventies. He is not using any computers, but only Soviet synthesizers.
They already have five albums of this awesome music that can be described as easy listening soviet-style electronics. It reminds of robots, spaceships, planets far away, but mostly it reminds of the good old space.
