Provenance / liner notes (English translation)

Current text

The band's first tape album, self-released on cassette in 1997-1998, Daugavpils, recorded at Vantuz's home on his 4-channel mixing desk. The album's title is explained in the band's biography: the word "Izoptitsa" only made sense once the next album came out, since the song "Это из-за птиц" ("It's Because of the Birds") no longer fit on this one. This is the official 18-track version of the album from the band's Bandcamp page (with Intro and Outro). Songwriting/vocals: Vaida wrote and sang "Солнышко", "Brivibas Piemineklis", "Мэрри Гипус", "Пулю пущу", "На пол Яне", "К нулю", "Здравствуй, милая девочка" and "Зеленая"; the rest (aside from Intro/Outro) is Ryb. The original cassette had one more Ryb track, "Куда попал", not included on the official Bandcamp version. Digitized to MP3 320 kbps.
