2004 New Era
Life in 2007
An instrumental album recorded after Bogaev had a nightmare about dying in 2007 and watching life go on from beyond. Nikolay Lyskovsky (keyboards), Valery Zhuravlyov (drums) and Dmitry Kulikovsky (saxophone) took part in the recording. The album turned out diverse and interesting — Bogaev revealed himself as a distinctive composer, stepping far beyond hard rock. Never officially released.

Beginning
2:33 Album story
The second fully instrumental album, recorded in the mid-90s. Reworked and polished into a proper album in 2004.
According to Sergey Bogaev, he was inspired to create an album with this title by a nightmare. In 2004, he dreamt that he would die in 2007; life would naturally go on, and he would seemingly watch what was happening from the other side. Under the impression of this dream, he "dug through his archives", compiled his unused recordings, titled them, and formatted it as an instrumental album. Then somehow it was all forgotten, but the master tape remained. When the time came to reissue the entire Oblachny Krai discography, he stumbled upon it. After listening to it and finding it quite interesting, he decided to release the album.
