Ψ (album)

Boris Grebenshchikov about the album:

Someone once remarkably told me that the album is very similar to a postcard from today. I then argued very much with this, and then I came to the same conclusion. And the album “Psi” is a whole postcard from today, it is exactly what we are now. And we are exactly what time is today. And again, I like it terribly. No concept ... nothing ... This record is a mirror image of what is. (Presentation "Ψ" on the radio station "Samara-Maximum". ^[1] )
