Torrent description

REGINA SPEKTOR - FAR, album released June 22nd 2009.
Encoded 320Kbps CBR [Lame] mp3. Covers included.

Regina Spektor [born February 18th 1980 in Moscow, Russian SFSR] is a Soviet-born American singer-songwriter and pianist. In New York, Spektor studied classical piano with Sonia Vargas, a professor at the Manhattan School of Music, until she was 17, Spektor's father had met Vargas through her husband, violinist Samuel Marder. Although the family had been unable to bring their piano from Russia, Spektor found a piano on which to play in the basement of her synagogue, and also practiced on tabletops and other hard surfaces. Spektor was originally interested only in classical music, but later became interested in hip hop, rock and punk as well. Spektor's songs are not usually autobiographical, but rather are based on scenarios and characters drawn from her imagination. Her songs show influences from folk, punk, rock, Jewish, Russian, hip hop, jazz and classical music. Spektor has said that she works hard to ensure that each of her songs has its own musical style, rather than trying to develop a distinctive style for her music as a whole. Since self-releasing her own albums in 2001, 2002 and 2003 Spektor has risen sharply in popularity, with 'Far' being only her third album to be released outside the United States. Often compared to musicians as diverse as Bjork and Chopin, Spektor is one of the biggest successes to emerge from the New York anti-folk scene.

'Far' is the fifth studio album by American alternative singer-songwriter Regina Spektor, released in Europe on June 22th 2009 and North America on June 23th 2009. Far entered the official UK Albums Chart at No.30. It also sold 50,000 copies in its first week, entering the US Billboard 200 at No.3. In the Canadian Albums Chart, 'Far' debuted at No.16. The album's first single, 'Laughing With', was released as a digital download on May 18th 2009 in the United States and parts of Europe, along with the b-side 'Blue Lips'.
