Background notes

Archive material and source history

The KGB formed around Anatoly, a Russian-born musician who brought together a group of players including Boris on keyboards, Dimitri on guitar, Ivan on bass, and Yuri on drums. They put out their first album 'From Moscow with Love' in 1985, followed by 'Red Star' in 1987 and 'Agent 56' in 1989. Their songs like 'Agent 56' and 'Blues From A Spaceship' had a certain atmospheric quality that drew listeners in.

Their music sometimes got them into trouble, with some people reading political meanings into their lyrics or questioning their intentions. They kept making records anyway, releasing 'The Man from U.N.C.L.E.' in 1991 and 'The Omega Man' in 1993. The track 'Agent 56' became their most recognizable song, with its spy-themed lyrics and memorable melody.

After their last album in the early 1990s, The KGB stopped putting out new music. Their recordings, particularly songs like 'American Child' and 'Fortune And Fame,' still find listeners who appreciate their particular blend of sounds.
