The most incredible and wonderful thing: to write a book and learn that it helped inspire a fabulous album of Uzbek Disco, Tajik Folktronica, Uyghur Rock & Tatar Jazz from 1980s Soviet Central Asia. It is my album of the year - hands down. Fantastic tunes !

Thank you Prof Frankopan! Your book also inspired this compilation and it’s quoted in the liner notes 🤙🏽
