Dzeltenie Pastnieki

Dzeltenie Pastnieki Are A Latvian Band Formed In 1981 In Rīga Latvia. Their Name Means "the Yellow Postmen" In Latvian And Is Sometimes Abbreviated To DzP. They Were Among The Pioneers Of New Wave As Well As Reggae In The Former Soviet Union. The Music Has Ranged From Guitar/bass/drums-Based Post-Punk To Minimal Synthpop To Experimental Tape Manipulation. Their First Six Albums 1981-1987 Were Home-Recorded Using Consumer Tape Recorders And Distributed By Means Of Magnitizdat On 1/4" Reel-To-Reel Tape And Compact Cassette With No Artwork. Despite Popular Demand Throughout The 1990s None Of These Albums Was Released Properly Until 2003 When Baušķenieks Began Issuing Them On Compact Disc On His Own Label Ingus Baušķenieka Ieraksti. Contemporary Latvian Composer Mārtiņš Brauns Has Said That Dzeltenie Pastnieki Influenced The Entire Latvian Scene Including Himself And Even Raimonds Pauls. The Band's Work Of The 1980s Has Often Been Praised By Leading Russian Music Critic Artemy Troitsky.
