Misha's mom gave titled this track 'Expansion' on behalf of Igor Trank, "because Misha was dominant in many areas of life"
The day Mikhail died, Igor wrote:
"Why do the most talented people leave so early?!?
I have known Misha for a long time, and without exaggeration, he is one of the most interesting, erudite and talented people I know. Together we made parties in basements, studios, when it was not mainstream ... there were so many plans, so many tracks were not recorded, so many live together were not played ...
Misha bravely fought the disease for the last 5-6 years and it was painful to see how he was suffering, but I was always inspired by his courage and love of life, and the plans he made for life made me believe that he would definitely recover.
I'm immensely glad to meet you. Rest in peace, friend."
One year later Igor posted: "A year has passed without Misha ... I still cannot believe and accept, but it is as it is. Yet Mikhail is always there in memories, photographs and his music.
With the permission of Inessa Shevchenko, Roman Kurgan and I started rendering Misha's unreleased tracks. I will not talk about how cool these compositions are and their number. Let me just say that the first 10 tracks have already been sent to NXT recordings, for which I express my deep gratitude to the label managers. Bringing Misha's unpublished works to life is an opportunity for all of us to be with him. After all, Misha is alive while his Music is alive."
Inessa added "As well as for 'Roman Directness, I gave the names to these compositions myself, since Igor Tranko and Roman Kurgan did not dare to do this and they asked me to give the names myself. There is a lot to tell about these guys. They and Misha were colleagues in music, wrote tracks together and knew each other for many years.
At my request, they helped find unreleased tracks, and also raided for several days. According to them, they found 150 unreleased finished tracks. All the music is downloaded to a USB flash drive and is kept by me."
