    "Technology" - techno-pop group (Moscow). Founded in 1990 by members of the Bioconstructor group Leonid Velichkovsky (keyboards), Andrey Kokhaev (keyboards, percussion) and Roman Ryabtsev (keyboards, vocals).

    After lead singer Alexander Yakovlev left Bioconstructor in 1990, the musicians spent several months sampling sounds and searching for a new vocalist. As a result, Vladimir Nechitailo joined Technology.

    In the same year, recording of the debut album “Everything You Want” began and low-budget video clips for four songs were shot. The group participated in the competition for young performers "Morning Star" with the compositions Strange Dances, Songs About Nothing, Half an Hour.

    In April 1991, Technology began collaborating with producer Yuri Aizenshpis, who helped the group complete and release their first album.

    The most popular songs were Strange Dances and Press the Button, written and performed by Roman Ryabtsev (for 14 months, Strange Dances was in the top ten of the “Sound Track” hit parade of the Moskovsky Komsomolets newspaper). Video clips were also shot for these songs. On the initiative of Vladimir Nechitailo, a fan club of electronic music lovers Long Play was created, the official publication of which was the newspaper of the same name.

    In 1992, Technology took part in the Rock-Summer festival in Tallinn and recorded an album of remixes “I Don’t Need Information” - for the first time in Russian show business. The group also gave several sold-out solo concerts in Moscow (Sports Palace in Luzhniki) and Leningrad (SKK "Yubileiny" - 16,000 spectators at each of the 3 concerts!). According to the results of a survey by the Moskovsky Komsomolets newspaper, Leonid Velichkovsky took 2nd place in the Composer of the Year nomination. The group toured a lot in Russian cities, sometimes giving four concerts a day.

    In the fall of 1992, the group stopped collaborating with Yuri Aizenshpis, and Roman Ryabtsev actually left the group, going to France to record a solo album under a contract with Radio France Internationale, and at the end of September 1993 he announced his final departure. A few months later, Andrei Kokhaev leaves the group. Leonid Velichkovsky begins producing singer Lada Dance.

    In 1994, the album “Sooner or Later” was released - the last joint work of the musicians of the original composition, the material for which was recorded in 1993.

    In 1996, the group Technology appeared again, but with an updated lineup: Vladimir Nechitailo (vocals), Maxim Velichkovsky (keyboards), Victor Burko and Kirill Mikhailov - released the album "This is War", designed in the style of techno-pop.

    Over the course of 10 years of his solo career, Roman Ryabtsev released four discs: 2 compilations: “Strange Dances” - which included songs recorded in France, and “Golden Collection” + 2 albums: “If I become different” (Union) and “Red Day” calendar" (JAM). He devoted the rest of his time to working as an arranger and sound producer in his own studio. He has several albums to his credit ("Kar-Man", "Miami", "Rise!", etc.) and many (about 30!) remixes for different artists.

    In 2003, the long-awaited reunion of the two main vocalists of the Technology group, Roman Ryabtsev and Vladimir Nechitailo, took place. Two young musicians Roman Lyamtsev (synthesizers, vocals, clarinet), Alexey Savostin (synthesizers) join the group. New songs are being recorded and old hits are being polished (the sound is being updated, vocal parts are being re-recorded).

    On September 6, 2003, the group performed for the first time at the concert venue of the former park named after. Gorky in Moscow. At the same time, the JAM company is re-releasing 4 official albums of musicians in new design, with bonus tracks and remastered sound, the first edition of which is selling out at lightning speed.

    In 2004-2005, the group actively toured Russian cities, recording new material along the way. At the end of 2005, the third member of the original composition of the group, Andrey Kokhaev, returned to the group. And earlier Roman Lyamtsev left the group, who was replaced by Matvey Yudov, also known as Babymax. And so the composition of the group at the moment: Vladimir Nechitailo, Roman Ryabtsev, Andrey Kokhaev, Matvey Yudov and Alexey Savostin.

    On March 4, 2006, the single “Give Fire” went on sale in a limited edition, which included several songs from the future disc. This single was called “Give Fire” - after the name of the cult song of the Alliance group, a cover version of which should be included in the new Technology album. Also in March, the group spent several days in Yalta filming a video for the song “Brave New World”.

    At the moment, the new album "Impossible Connections" has been completely recorded and mixed, but for various reasons the JAM company has not yet released the record.
