Sweet Sleep (Russian: Сладкий сон) is a Soviet and Russian music group, popular in the 1990s.[1] Its most popular songs are "Black Thunderstorm" and "Night February".
History[edit]
At the end of 1989, producer Vladimir Maslov organized the pop group The Bright Path. Its soloist was unknown to Aleksei Svetlichny. They released Magneto, an album with 6-7 songs.[2] The other participants were Oleg Khromov and Sergei Vasyuta.[3]
The group then broke up. In 1991 Khromov and Vasyuta each released their own albums. On both albums there are songs "White Cover of January" and "Night February".[4]
The authorship of many of their compositions is disputed by the musicians.[5][6] Most sources who tell about the group since 1992 to the present day are based on data from Vasyuta, who is currently the owner of the Sweet Sleep trademark and claims authorship of most of the group's songs.[7]
In the middle 1990s, Maslov made an attempt to create a group with the same name. They released two albums with the vocals of Samoshin and Ruslan Maslov (Vladimir's son). Vasyuta took Maslov to court and won the case; the next album of Maslov-Samoshin team did not mention Sweet Sleep.[8]
Vasyuta continues to promote the group. He releases albums and tours. Sweet Sleep appears on television. Most of the time, Vasyuta performs in Germany. In Russia he performs at corporate festivals with 1980's stars.[9]
In October 2000, Vasyuta was reportedly unable to tour and was looking for a performance double.[10]
