Artem Troitsky - “Tbilisi is a city of surprises”
1989
“Tbilisi is a city of surprises” – in these words famous rock-critic Artio Trotsky expressed his anxiety, when unexpectedly discovered such a non-conformist rock-group as “Gatekili Sarkeebis Motsmendili Tsa” (“Clear sky of Broken Mirrors”), called “Retsepti” (“Recipe”) in the past. Then Artio Troitsky added: “I feel myself with you as in Manchester. I like that you have courage of creating such music… It is for the first time I have heard real Georgian rock, not from geographical-territorial point of view, but created from the depth of soul and from roots of Georgian culture. I am amazed, why you are not famous here.”
