Biography
See also Zodiac.
Zodiac (Зодиак) was a Soviet Latvian Electronic synthpop band from Riga, Latvia. Founded in 1979 and led by keyboardist and composer Juris Kulakovs, it was called Arka (The Arch). In the very same year, while recording their first album, Juris left the band because of a disagreement with the rest of the members. Keyboardist and composer Janis Lusens took leadership. In 1980, the band was renamed to Zodiac.
The first line-up was:
Janis Lusens - keyboards and composing
Ainars Asmanis - bass guitar
Andris Silis - guitar
Andris Reinis - percussion
Zane Griva - keyboards
All of the members were students at the Latvian State Conservatory. In the beginning, Zodiac played instrumental music only. Since sound equipment during that time was ill-suited to live shows, Zodiac was a studio-type band. In 1980, Zodiac recorded their first album - Disco Alliance. It resembled the type of synthesized electronic music similar to Space, Kraftwerk and Jean-Michel Jarre. Disco Alliance sold 20 million copies in the USSR.
Andris Silis, Zane Griva and Ainars Asmanis left Zodiac, and in 1982, Ivars Pilka (bass guitar), Dzintars Sagens and Aivars Gudrais (both played guitars) joined the band. This line-up recorded their second album Music in the Universe. After recording it, Zodiac broke up. Although Music in Universe didn’t reach Disco Alliance’s commercial success, it was also well-appreciated by listeners.
