Ruja
Ruja was one of the foremost Estonian rock bands of the 1970s and 1980s. The name of the band comes from a neologism "ruja", for science fiction, though there are people who believe that "ruja" is actually made up of the first letters of the band's important members (R – Rein Rannap, U – Urmas Alender, J – Jaanus Nõgisto and A – Andrus Vaht). The band released their first and self-titled album in 1979. Many of the original melodies of Ruja were composed by Rein Rannap. The band was created by Rein Rannap in 1971 while in the 11th grade. Ruja's 3 first members were Rein Rannap, Urmas Alender and Andrus Vaht. On September 28, 1994, the band's lead singer, Urmas Alender, died in the sinking of passenger ferry M/S Estonia. After Alender's funeral concert a couple of days later, the remaining members of the band decided never to perform under the name of "Ruja" again.

Progressive Rock
Progressive rock (shortened as prog rock or simply prog; sometimes conflated with art rock) is a broad genre of rock music that developed in the United Kingdom and United States through the mid- to late 1960s, peaking in the early 1970s. Initially termed "progressive pop", the style was an outgrowth of psychedelic bands who abandoned standard pop traditions in favour of instrumentation and compositional techniques more frequently associated with jazz, folk, or classical music. Additional elements contributed to its " progressive" label: lyrics were more poetic, technology was harnessed for new sounds, music approached the condition of "art", and the studio, rather than the stage, became the focus of musical activity, which often involved creating music for listening rather than dancing. Progressive rock is based on fusions of styles, approaches and genres, involving a continuous move between formalism and eclecticism. Due to its historical reception, the scope of progressiv ...

Pust Budet Vsjo
''Pust budet vsjo'' (russian: Пусть будет все) is the fourth album by Estonian rock band Ruja. The album contains Russian language versions of Ruja's songs. It's controversial for the band, because since there was Soviet occupation and russification in Estonia at that time, singing in Russian was against the band's principles. The idea came from a manager, Yuri Altov, who saw Ruja's potential of having success outside Estonia. (The band had done concerts outside Estonia.) Track listing A-side #"Будет свет" ("Budet svet" ''It Will Be Light'') (Urmas Alender, Igor Garšnek, Jaanus Nõgisto/Alender; translation Ivan Makarov) - 3:30 #"Белизна" ("Belizna" ''Whiteness'') (Alender/Makarov) - 3:26 #"Дети солнца" ("Deti solntsa" ''Children of the Sun'') (Nõgisto; translation Makarov) - 4:01 #"Гроза" ("Groza" ''Lightning'') (Garšnek/Makarov) - 3:26 #"Предчувствие зимы" ("Predchuvstvie zimy" ''Foreboding Winters'') (Garšnek/Mak ...
