At the same time, on the audio market, the vinyl branch of music began stirring back to life, and almost every store got a designated section with black discs only – people began writing about them and it became a trendy topic. The trigger that released Paz’s incredible imagination was a photo of a man in combat boots, holding an AK-47, surrounded by an amazing number of records.

It was incredible in the sense that he lived very close to Paz, in Brooklyn. And that’s how the story begins.
