Moral Code X is a Russian rock band founded in 1989 by famous Moscow producer and poet Pavel Zhagun and saxophonist Sergey Mazayev to play "reactive" Big Beat . The debut album by Moral Code X was called ''Sotryasenie Mozga'' (Russian for "brain concussion"), and was filled with strict big-beat drums in combination with INXS -like guitar riffs and psycho lyrics by Zhagun. The song "Dosvidanya mama" (Russian for "goodbye mama") became a main single of this album. Several video clips were shot in 1990. In the early 1990s, Moral Code X was recognized as the most promising and popular rock band in Russia but their second album ''Gibkij Stan'' ("Flexible Camp") wasn't very successful. Some in-band disagreements appeared after this release, due to frontman Sergey Mazaev's problems with alcohol. The band temporarily left the Russian mainstream scene. In 1997 Moral Code X started recording their third album, ''Horoshie Novosti'' ("Good News") which was finally released in 2000. This album had a brand-new sound and a lot of hit songs. It was a revival for the band. In 2004 drummer Yuriy Kistenev left the band, and Mazaev invited new drummer Zak Salivan from New York . After a while the band made some new recordings for the next album at the Abbey Road Studios in London. Chris Kimsey , who worked with Rolling Stones and INXS, was the Record Producer for the album ''Slavianskie Tancy'' ("Slavic Dances"). The band played a popular set on the Moscow stage as part of the 2005 Live 8 concert. PERSONNEL
