In the late 70's in the students' club of the Latvian State Conservatory Janis Lusens organized a rock-group, named "Zodiac", almost exclusively concentrating upon studio work. Their first album, "Disco Alliance", recorded in 1980, turned out to be a block-buster on the Soviet stage. LP's, issued in large quantities, sold out immediately across the country.
