Rodion GA's music has remained all but unknown to most of the world, until its recent rediscovery and release by Strut. The group was in fact just one man, with a rotating cast of musicians, although his best known hit (performed on New Year's Eve TV in Romania) was a multitrack of his own playing. Only two Rodion GA tracks ever saw official release, both on Romanian state-run label Electrecord’s Formatti Rock Vol 5 compilation. The 'group' performed throughout the 80s and composed scores for the film Delta Space Mission and the Romanian National Opera, but the majority of their work remained suppressed, despite avoidance of explicitly political content and the overwhelming popularity of their radio-only singles.
