 Same year the MDP recorded at Asparez studio their first prog-suite—the River—which today is mentioned in all anthologies of Armenian rock.Next few years the band spent in Russia and released their another album, "Take Your Nibbled Apple Back", which boasted eerie vocal experimentations with female vocals.In 2002, the MDP recorded a very unexpected single, "Falling in Love/Should I", which incorporated trip-hop elements, but this was short-lived, since the reviews in British and American press would stress that they are particularly great at playing heavier stuff than Portishead/Sylvian moods.
