46 is the second studio album by the Soviet rock band Kino. It was recorded in 1983 at the AnTrop studio. The album consisted of demos of songs written by the band's singer, Viktor Tsoi. It was largely dismissed by Tsoi as a "rehearsal tape" for Nachalnik Kamchatki, with many of the songs in 46 being used in the later album.[1] Despite this, fans viewed it as the band's second album.[2] The band has never recognized it as a legitimate album.[3]
Neil Davidson of AllMusic described the album as a "bunch of lo-fi demos, mainly recorded with very little or no accompaniment beyond the odd half-hearted overdub," and gave it a two-star rating.[4]
