My years are dry and solitary Hollow sound on the streets How can I reach my hand to you, my warm childhood, When years effete me Apostles: "Requiem", 1975 (officialy unreleased) Meschian solo: "The Monologue of an insane violinist", 1992 "Catharsis", 1995 "Wander", 1995 "Communion", 1996

Years of "Apostles" never produced any official studio album. The only recording studio in the USSR "Melodia" never released the planned disk, which was supposed to be named "Requiem". Despite all the censure and pressure, fans in Armenia managed to obtain and distribute their bootlegs and live records. Especially popular was the concert by "Apostles" at the Yerevan stadium in 70's.

Meschian starts singing after all the attempts to rebuild the band failed. His first album recorded on "H&D" was entitled "The Monologue of an insane violinist" with all the new songs. His subsequent albums featured both old works from "Apostles" and new songs. Especially popular was "Catharsis" with some of the best and well-known songs of the Apostle-era such as "Stars", "Steps" and "Where were you, God?" with the B side devoted mainly to his newly created works like "Days" and "Peace be with you". The album called "Wander" featured mostly old tracks which became classical. His final album "Communion" featured one vocal-instrumental opus recorded on both sides of the album. Here Meschian shows his outlook into religion.
