The Baltic Way or Baltic Chain (also Chain of Freedom,[1] Estonian: Balti kett, Latvian: Baltijas ceļš, Lithuanian: Baltijos kelias, Russian: Балтийский путь) was a peaceful political demonstration that occurred on August 23, 1989. Approximately two million people joined their hands to form a human chain spanning over 600 kilometres (370 mi) across the three Baltic states Estonian SSR, Latvian SSR, and Lithuanian SSR, republics of the Soviet Union. It marked the 50th anniversary of the MolotovRibbentrop Pact between the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany. The pact and its secret protocols divided Eastern Europe into spheres of influence and led to the occupation of the Baltic states in 1940

Baltijos kelias 650 km (kitais duomenimis 595 km) ilgio susikibusių žmonių grandinė, 1989 m. rugpjūčio 23 d., minint 50-ąsias Ribentropo-Molotovo pakto, panaikinusio Baltijos šalių nepriklausomybę, metines, sustojusi sujungti trijų Baltijos šalių sostines Vilnių, Rygą ir Taliną.
Lygiai 19 val., pasigirdus radijo signalams, šimtų tūkstančių žmonių grandinė nusidriekė nuo Gedimino bokšto Vilniuje per Ukmergę, Panevėžį, Pasvalį, Bauskę, pro laisvės paminklą Rygoje, iki Hermano bokšto Taline. Lietuvos, Latvijos ir Estijos gyventojai susikibdami rankomis sudarė gyvą grandinę per Baltijos valstybes, taip simboliškai atskirdami Baltijos valstybes nuo Sovietų sąjungos, išreikšdami norą būti laisvais. Spėjama, kad iš viso kelyje stovėjo apie 2-2,5 mln. žmonių, iš jų apie 1 mln. iš Lietuvos.

Baltijas ceļš
Baltijas ceļš (igauņu: Balti kett, lietuviešu: Baltijos kelias) bija akcija Baltijas valstīs, kas notika 1989. gada 23. augustā, kad apmēram 2 miljoni cilvēku sadevušies rokās veidoja apmēram 600 km (pēc citiem datiem 595 km) garu dzīvo ķēdi, kas savienoja Baltijas valstu galvaspilsētas (Tallinu, Rīgu un Viļņu). Šī demonstrācija tika sarīkota, lai pievērstu Pasaules uzmanību vēsturiskajiem faktiem, no kuriem cietušas Baltijas valstis. Baltijas ceļš notika tieši 50 gadus pēc Molotova-Rībentropa pakta parakstīšanas, kas notika 1939. gada 23. augustā, kad PSRS un Vācija sadalīja ietekmes sfēras Austrumeiropā.

Balti kett oli 23. augustil 1989 nõukogude võimu mõjutamiseks ja vabadustahte demonstreerimiseks Leedu Sąjūdise, Läti Tautas Fronte ja Eesti Rahvarinde ja Balti Nõukogu algatatud massiüritus, mis kujutas endast läbi kolme Balti riigi kulgevat katkematut inimketti. Balti keti toimumise ajaks valiti Molotovi-Ribbentropi pakti sõlmimise 50. aastapäev, et demonstreerida oma hoiakut selle pakti suhtes.
Balti ketis osalenud inimeste hulka on hinnatud 2 miljonile. Balti kett äratas maailmas suurt tähelepanu ning aitas kaasa Balti riikide iseseisvustaotluste teadvustamisele.

To mark the release of fourth album Eye Contact, Brooklyn's Gang Gang Dance is the latest act to record a 4AD Session. Filmed in early April at Angelic Studios in the heart of rural England, the band convened in a purposefully built 20ft square mirrored room, encased by endless reflections of themselves.
Inspired by the so-called 'infinity rooms' of the seminal Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama, the construction of the space comprised most of the time allotted to recording. Consequently, the session didn't begin until midnight, and continued through until sunrise the next day. Inevitability, the twilight hours suffused the performance with a subtle euphoria, which allayed with the warped environment crated by the mirrors, touched the renditions of 'Glass Jar' and 'Adult Goth' with an otherworldly quality.
With the idea to create all effects live in the space sans digital manipulation, the resulting performance channeled a raw responsiveness to the music as it was being played, as witnessed in the 15 minute take on the visceral dancehall of 'MindKilla' and the Balearic feel of 'Chinese High'. Indeed, spontaneity was key to the entire session. 'MindKilla' was recorded in one take and improvised to include an exclusive airing of previously unreleased track, 'KOU-DA-LEY', while 'Adult Goth' likewise segues into a delirious version of 'Bond'. Adding to the room's ambience, the hanging crystals lent a prismatic quality, rendering the kaleidoscope of Eye Contact in primary colours, and helping mark the session as a true landmark in the series.
