That is my favorite song from that album, and it stands alone from the rest of the tracks because it is an airy instrumental, very simple and with no pretense. The band makes use of some Russian percussion (heh, I like how that sounds) and other instruments throughout the album. It's kind of an uneven album, and at times the vocalist sounds high or drunk, but that was sort of the norm back then. Digging around earlier trying to find into about the band I read they apparently came from a part of Canada with a concentrated Russian or Slavic population, and so there's that influence in the music. And troyka means three in Russian. I think this re-release happened in 2003.
