Their first radio hit Сид и Нэнси (Sid & Nancy)get on radio on 2002 and became a hymn for huge part of teenagers who found in Lumen’s lyrics their own ego and recognized that they are soul-mates. Than two of their songs C4 and Сколько (“How much?”) approached same destiny as “Sid and Nancy”.

Two songs from album “Tri Puti” (tr.: Three Ways) which was released on 2004, became to be radio-hits as well. Lumen performed on regional music festivals as a headlines; every year they got offers for acting on huge Russian festivals.

(tr.: Breathe) And again musicians did not get full output and result from promised deals from record-labels. When the terms of the contract with record-label has finished, the band decided to makes everything by their own and be in race from outside. In process of work under next album bass player leaved the band exactly for few weeks before starting of the promotion tour. Nevertheless, not any concert which planned in support-tour was cancelled. Evgeniy "Shmel" Trishin was invited in membership as the sessional musician. 2007 year becomes for LUMEN a really breakthrough. In the beginning of April the band presented a new concert program “Pravda?” (tr.: Truth?)

2)Lumen was formed in San Francisco, CA by several individuals who collectively despise post-rock. Originally a bedroom project of old bandmates Jeff R. and Jeff K., Lumen evolved to become something larger and stranger. Now residing between LA and Oakland, the four Lumens labor and toil in fits to create their bizarrely anthemic songs. Why bizarre? Imagine a fingerpicked acoustic guitar performing counterpoint with the warm upright bass, all resting atop the blankets of organs and accordian. Now place that in the context of Andee from A Minor Forest's amazingly loud and penetrating heavy metal polyrhythms. Yet the music ranges towards the land of the metal ballad, or perhaps the one Yes song you actually would put on a mixtape. Forget the fact that Rosenberg was previously in Tarentel; Lumen pulls from a whole new bag of tricks! They embody melancholia and triumph, conviction and loss, days of yore and future.

2001 "The Man Felt An Iron Hand Grasp Him By The Hair, At The Nape. Not One Hand, A Hundred Hands Seized Him, Each By The Hair, And Tore Him Head To Foot, The Way You Tear Up A Sheet Of Paper, Into Hundreds Of Little Pieces." on Temporary Residence

3)A stoner/screamo band from the Czech Republic actually called Lvmen!
Several albums released on Day After Records.

4)Lumen is also the name the duo Pinkie Maclure & John Wills have released an album called "This day and age" under, although they are now performing as either Pumajaw or using their own names. Willis conjures up energetic, well-judged backing, never too much, but just enough to frame Maclure's marvellous voice. The combination draws on Thirties cabaret, musique concrète, free jazz and modern dance music to produce a unique and incredibly self-assured sound.

5)There is also an electronic/trance artist by the name of Chris Conklin who performs as Lumen; The album esperanto belongs to this artist.

6) Lumen are also a Portuguese group of folk/celtic/world music. They incorporate traditional and modern instruments in both traditional songs from the northern Iberian Peninsula and their own original songs.
