NSRD or Nebijušu Sajūtu Restaurēšanas Darbnīca (Latvian: "Restoration Workshop of Unprecedented Feelings") was a musical group from Latvia. They played experimental/electronic music with influences of new wave and new-age.
The band was formed in 1982 by Hardijs Lediņš, architect and DJ, and Juris Boiko, universal artist. In the early years they played electronic avant-garde. They were pioneers of this kind of music in Latvia. Along with their fellow musicians Dzeltenie Pastnieki (who were more popular than NSRD), they were the first new wave musicians in the Latvian SSR. Their records were available only on magnetic tape.
As they were so untraditional in the Latvian music scene, they didn't gain a lot of popularity in the 1980s. Nowadays their music is popular among collectors and music fans.
