Album Info

Release Date: 2005

Label: Eastblok Music

Excerpt from the liner notes: "Like Sputniks, the musicians are orbiting the earth, assimilating stimulations from the whole world. Igor Vdovin sends Russian sailors to Brazil and a gypsy band to outer space. Dima Vikhornov and Snegopady demonstrate what Russian folk music might sound like when played by Martians. Veteran DJs Krugozory (66 and 67 years old) confront pompous military marches with nursery rhymes, refining the melange with a bit of light Soviet jazz. Messer Chups pass Tchaikovsky’s nutcracker into alien hands, where it is deconstructed and reassembled."

Enhanced CD including two video tracks: Messer für Frau Müller – The Best Girl In The USSR (MPEG1 format) and Nezhnoye Eto – A Little Bit Of Nothing (PC exe file).

Packaged in a 6-panel digipak.
