Aavikko - History of Muysic (Solnze Records)
Aavikko's music comes across as the bastard offspring of 60's surf rock, TV game show muzak and MIDI disco anthems. It's also entertaining and infectious enough to go beyond the novelty factor. This CD is a compilation of practically all of their non-album material, meaning tracks from singles, EPs and live, unreleased and collaboration tracks.
(CD, clear jewel case, $14.00)

End - The Sounds of Disaster (Solnze Records)
CD re-release of the album with 3 extra remixes by Messer Chups. The soundtrack to a spy movie set during the apocalypse. Rockabilly, surf anthems, breakcore and faux jazz are seamlessly collaged into track-sized pieces of manic glee, the sort that titles like "To Hell With Everyone" and "Good Riddance" hint at in a clear manner. No three-line blurb can do justice to this release.

Kim & Buran - Rock n' Robot (Solnze Records)
Second full-length album from Kim & Buran, back with more cheerful robopop ditties than you can shake a theremin at. Pop open that can of motor oil, load up your happy.cfg file and get ready to party!

Kim & Buran - Kosmos For Children (Solnze Records)
Kim & Buran are strongly inspired by psychedelic Soviet cartoons from the 70's and 80's, and the CD artwork even features two of the evil robotic henchmen from "Tayna tretey planety" if I'm not mistaken (many thanks to M.M. for sharing this gem with me). Their debut release "Kosmos for Children" is a pleasant brew of retro lounge muzak, playful robo-jazz and cartoon music. It has many similarities with the above-mentioned movie's own score, including the bubbling sounds of Soviet synthesizers. Melancholic at times, upbeat at others, this debut release has definitely found its rightful home among Solnze's roster.

Messer Chups - Vamp Babes Upgrade Version 2004 (Solnze Records)
Revamped version of their sold-out 2000 release, with rerecorded tracks that also gain much from the added presence of Lydia Kavina's mastery of the theremin. This is one for the groovy ghouls, surfin' skeletons and lounge-lovin' werewolves out there. Also includes two great bonus videos for "Go, Satan, Go!" and "Super Megera".

Messer Chups - Hyena Safari (Solnze Records)
The band's 8th album, released in late 2005. This time they're going at it with a slightly more instrumental approach, emphasizing the adrenaline-fueled spy-surf rock that is at the band's heart. Don't panic, the sounds effects and samples are still there. While I do personally miss Lydia Kavina's theremin, it is hard not to be swayed by the sexy stylings and great riffs of tracks such as "Hexe Chips" and "Charade?". As usual, the CD includes bonus videos whose 60's pulp horror esthetics perfectly match up with the music.

Messer Chups - Black Black Magic (Solnze Records)
Label info: "This Russian masterpiece twists you outta this world. Black Black Magic is Messer Chups most musical release. 50’s B-Movie soundtracks, the guitar at times reminiscent of Ricky King, Sci-Fi Horror ala Ed Wood, the erotique of Russ Meyer – all in perfect combination with Lydia Kavina's (niece of Lev Termen, Theremin inventor) Theremin to mutate a sound so retro, that it sounds like the future.
The video for 'Go Satan Go' features Russian Playmate of the year Natalya Simakova, guaranteeing even more kitsch."

Oleg Kostrow - Imago (Solnze Records)
"Imago" is a soundtrack to a theater play by the same name written by Maxim Kurochkin. The material here is composed and recorded by Oleg Kostrow, one of the two members of Messer Für Frau Müller. Pretty much indistinguishable from MFFM, the tracks on this CD feature the same combination of light-hearted lounge / exotica with playful Jean-Jacques Perrey-style electronics.

Solomon Schwartz - Et Son Orchestra (Solnze Records)
Traditional Jewish folk songs performed as twist tunes, supposedly by the enigmatic Solomon Schwartz back in 1963. If this is indeed the real background story or a cleverly concealed side-project involving Solnze staff we'll never know, but this album is a gem of positively euphoric, joyous and catchy music. Mazel Tov!
