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, $19.00)

Ait! - Romanticismo Oltranzista (Punch Records)
Label info: "Ladies and Gentlemen: Mr. AIT! is back at last to reveal himself with a new kinky show
for those of you having lost their heart in a dark Italian discotheque, some thirty years ago.
With a couple of hard-boiled songs and a boxful of extremist love letters
this obscure erotique one man orchestra gets its stylish fists right into the face of today's fashion kids. Too strong to be pussy. Too pussy to be romantic. A bizarre cup of circus fun served in a Jess Franco ballet dance through hell.
Remember the mirrorballs and watch this whole unique striptease from lounge to funk to rock'n'punk. Everything in here, more than a spicy cocktail. All shaken not stirred. A punch of its own!"
(CD, digipak with 28-page booklet, $21.00)

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.
(CD, cardboard sleeve, out of stock)
Macelleria Mobile di Mezzanotte - Black Rubber Exotica (Old Europa Cafe)
Second CD release after the 2002 debut on OEC. Crime jazz, snuff noise and drunken atmospheres suitable for cocktails and gambling in a James Ellroy novel. Las Vegas power electronics indeed! Snuff-electronics ! Features contributions from Spiritual Front, DBPIT and more.

Macelleria Mobile Di Mezzanotte / Profile - La Dalia Nera (Sin Organisation)
Split release by Italian martini-guzzlers Profile and M.M.M., whose recent albums on Old Europa Cafe are definitely worth seeking out. Dedicated to James Ellroy's "The Black Dahlia", this release is a great mix of loungy crime jazz / film noir soundtracks with modern dark ambient sensibilities, conjuring up images of dames in nylon stockings flirting with shady PI's in smoke-filled cocktail bars. Fun stuff as always.
(Pro-printed CD-R, oversized A5 color sleeve, $14.00)

Macelleria Mobile Di Mezzanotte / Profile - L'Ultimo Vero Bacio (Old Europa Cafe)
Label info: "A long obscure Crime Jazz Industrial soundtrack for Hard Boiled and Pulp situations, Night Club, Femmes Fatale, Revolver and Vendetta. In debt with Chandler, Hammett, Cain, Spillane, Thompson, Goodies, Williams, Ellroy, Malet, Izzo, Giovanni, Le Breton...
True Malavita Industrial from Rome. For the first time presenting many female voices, this is for sure their more obsessed and glamorous dark-mafia-jazz album so far!"

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.
