Neo-lounge/Russian kitsch/60s movie mash over jazz loops and/or electro. Interesting gimmick, good for a song, but not for a whole album. Project of Oleg Gitarkin (Messer Chups). Stuff i wouldn't feel bad playing little bits and pieces of. Picks 1,4,9,13
**1-2:57) simmering jazz brushed snare, snaps, lots of funny effects, screams, Russian, surf guitar. Horn
2-3:03) Cheap electronic dance, with thermin on top. Loop of "funny man" over slow rhythm changes.
3-3:11) Funky/dubby guitar over electro dance, with weird slapstick broken up by intermittent Russian dialogue over faux movie-soundtrack. Abrupt end.
**4-3:21) Lo-fi synth bloops, some Russian. Then a more cartoony jazz hi-hat, and 60s space synth. Bassoon and violin lines, and surf guitar. Abrupt end, then static wash fades out.
5-4:05) Electro-spy. Sax, surf guitar.
*6-0:54) Weird dreamy singing "its not place for me" with sweeping strings before breaking into a funny beat middle-easterny beat.
7-4:15) Avalanche style beat almost, lots of silly samples on top. Abrupt end.
*8-2:07) Russian dialogue, Jazz, 50s space synth, electro-glitch.
*9-4:05) Mid/fast. Russian dialogue. Jazz hammond, looped jazz lounge, exotica noises. Martin Dennyish. Grapelli-ish loop that is cool at -1:55. A real kitchen sink production.
10-1:18) Slow, lazy jazz hi-hat beat. Lots of silly effects, 60s movie sndtrk noises.
11-3:54) Sesame street dialogue. 40s cartoon sample intro. Fast 3rd gen. ska/surf guitar beat. Goofy. Lots of sesame voices saying "meow".
12-3:37) Russian diagolue. Surf guitar. Vocal samples "duke of earl", sax skronking.
*13-4:08) Cheesy electronica from foreign 80s pop.
String cadences, female sighs, synth. Ends on fade of alien in the video game "Asteroids"
14-1:17) Dialogue and jazzy things.
15-2:46) Electro-beat. samples.
16-2:53) Mid. Essentially surf. Horns, clarinet. Ends on cymbal crash fade.
17-3:14) Dreamy harp. electro 60s lounge. Female vox singing in Russian with prominent harp. Ends abruptly.
