Album Notes

Exotic, playful and full of fantasy and imagination - electronica, lounge and easy listening from Russia. Nostalgic and futuristic, surreal and ironic. Mysterious East and modern Europe meet. Psychedelic electronic sounds - dance, dream and enjoy. Welcome to Café Sputnik!

This highly individual kind of music, located somewhere between lounge, easy listening and radical experimentation is most of all cultivated by Moscow labels Snegiri/Legkie and Solnze Records. This scene’s creativity is getting more and more recognition. Igor Vdovin has been hired as a producer by
Russian superstar Zemfira. Bands like Messer für Frau Müller and Messer Chups are gaining popularity in the Western world. This mix of old and new, mysterious East and modern Europe makes this music so unique and fascinating. This compilation shows a somewhat different side of popular music in Russia. Take off and enjoy!
