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.
Messer Chups is a side project of one of the members of Russia's
Messer fur Frau Muller. Each of their releases is slightly
different in tone - they're all loaded with bits of musical
and spoken samples, ranging from 1950s B-movies to cartoon
sounds.This one, however, focuses more on surf-style guitar
music and theremin. Now there's a combination you don't hear
much of on CD these days! Messer Chups plays with these completely
diverse sounds to create a wonderful musical style all their
own.
As usual, song titles are pretty indicative of the strangeness
- although many of them are listed in Russian only. However,
using software such as RealPlayer on your computer will show
you the English titles, as I discovered. What can you say
about songs called "Cat Religion" or "Cowboys,
Indians and Their Parents"? All you need to know is that
they really do sound both cool and strange.
Aside from 13 excellent songs, there is also a CD-ROM video
included on this disc, "Go Satan Go!," which comes
from Messer Chups' previous release, Vamp Babes (which is
every bit as good as this CD). Run, don't walk, to buy this
CD - and all their others, while you're at it; you won't regret
it!
