The different points of view set forth in the ten short songs on this album are guaranteed to make you smile. The album starts off with a youngster celebrating the post-Soviet era in “Jumping Off Lenin's Head.” “Saucer Abduction” reveals the surprising story behind junk food, while “Mocha Java Jive” takes you on a night flight to Java to get a mug of mocha. But the standout cut is “Venus Fly-By,” an irresistable pop love song that’s interplanetary and down-to-Earth at the same time. Two equally distinctive instrumentals round out the set.
