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.
