Album Notes
Laika & The Cosmonauts are an all-instrumental band from Finland who play surf music. If that description isn't enticing enough in and of itself, it should also be known that they are some of the pre-eminent practitioners of this genre in the world. Furthermore, THE AMAZING COLOSSAL BAND is perhaps their finest release in a uniformly high-caliber output of albums.
The band's writing has never been more inventive, as they continue to weld beautifully crisp melodies to furiously rocking rhythms. On the opening track, "Delayrium," Matti Pitsinki's organ (he also shares guitar duties with Mikko Lankinen) takes center stage, in all its furious and fuzzy glory. On "Tantrum," Pitsinki shows the carnival side of this music, as the melody is like that of a vintage roller coaster ride. The band's covers draw from John Barry ("The Ipcress File"), surfing heyday kingpin Davie Allen ("Skater Dater"), and forgotten film themes ("Get Carter"). Laika & The Cosmonauts demonstrate that surf music didn't begin and end in the '50s and early '60s.

Editorial Reviews
...haunting echo, surfy Fender twang, and campy organ melodies to concoct a kind of polka/cha-cha hybrid that throws down the glove on the PULP FICTION soundtrack...Jiggle on over to your record store and demand this, with a twist...
