ALEK FIN & GALUN - STRANNIK EP

Tracklist:

A1. Original (EP version)
A2. An-2 & Samos Instrumental Mix
B1. Lipelis Remix (EP version)
B2. D-Pulse 'Paranoid Mix'

When we heard Pompeya for the first time and were told they were from Moscow, we were like: - What!? Are you kidding? This is probably the first Russian band singing in English with such a classy Brit touch and male vocal being very strong and sophisticated at the same time. They jestingly describe their style as “melodramatic popular song” and “Cheenese” is indeed a very dramatic piece with simple yet powerful composition and lyrics that really make BIG sense. The original is very well supported by a bunch of remixes each of which is unique on its own. An-2 & Samos come with a warm, relaxed and funky instrumental version which is followed by a blockbuster mix from Moscow disquo maestro Leonid Lipelis (an entirely perfect dance version of the original that could ever exist) and finally, for those few sirs and mesdames who are not yet aesthetically satisfied and who still find themselves seated while others jump and shout, here come D-Pulse with their ‘Paranoid’ mix that gathers the thunderclouds to the full darkness and - at the end - lets the revival sunbeams break through.

[Theom014] - Pompeya "Cheenese" (Preview)

"The Stevie Nicks edit makes the girls and gays in NYC go crazy... who needs anything else??"
- Tim Sweeney / Beats In Space

"I like a side!"
- Toshiya Kawasaki / Mule Musiq

"Appropriate that the graphic decorating Kojak Giant Sound’s latest release is a palm tree, because this one feels like stumbling ‘pon a tiny disco club oasis in the middle of the Sahara on a hot July day might feel like.

We’ve raved about the last Young Edits vinyl release on Foot & Mouth, and Luke Fosky’s exceptionally tasteful reworks of Kate Bush and Arthur Russell have restored a lot of my faith in the “soundcloud edit” as a viable genre. The fun continues here, where Stevie Nick’s vocals get wrapped up in some windswept drum patterns and echoing whistles, feeling faithful to the original but like a whole different beast at the same time.

B-Side is a twangy edit of The Catch’s “25 Years” that’s also worth investigating, especially when that saxaphone kicks in, damn."
- Discobelle

"Straight outta Finland, the popular limited edition series returns with two more re-edits that usually stand head and shoulders abover the usual re-edit output...this is a big big remix of this less well known Stevie Nicks track and on the flip, its the lesser known "25 Years" from the Catch. The Catch were fairly successful in the early to mid 1980s with releases on Metronome and Stiff Records. The two man group featured Chris Whitten and Jonn Savannah who’s responsible for the incredible sax running through “25 Years”!"
- Phonica Records

"We’re massive fans of the Kojak Giant Sound releases, you know the ones, massive palm tree in the middle with a blend of pastel shades across the centre. Sometimes the edits are obvious, sometimes not so obvious. The latest being the latter featuring a track by The Catch called “25 Years”

The Catch were fairly successful in the early to mid 1980s with releases on Metronome and Stiff Records. The two man group featured Chris Whitten and Jonn Savannah who’s responsible for the incredible sax running through “25 Years” If you recognise the sound, then award yourself 10 points and a badge sporting the words “I love Squeeze”. On the flip you can find Stevie Nicks’ – “Smiling At You” which has also received the Young Edits treatment.

The next Kojak Giant Sound release is due to drop soon. You can pre-order via their wonderful site (www.kojakgiantsounds.com). Get yours whilst you can."
- Mark Webster / Cosmic Disco

"Entendu sur Feel My Biceps il y a bientôt deux ans, le re-work par Young du Smiling At You de Stevie Nicks est enfin disponible sur Kojak - ça tombe bien: l'été, rien n'est aussi sexy qu'une Fleetwooderie."
- Alainfinkielkrautrock
