Laikaheads around the world - thank You for Your support !
The 20+ years went by much faster than a Swedish term for life imprisonment - 12 years. They sure were were a lot more fun, too!

Dave Marsh seems to like our stuff, yees? :) |

Cosmopolis, Laika and the Cosmonauts (Yep Roc)-The final album from the Finnish
sci-fi surf band leaps out of the box with "Metropolis Theme" and never relents. In
a just world, these guys would have earned Grammys, Oscars, and the keys to Surf
City. As it is they remain a rarified taste for those who understand the minimalist
brilliance of an aesthetic rooted in "Malaguena," Link Wray, Mars Needs Women (the
movie), and the late night movie presentations of Zacherle, which must have reached
Helsinki through a cosmic probe, arguably the most worthwhile in history. |
