Messer Chups is Oleg Gitarkin's solo project, focusing more on surf rock and b
movies.
The main band is Messer Fur Frau Muller (with Oleg Kostrov) which is poppy
electronic lounge madness -- most (though not all) of the tracks on Hyper
Utesov Presents are actually Messer Fur Frau Muller.
Oleg Kostrov's solo stuff is yet more of the same.
Between these two there are now about a dozen albums, and really, all of them
are excellent. The Best Messer Fur Frau Muller album is probably "Second Hand
Dreams", and I'd recommend the earlier Messer Chups ("Miss Libido 2000") over
the last one ("Black Black Magic" -- though this does have some amazing
Theremin). For Oleg Kostrov check out the Iwona tracks, the Snow Queen 12",
and Aspirin and Serpentine.
Most of their records are available via Germany's Stora records, and here in NYC
via Bliss Records.
And yes, there does seem to be a bit of a Russian/East European quirky techno
lounge scene (if the excellent Legkie Fall/Summer/Winter/Spring comps are any
indication)....
