Laika. Margaret Fiedler & Guy Fixsen with John Frenett and Lou Ciccotelli and Louise Elliott. I remember first hearing this CD about 10 years ago and being totally mesmerized by the music. It wasn't like anything I was listening to at the time and I instantly loved it for that. The "Sugar Daddy" opener is now one of my all-time favorites and the album is one of the most interesting, unique and enjoyable albums of the 90s. Electro-organic wonderfulness that others took years to catch up with, although I don't really know any other band that sounds quite like this except some of Margaret's songs in her previous band, Moonshake, which I didn't hear until years later. "Marimba Song", "Coming Down Glass", "If You Miss", "44 Robbers", could list just about every song. Essential to me, but seems a shame to be so little known outside of music circles like this. I guess a simile might be that it sounds kind of like my current Roy Lichtenstein avatar looks
