SAROLTA ZALATNAY - Sarolta Zalatnay, FINDERS KEEPERS

BACK IN STOCK. As usual then, Finders Keepers have dug up yet another disparate collection of insanity from a part of the world we know embarrassingly little about, and this time it's a little further from our expectations, or is it? You see, this compilation of works from Hungarian pop star Sarolta Zalatnay (better known to her fans as Cini) is a little closer to the mainstream than you might think - in her home country Cini is something of the superstar (recently appearing on their version of Celebrity Big Brother!), so although you might think you're listening to a lesser known psychedelic gem, in Hungary she is more akin to Cliff Richard or Cilla Black. Admittedly though, coming from Eastern Europe she was never going to succumb to the sugared blandness of the British mainstream, rather the music here is pop music put through a mangle of distorted guitars, heavy percussion and fractured electronics. Those of you that managed to get hold of Selda's incredible debut album which Finders Keepers re-issued last year will have a good starting point in terms of sound, but where Selda was rooted in Turkish music, Zalatnay is somewhat more obviously Western-sounding. As the cover-mount so beautifully states - it's something akin to Serge Gainsbourg doing Eurovision, there's a pop sensibility but handled by someone who really knows what they're doing. And so we move to the production, crate digging break hunters take note; there are enough crazy breaks on here to keep you salivating for months to come. The drums have been compressed so hard that each track is fat and percussive in a way you know is guaranteed to send shivers down the spines of hip-hoppers the world over, and those vocals - oh those vocals! By the time you're three or four tracks into the record you'll be totally addicted, Cini will be your new best friend and you'll be hooked on her distinctive sounds - it's just a pity I can't for the most part understand a word the little lady is saying. Although I should really know to expect this kind of sickeningly high quality from Finders Keepers, they have again shocked me into hearing something I'd never usually have stumbled across and falling hopelessly in love - this is music for the soul, music for the mind and music for the body. Let yourself go and begin to discover an exciting new world of sound - simply incredible!
