2012 reissue. Pressed on 180-gram white vinyl; includes printed inner sleeve with credits. Mirumir presents the first vinyl edition of Mumiy Troll's fourth album, Ikra (Caviar), originally released in 1997. Charismatic songwriter and frontman Ilya Lagutenko formed Mumiy Troll in 1983, but they were officially unsanctioned in the Soviet Union, and went on hiatus after the release of their 1985 full-length debut. After a brief reunion in 1990, the band was fully resurrected in 1996, and developed a more traditional Russian rock sound than that of their '80s form, to great popularity in Russia. Ikra is their second album of this '90s period.

The Fifth is the first Bad Boys Blue album without original lead vocalist Trevor Taylor. Original member John McInerney took complete control of the band at this point and is still to this day the only original member performing with Bad Boys Blue. The group toured extensively across Europe for this album, on the success of the singles "Lady In Black" and "A Train To Nowhere" and the album was a hit, especially in Eastern Europe where they remain hugely popular. Another Euro disco and synth-pop classic from Bad Boys Blue reissued by Mirumir.

Mirumir Music Publishing proudly presents the world's first vinyl soundtrack to a mobile game. The soundtrack for Rovio's 2013 game Angry Birds Go! is not quite your typical soundtrack. Recorded with dozens of live instruments ranging from guitars and drums to theremin, saws, and steak in a frying pan (full list of almost 100 instruments included on inner sleeve), this soundtrack contains more music than was used in the game, and even more than on the iTunes release of the soundtrack. The incredible neo-psychedelic retro-funk groove from Pepe Deluxé, who started in the late '90s with trip hop and downtempo, deserves to be heard on a high-quality audio system rather than built-in phone speakers. Guest list includes such eminent persons of the international music scene as Jens Johansson, keyboardist on Yngwie Malmsteen's Rising Force (1984) and member of Stratovarius, and Kimmo Pohjonen, the most famous accordionist in the world. 140-gram LP with printed inner sleeve.

Pressed on 180-gram vinyl. Arabesque's 1980 self-titled third LP (aka Marigot Bay aka Arabesque III) was an unusual musical step for the group. Disco was four or five years old and had become a little unfashionable to the general public. In retrospect, Marigot Bay is an album on which Euro disco was born -- the dance rhythms and the singers' natural charms were reinforced with elements that were unusual for the pure American disco style, specifically the rock 'n' roll guitar and vocal stylings. The results are glorious: "Jingle Jangle Joe" sounds very much like a remake of Cher's 1966 hit "Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)" and "Take Me Don't Break Me" is a true rock 'n' roll tune with a disco beat. And one more thing: Marigot Bay was the very first album in the history of disco to have quite serious lyrics, rather than just "dance, dance, dance..." The ballad "The Only Night Was a Lonely Night" stands head and shoulders over all the other songs on the album, and was one of the most popular Arabesque tracks in USSR. This reissue is a truly deluxe one: all songs are remastered from the analog tapes, sleeve design restored on silver foil card paper, and there's an eight-page booklet with song lyrics and rare band photos. Includes exclusive bonus track "Rock'n'Roll Fan."

Pressed on 180-gram vinyl. Frankfurt disco trio's Arabesque's 1980 fourth album Arabesque IV aka Midnight Dancer is commonly known as "that song album" in all former USSR states. It's paradoxical, but "Midnight Dancer" wasn't released as a single in West Germany or Japan, and wasn't even on the Soviet Arabesque greatest hits LP. Still, it became not only central song Arabesque song in the '80s, but is still one of the most recognizable Euro disco symbols. The album's selection is a little bit more straightforward than their third album, Marigot Bay (MIR 100722LP) -- most tracks are very danceable with a tempo around the classic 120 BPM. This reissue is a truly deluxe one: all songs are remastered from the analog tapes, sleeve design restored on silver foil card paper, and there's an eight-page booklet with song lyrics and rare band photos.

Pressed on 180-gram vinyl. Challenger, originally released in 1985, is the first and only album from disco project Baby's Gang, and one of the most talked about items among collectors of Italo disco. Their first hit tune, "Happy Song," appeared in 1983 and was so beloved by Boney M. producer Frank Farian that he arranged for Boney M. to cover the track and release it as a single in 1984. When Challenger arrived a couple of years after "Happy Song," the full album was a whole platter of hits. Baby's Gang's final single was the 1988 hit "Disco Maniac," after which the creative activity of the project ended. This remastered reissue includes two additional tracks that were not on the original album: the original version of "Happy Song" and a maxi version of "Disco Maniac."

Pressed on 180-gram vinyl. Koto, one of the main Italo-disco legends from the '80s, released several very successful singles on their own label Memory Records (which also put out records by Baby's Gang, Ken Laszlo, and other popular Italo-disco performers). In 1989, however, they sold the rights to the entire Memory Records catalog, including the rights to Koto's music and name, to the German company Pop-Import Bernhard Mikulski (now ZYX Music). Because of this, all of the early hits on their 1989 debut album Masterpieces were presented in the form of remixes and remakes, while the original versions remained scattered on inaccessible singles and compilations. Mirumir, with the kind permission of ZYX Music GmbH, fills in this blank spot in Koto's discography with The Original Masterpiece, which brings together the very original versions of hits that first brought glory to Koto.

Pressed on 180-gram vinyl; presented in gatefold sleeve. Future Generation is the first and most successful album of the Dutch Italo-disco/spacesynth project from producer Erik van Vliet and Michiel van der Kuy. Laserdance incorporates soulful cosmogony, space, and Jean Michel Jarre, putting it on a hi-NRG rail à la Patrick Cowley and other pioneers of synthesizer dance music. The album was first released in Holland in 1987, where it was warmly received and sold nearly 150,000 copies. Future Generation, often called the "bible of spacesynth," significantly increased interest in music in this genre.

Pressed on 180-gram vinyl. Gianni Coraini, better known under the pseudonym Ken Laszlo, released only one album in the '80s, but that has not prevented him from becoming one of the more beloved artists of the Italo-disco scene. Ken Laszlo can be compared with such bright stars of the '80s disco scene as Savage or Fancy. His first single, "Hey Hey Guy," became a hit upon its release in 1984. His songs "Tonight," "Glasses Man," "Don't Cry," and "1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8" also became big hits in discos across Europe and beyond. This album, originally released in 1987, includes all those tracks and more.

2012 release. An influential member of the Italian avant-garde, Roberto Cacciapaglia has spent the last four decades blurring the lines between classical and electronic music, developing a sound that has never been restricted by genre. A classically trained pianist and composer from Milan, Cacciapaglia first came to prominence in the early seventies as keyboardist for the king of experimental Italian pop, Franco Battiato. After recording his own debut LP, 1975's Sonanze in Milan, Cacciapaglia traveled to the Ohr studios in Köln to mix the results under the watchful of eye of Krautrock overlord Rolf-Ulrich Kaiser (Tangerine Dream, Klaus Schulze, Ash Ra Tempel). The resulting album was a mix of electronic (moog, synth) and classical instruments (guitar, oboe, trombone, clarinet) that was experimental in the kosmische sense, but with the musical chops and vision of a classically trained musician. Presented on 180-gram vinyl with a bonus CD of the album, which also includes 15 bonus tracks recorded between 1972 and '74, unreleased until 2000.
