"The Space Cossacks launch into orbit AGAIN! "Never Mind The Bolsheviks - The Best of the Space Cossacks" on MuSick Recordings.  With the prices of now-out-of-print "Interstellar Stomp" and "Tsar Wars" CDs heading into the atmosphere, surf 'n' space music fans will be happy to have this collection of songs from those two albums available at a much more down-to-earth price. Long-time fans should be happy to see that the CD will contain FOUR previously unreleased tracks (Hava Nagila, Penetration and live versions of Red Sunrise and Moroccan Adventures), plus two tracks so far available only on vinyl (Space Probe from the '98 split-EP with the Fathoms, "Fathomized / Red Sunrise", and Metsakukkia from the '99 split-EP with the Hypnomen, "From The Shadows Of the Evil Empire").  The CD also has a brand new artwork by renown sci-fi artist Spider Rocket!  Surf 'n' space forever!"
