This is Michael Mixerr. Today I will review Zeerok - Kompoztor. The album Zeerok - Kompoztor was released on CD in 2006 on Minnow Records.
Zeekrok (Zhenya Rock) is a guitarist originally from Vologda, Russia whom now resides in Hutto, Texas which is 30 miles northeast of Austin, Texas. Zeerok compares himself to the likes of Elvis Presley. Kompoztor is a selection of songs over 80 minutes from over years with Siberian surf-rockers The Red Elvises. Listening to Kompoztor is an unworldy experience. The album Kompoztor is on a whole different level!
Sunshine is a wholehearted tribute to Bluegrass and Rockabilly. Sunshine is not about getting drunk after drinking 12 packs of beer or one-night stands. Sunshine is a song everybody can relate to. The acoustics are well emphasized on Sunshine. Zeekrok’s guitar playing skills really shine and stand out here on the album.
El Nino is an example of how Russian dance music meets surf rock melodies not to mention Russian Folk music. El Nino is weird yet funky to such eclectic music such as this. El Nino is an example of a funky acoustic guitar ballad that follows the melody.
Cold Heat comes with a Gypsy-flavored chorus on a funky acoustic guitar ballad. The beat follows the Russian melody. Cold Heat is similar to Russian dance music. The phase of the beat catches into the song.
To The Top is something similar to soulful Ray Charles. The chorus is well emphasized. No To The Top is not about takin’ it to the top.
Cry Me A River is house meets surf not to mention Russian dance music.
I rate this album, Kompoztor, 5/5*****!
