1981 single by singer Ekaterina Surzhikova, who debuted after winning an award at the Soviet Pop Artist Competition. The standout track is electro-disco "Я Знаю" on track B2. It's an hidden anthem that perfectly blends exquisite synth, acid, and melancholy. The wired slow funk track "Чудо-Юдо" on B1 features tap-like sounds is also quite interesting. The Betty Davis-esque first picture jacket is great.

ソ連ポップアーティストコンクールで受賞したのを機にデヴューを飾ったシンガーEkaterina Surzhikovaによる81年のシングル盤。何と言ってもB2に収録のエレクトロ・ディスコ”Я Знаю”が抜群。絶妙なシンセ使い、アシッド具合、メランコリーが一体となった隠れアンセム。タップのような音が挿入されるワイヤード・スロー・ファンク”Чудо-Юдо”もかなり面白い。Betty Davis似1stピクチャージャケがまたイイ感じ。
