Atomic Cafe

A fantastic out-of-print LP with a collection of atomic power-themed songs, ripped by a russian music collector with impeccable taste. This is a soundtrack to a documentary of the same name. The tunes range from jazz to gospel to blues to country and are interspersed with bits of interviews.
Enjoy - but if you're at work, make sure not to turn it up too high when Sonny Boy bleats: "The japanese, they are so rotten / And I just looooove to see them die!"
