In my opinion, the best album of Ankylym and even one of the best albums in the whole history of rock (although it’s not really rock), at least, there’s nothing else of this kind. However, a studio recording is not the most appropriate incarnation of this alko folk slaughter madness with bayan and balalaika, and the chaotic spirit of live performance has been hardly reproduced convincingly in every case. For instance, it was really unclear, how to record the impromptu remarks in The Cows, discussing it has been also included in the album. Probably for the same reason the songs Pechkin, Borszcz, and Ryaba The Hen, performed almost in every gig, are not included at all. I didn’t care to learn my parts for the song Shizgara before the session, so the balalaika sounds there the most incoherent way, partly masked by the effects. Although by that time the acoustic trio left after the drop-off of the rhythm section had been replenished by the fourth member, Beloff (туба, арабаба), for some reasons only his bad karma took part in the recording, as stated on the cover. 20 songs in 20 minutes. A techno remix of the song The Cows as a bonus.

On the tape label, the name The Fathers Of Meat was translated into 12 languages. Besides the tape, there was a CD version (self-released by the band itself, so Stauropygial Records have nothing to do with it), in a postage envelope, only the main picture being there common with the tape cover, and with videos (among them the only surviving fragment of the legendary gig at Stirka where balalaika was first destroyed). ATTENTION! No longer distributed, reissued in 2015.
