Third full length release from Pål Nyhus and Knut Petter Sævik as Mungolian Jetset, known for their lengthy space disco tunes. The cover art tells you that a tongue-in-cheek approach is required, and yet Mungolian Jetset is a lot more musical and eclectic than one might imagine.

Yes, their songs are cheeky, psychedelic ramblings about alien abductions and "ghosts of murderous transvestites", yet despite this nonsense something resonates above and beyond that. The opening 2011 - A Space Woodysey might borrow the clashing orchestral thunderclaps from implied motion picture, but surrounding that is a heady weave of percolating rhythms and enjoyably bright - and somewhat ambitious - multifaceted space disco.

The 10-minute Moon Jocks n Prog Rocks then leaps into straight-up disco funk, full of intricately welded urban beats, sprightly guitar flicks and punch-drunk synth motifs, while the peculiarly titled Shelton's On A Bender shows just how wonderfully dysfunctional Mungolian Jetset are, throwing glacial guitars, cow bells, jungle samples (animals not beats) and haunting female vocals into a melting pot of deforested disco grooves - dare I say, I've never heard anything quite like it.

Meanwhile, Bella Lanay provides straight-up poppy, addictive disco from the 70s and We Are The Shining continues the lyrical flow with more mind-bending, nostalgic disco hooks.

Schlungs is a richly produced album of disco mayhem that provides a wild mixture of intoxicating dancefloor fare and deliriously playful leftfield whimsy. You can't take it seriously, but musically Nyhus and Sævik paint from an enormously wide canvas and the production and ideas are about as expansive and maturely-weaved as you could hope to expect from a modern disco record.

Ultimately, a confident, fun and enjoyable release that's difficult to dislike whatever your taste in generic dance music, and one that puts the fun back into disco.
