4 stars What a strange and beautiful album! Debut release of Japanese band with Italian (?) name and even more strange music. You will hardly believe, but this album's compositions just return me back to my years I spent in Western Balkans!

No mistake - Japanese avant-jazz band playing Balkan folk and klezmer! Sound is real Japanese though - very precise and clear, very different from real Balkan gypsy street bands dirty sound. But level of authenticity is very high, it's far not a cheap imitation! Even more - band plays Balkan music not too far from original from one hand, but filling it with their free jazz high professional elements. As result, you can hear fantastic mix hi tech Balkan world free jazz!

Sound mix is excellent, and musicians , besides of some chamber elements, work hardly trying to build that unique atmosphere and energetic field so characteristic for Serbian brass festival in small mountain town of Guča.

It's difficult to classify this release - too much world fusion to be jazz recordings, too much free jazz and avant chamber for being world fusion. Doesn't matter - this music has such strong positive energy in it,that you just must listen to it!
