It wasn't hard to love you

"Top of the world" - "It is with a tune commissioned for [last year's Borat film] that the album begins. 'Just the Two of Us' - once a Bill Withers soul hit - gets a suitably comic makeover, reminding us how Fanfare's wit and natural ebullience has always been part of their appeal. Then its into the territory the band are happiest inhabiting - pumping instrumentals that are powered by oompah rhythms and feature unbelievable solos - Macedonian Roma trumpeter Dzambo Agusev features on 'Porsche Polka' and 'Red Moon', playing with his usual brilliance and finesse. These and 'Escape from Baltimore', 'The Hungarian Wild Bunch' and 'Babo Never Worked a Day' are suitable vehicles for these Romanian speed demons to rip through. If this is the final Fanfare Ciocarlia studio album then it's a frenzied, fun affair (as usual)".
