"Since Fanfare Ciocarlia are also widely admired for their extremely loud Balkan funk and stomp, it's good to note the firmly earthed and rooted blues of their new record, summed up in the stretched, evocative and traditional Doina Pentru Un Frant Inima, that digs within and takes its time ... Louce, captivating, refocussed and romantic, there's often an elemental slow burn under the famous sound, above which the customarily nifty soloing is revealed and outstanding. Their version of I Put A Spell On You, featuring Iulian Canaf vocals that bustle with delight above the brass banks, is pleasingly deranged".
