I am listening Kroke!!
I am discovering Kroke for now and listening to their (wiki stub on Kroke) Ten Pieces to Save the World. I am stuck as a stone listening to the music and am forgetting myself in the mystic land that it takes me to. I have also their Live At Home album in my pipeline to listen to. Kroke artists are unique and does fulfill my thirst to listen to strange, beautiful ecstasic music….
Here are reviews listed on Kroke Website that say about their music:
The music is too dark to really represent traditional klezmer. At times, it is almost as if the Velvet Underground have been reborn as a klezmer band.
Ari DavidovWhat makes me feel drawn to Kroke music is spiritual reality of the musicians, this means honesty and authenticity of the music.
Nigel KennedyKroke live are a hair-raisingly brilliant, unforgettable experience.
Jon LuskAt times they sound jazzy, at times contemporary, at times classical. Their music is at once passionate and danceable.
Dominic Raui
I find my musical experience listening to their album to be in line with the second and third review. I feel a spiritual awakening and it does give an unforgetable experience listening to their music.
