"Darko Rundek is a Croatian musician who helmed the
successful Zagreb rock band Haustor during the 1980s... The name
of his group, the Cargo Orkestar, is a souvenir of the months he
spent broadcasting sound collages from a ship off the Balkan coastline.
... It’s a theatrical CD with a cabaret heart. It can be blaring,
cynical, adult—sometimes harsh, but also rueful-sweet with a
controlled undercurrent of idealistic humanity."

'These songs are still a staple of popular music in Turkey, where Ali Ekber
Çiçek is regarded as the premier interpreter of Sufi music. In his
rendering, classic Sufi works become a showcase for startling technical
prowess on the lute-like baglama and the emotive powers of his voice. This is
a master's tour of a sophisticated musical form rarely heard west of the
