From record label:
"Darko Rundek is a Croatian musician who helmed the successful Zagreb rock band Haustor during the 1980s. He worked as a critic, actor, and theatre director. In the early ‘90s he left the strife of his native country and now he lives in Paris. 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. Mhm A-ha Oh Yeah Da-Da is the Orkestar’s third album after 2004’s Ruke: la Comédie Des Sens and the live Zagrebacka Magla. 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."


"Our new CD deals with the modern world of megalopolis and the Internet – Oh-Yeah A world in change, migration, the explosion of local traditions into individual bits projected into big cities and foreign countries, seen through eyes of a Croatian – Da-Da, who has been living in Paris for years. (in fact, just outside Paris, in the "hot" suburbs, in an non-privileged environment) Of course, when words start to crystallise, they influence music in return and whole takes the form. Songs, or rather pieces, start to adapt to the form of album. In concerts they will continue to change reflecting, or actively changing place, time and atmosphere shared with the audience."
Darko Rundek

"...a multi-layered, multifaceted, artsy sound, that may remind listeners of irony-drenched, postmodern troubadours such as Tom Waits and Paulo Conte."
