"Guy Klucevsek is a musical Orient Express whose themes pass from Hungarian gypsy to Slovenian waltz to Middle Eastern wail without stopping at the borders. He is in the business of making the familiar strange and new. Bacaharach tunes are ghostly presences glimsped through veils of invention..."
Tom Strini, Milwaukee Journal Sentinal
