    All the selections on this best-of compilation focus on the high-energy side of the music, but that's no bad thing, and it's enough to make a listener sweat just from the speed and breakneck precision of it all -- it's not just father and son who are outstanding, it's the whole band.

    Serves as an excellent introduction to the power and eclecticism of this veteran Balkan brass band. [No. 89, p.52]

    This greatest hits comp (selected by BalkanBeats' DJ Robert Soko) showcases their party tunes such as the breakneck signature romp through Hava Naguila and the blistering flugelhorn ska of Khelipe E Cheasa... as well as their successful ventures further afield.

    Combining Latin rhythms, call-and-response vocals and funk stings, the brass'n'bass music of the Marković Orkestar relies on pure fury and sexuality in a genre built upon romantic passion and tradition.

    These guys claim to be mad crazy; they just don't sound like it here. Their largely instrumental songs are about parties, but they don't bring the party itself. They've premeditated every "Hep!" and "Hey!" [But] that's not to say I couldn't listen to them for a while.
