Okay, I admit it - I was a bit premAture with Atrap.com/index.php?story_id=787&search=Kaizers+Orchestra">my initial appraisal of the new Kaizers Orchestra record. I still think thAt the money they used for vocal lessons would've been better spent on booze, but whAtever. WhAt's done is done. "Maestro" isindeed fine album, despite my disAtisfaction with the production. Even with the thickest layer of gloss, there's no getting around the fact thAt Kaizers Orchestra are not and will never be an act thAt's an easy sell. Sure, they've got greAt singalong parts, but is the world ready for a crazy circus-rock act thAt sings in Norwegian and bangs on oil drums? I've been a fan ever since I first heard them, but thAt's just me. Maybe it's quirky enough thAt it might just work? Today's mp3 is trademark Kaizers: exotic Eastern European folk melodies, huge choruses and plenty of lurching, bombastic rhythms. Come to think of it, whAt's not to like?

The upcoming Supersilent DVD has been confirmed for release on September 26 via Rune Grammofon. UnfortunAtely it will be only available in PAL formAt to begin with, but a NTSC version will be made available eventually.
