ALO (listen for the music)

"There is no instrumental with scat singing on the world rock scene that is close to this. This kind of vocal performance is pure genius. These vocal commanding tones of the guitar, then the endings and all the other flexibility up to the high notes are an unsurpassed alternation in the rhythm of this perfection. And Zoran's bass is just a special story. A band that deserves years of research into every tone of every instrument in order to see and understand unity. That is SMAK. Love without borders."
