As a fan of the Tzadik label, I always know it's going to be something different or special. Stolen Memories is a special record and a fine record for people ready to try something new. While it might be a klezmer record, there are enough different sounds here, that others will like it too. "Wave Hill" is a stand out track with a haunting repeating melody line, many Steve Reich fans would love. The stunning piece builts slowly, but never extends itself too much. Other amazing tracks are "Skating on thin air", which sounds almost like something of an ambient record and the title track "Stolen Memories". If I have to say anything bad, it's that "Donut Ask, Donut Tell" seems out of place. Not because it's bad, it's a cute little song (only vocals on the record) but it's doesn't fit the rest of the record.

If you are reading this, you probably already know a bit about the music or Guy Klucevsek, so just know that it's great and another beauty from Tzadik

Interesting "avant garde" music that will not appeal to a large group of classical enthusiasts. However none the less, this music is worth listening to a number of times. I found that the more I listened to it the more I liked it. I felt that the opening and closing pieces were at times irritating due to their constant mono toned repetition, but most of the other pieces were pretty interesting. I bought this album based on a single piece I heard on WQXR. I may not have purchased the album if I had heard it in it's entirety.
