This always makes me think of the intro to Six Feet Under...

I like this, especially that plucky instrument. Is that a Harp?

Don't listen to music on the internet. That should substantially cut down on your exposure.

Ironically, for someone who listens to RP 7 hours a day, I often take a while to warm up to songs.  This one has definitely grown on me.

Sometimes when I hear this kind of plucking it sounds forced or cruel, as if the instruments are in danger.  There's none of that here.  They're just tickling them, it sounds to me.  Enchanting.

I like this, but for me it was Sophie Solomon who did it for me.

I was thinking that or the Dexter intro.

This is actually starting to grow on me so I just up-rated it a bit :)

I'm really liking these guys.  Their style has improved a bit recently to be, I think, a bit less "Klezmer-ish."  I've never been really crazy about the screechy clarinet in Klezmer but that's the genre's schtick!  The band's newer stuff is much more creative and varied - but still keeping to their roots.

I like Sophie Solomon who used to be in this group but I just can't get into this so much.

British.

With strong Klezmer roots - hence the European folk sound.

  It is a great album, but I am beginning to feel that every third song we hear is oi va voi.  It's too much.  Each song may follow the standard RP formula for play-time, but since the whole album got dumped into heavy rotation at the same time - and considering that the songs all sound simmilar - considering the album as a whole, it is easily the heaviest heavy rotation I have heard on RP for years.
 
Reality Check - The album has 12 songs on it and RP has 4 in the library, so it's a falsehood to say that the whole album got dumped into heavy rotation. Also, you must not have been listening very long to RP if you think this is heavy rotation - Doves, Neko Case and Porcupine Tree come to mind.

No kidding. This is the first Oi Va Voi tune that I haven't found painful to hear.

You can really feel KT Tunstall's style in this (she used to be in this band).
