Fay Claassen: Sing!
By Track review of "Cover Me"Under the direction of Michael Abene who drives the superb WDR Big Band Cologne and the WDR Rundfunkorchester, the song become a modern tone poem, something Richard Strauss would have composed after his Last Four Songs, had the composer ever heard The Sugarcubes. It boasts the quiet rebellious spirit of the Entartete Musik of Korngold and Goldschmidt, cast in the crystalline sonics of today.
