So I'm guessing you haven't actually heard the album, with its
not-so-subtle hints at Klezmer and use of Chazzonish motifs (there actually
is a Chazzan on it). It's also strange to note that Caine also has a Wagner
project going! Don't ask me about it, though, since I have no interest in
anything Wagner related.
