"After listening to Koby's second album, I wanted to hear more from this musical maestro. I got a copy of `Dance of the Idiots' and this album, in a word is, fantastic. I love the way a `drum `n' bass groove turns into an accordion solo in the track `If that makes any sense'. `Saints and Dates' is a tangoesque piece of music, and `Truah' is a funk and Jazz odyssey. `Wanna Dance' changes mood and style with grace as the track shifts into a beautifully mocking clarinet solo. By the time you've heard title track `Dance of the Idiots' energetic ska this album is completely irresistible. I'm just glad musicians like John Zorn choose to back new artists like Koby Israelite, so music lovers can hear something new, original and totally awesome.
