Penguin Eggs Magazine, No.28.
– By Richard Thornley
If you're looking for an unsettling soundtrack to summer, then look no further than World After History. Here the familiar evocation of pan-Mediterranean place in sound is weighted by a deep Balkan melancholy, which is only fitting
given Boris Kovac’s residency in Novi Sad in Vojvodina.
Sing Out! magazine, Derek Beres
… all this Yugoslavian bandleader¹s excursions are voyages beyond the expected…World After History, like its predecessors, is a soundtrack to the movie of Kovac¹s mind. It envisions a sacred space stretching past dualistic thinking…Kovac is as much philosopher as brassist he seeks personal spaces which make sense through incoherence. ..
QUER funk Karlsruhe Erstsendung,Roland Altenburger 14.08.2005
From Cuba to Pannonia. Pannonia is located in Serbia, ex Yugoslavia and it is the homeland of Boris Kovach, the music genius who has given us this new record that surpasses all his previous works.
