MODRA RIJEKA

It is a shame that more people ouside former Yugoslavia did not hear this masterpiece of poetic prog."Modra rijeka" is musical adaptation of most beautiful poems written by renowned Bosnian poet Mak Dizdar in the first half of last century.Album was recorded in 1978,and shows Indexi at their best,creative ideas and performance,even sound are all top notch.Music can be described as a symphonic prog,although there is not much classical overtones,except maybe in best song on album,11-minutes plus epic "More"(Sea).Overall quality of this album set the standards for everybody in rock music bussines in former Yugoslavia at the time.To date,I don't think that anybody came even close to chalenge sheer brilliance and importance of this historic record.I understand that many people will probably avoid this album,cause it is sung in serbo-croatian language,but this should'nt be deterrent,music is too good to be forgoten.Cd reissue of this album is available on most ex- Yugoslavian music sites,I recommend it to everyone who appreciates classy prog music ,a true masterpiece.
