MOJE KRAVE MOLZNICE (WITH ALES JOST AND JAVNA DVAJA)

"My Milkin' Cows", as the title reads in English, is a recapitulation of old Brecelj's songs. There are four songs taken from debut album "Cocktail", three songs from "Svinjam diamante", six songs from "Desant na Rt Dobre nade" and "Parada" from the self-titled EP. However, this is not a standard compilation because all the tracks are re-recorded during the sessions in DID Kopar studio in 1988-89 and finally released by Helidon in 1991.

This time the backing "band" was called JAVNA DVAJA, but actually it was a duo consisting of Brecelj and bassist/producer Ales Jost, plus a handful of session players. Among these the most important parts had Primoz Schmidt on saxophone and Matjaz Sekne on viola.

It is interesting to hear slightly different and mostly acoustic versions of the tracks from "Cocktail" and "Svinjam", while songs previously recorded for "Desant" tape are better performed on this release. The only new song is "Radojka" - a nice folk song with lead viola weeping. This is a nice collection even for casual folk and singer/songwriters listeners and may serve as an introduction to the crazy, non-conformist world of this vanguard Slovene artist.
