^^ Good. I especially recommend first two titles of Bijelo dugme, "Sta bi dao..." and "Bitanga i princeza".
Hope to read your reviews soon! Thumbs%20Up

It's a compilation:
 
Pro Arte & Vladimir Savcic Cobi: I will listen to it carefully in the week end.
 
There are 19 tracks released between 1969 and 1976.
 
 
 
Great compilation (that the correct title is:  PRO ARTE & Vladimir Savcic Cobi: "Najvecji Hiti Iz 70! Let!"). Sure also in Prog field!
 
Pro arte were enormously popular easy listening pop group. Prog elements were sparse IMO and not frequently present.

Bitanga i Princeza is really a brilliant album. Wonderful compositions, especially the closer. Excellent production also. It is still the only Bijelo Dugme album I own but I hope to increase my collection very soon. Eto! ... is in my shopping list...

Recently I bought also:
 
and:
Interesting DVD with good songs. The video from 'Bijelo Dugme' formed a sort of concept. The video from 'Pljuni I Zapjevaj Moja Jugoslavijo' are live recordings. Great audience response but poor sound that ruin the songs. Great the 'Ciribiribela' section (see the 'Napile Se Ulice' video... too
Exhilarating...! LOLEmbarrassedShocked) also because more of the 'Ciribiribela''s songs are presents in 'Turneja 2005'!

I must listen well to be able to judge... All albums of Bijelo Dugme give 5 stars for me...
 
Of course that the album of Goran Bregovic is very Prog. But I have only 'Edelrezi' and I do not know what other albums buy... But if Goran did a concert in my region (I lost two or three, maybe four Bregovic concerts...!) I purchase different CDs ... Unfortunately I are forced to miss the concerts  of Bijelo Dugme...

Great album.
 
Where I had already heard the song "Bitanga I Princeza"? Maybe on 'Radio Capodistria"?

IMO Nevino srce is the weakest Buldozer album, but even such it has a few good songs. Listen for yourself and judge...

Dugme DVD is interesting video collection of the 80s, but I don't personally like very much this phase of Dugme... Anyway it is good to get a glimpse at Yugo rock scene of the period.

"Nevino Srce" is a mad album... Not only weakest!
And Dugme DVD is simply one of the best collection of 80's songs... Also if Hard Rock/ Metal Phase (with "Bitanga") and in my personal view also "ciribiribela" (that I've only some songs in this DVD and in "Turneja") are the best phase, also for me!
 
Whether your opinion about the solo career of Goran Bregovic, Seyo?

Bregovic is mostly associated with film music, soundtracks. He leads the Wedding and Funeral Orchestra band and performs a sort of "Balkan World Music", mixing Gypsy and Serbian folk, pop and orchestral arrangements. It is good, nothing groundbreaking, but nice to listen. He sometimes rearranges old Dugme songs to fit the new band. There are many brass, strings and choirs in this band. I would recommend "Ederlezi" album. There is Iggy Pop featured as guest on few tracks!

Today in Nova Gorica (Mercator Hypermarket) I bought this two former YU CDs:
 

1998
Vlatko Stefanovski Trio (VLATKO STEFANOVSKI)
 
Great 'Vlatko Stefanovski Trio'... Higly recommended. Out of head 'Rok End Roul' Ep, a simply R'n'R Ep!

In any case I printed the page of the former YU bands/ artists so as to consult during the visit in record shop!

bravo Mandy, I saw your reviews.
I also hope to read your opinion on Drago Mlinarec 2CD collection, excellent but very unnoticed folk-rock artist.
Cheers,

Thanks, Seyo!
 
I hope that is still available in the record shop the compilation in question. is not going in that record shop from two months (also because in Mercator Hypermaket I found other). But this time I printed a list of EX YU bands / artists in PA and I am sure that I will not escape other groups / artists. LOLBig%20smileTongueWinkEmbarrassed
