DALEKO JE SUNCE

This album has nothing to do with prog music. Well, almost. The only song that has some prog elements is Nebo nad Makarskom (Sky over the Makarska - my personal favourite). Other songs are strictly commercial, most made in the spirit of current 80's Yugo Pop, with some political allusions - Zebre i Bizoni (Zebras and Buffalloes - allusion to the communist high-end people), Mi znamo svoju sudbu (We know our destiny - written in the manner of the rising Serbian nationalism movement with the rimes Mi znamo svoj put taken from Serbian 1st WW song Tamo daleko). It is significant that they put for the firts time ever a Southeast Serbian dialect in some of their songs (first time ever from any of SE Serbian major Yugoslavian record label bands, indeed) in the song Ce me volis? (Wouldya luv me? in local slang). Orlovi rano lete has allusions to the rise of the new genertion of Yugoslav mafia members in the mid 80's (most of those people led some paramilitary units during the 90's Balkan wars, well, the ones who lived long enough to do it), but it's also the title of the book by one of most appreciate post 2nd WW novelist in Yugoslavia. Production of this album is better than any before and the whole record could even achieve a 4 (if i would't mind that it is not an real prog album) but even i like some of the songs very much, some wrong political directons (which led them later to colaboration with one of the most regressive regeime in Europe ever) made me rating this album 3. Sorry, but i couldn't help it.
