U VREćI ZA SPAVANJE

From the times of divided Europe, Yugoslavian band TAKO shows a mixture of jazz, CAMEL and PINK FLOYD instrumental music, always fine and melodic. PF influences are very notorious at the first track (it begins like "Shine On You Crazy Diamond"), including sweet flutes and nostalgic Mellotron (this one generously used). In the next themes, some jazzy moments and -eventually- powerful guitar riffs will be added, but TAKO's music is essentially based in nice melodies and harmonies (CAMEL influences), giving to the listener a melancholic sensation and, at the same time, some majestic feeling. I heard this magnificent album several times, and I found just one difficult: It was impossible to say "positively, this track is better than another". Maybe the first cut "U Vreci Za Spavanje" and the long epic "Price O Leni" are standing out, but all tracks, including both bonus, are highlights. Highly recommended.
