U VREćI ZA SPAVANJE

One of the best groups from Yugoslavia! Because of the heavy guitar and flute they are often compared to SOLARIS but they started erlier than this Hungarian band and maybe they influenced them. Both of their albums were reissued on CD. This is the second one and completely instrumental.

- "U vreci za spavanje" is a peaceful floydian track with Mellotron (or string synth?) and a nice flute theme.

- "Senke proslosti" has heavy metal riffs in odd time signature (ethnic influence). Electric guitar is shredding and also some analog synth. In the middle of the track there is an unexpected calmer part.

- "Na putu ka sebi" also starts similar as previous track and then slows down.

- "Horde mira" (bonus track) starts with a classically influenced symphonic part and continues with fast guitar solos.

- "Price o Leni" reminds me a little of OZRIC TENTACLES and IGRA STAKLENIH PERLI (another Yugoslavian group) because of the eastern grooves.

- "Dolina leptira" is a beautful track with a nice eastern guitar melody, majestic riffs, synth jamming and a piano solo in odd time signature.

- "Izgubljeno nista" (bonus track) is alternating between fast heavy passages and spacey parts like in "Na putu ka sebi"

- "Igra devojcice" is a more classic symphonic track again with trademark riffing and a bluesy harmonica solo in the middle.

TAKO is a very unique symphonic space group. The powerful riffing and guitar soloing is ahead of its time. There could be some similarity with SOLARIS, ELOY and RUSH but TAKO sound different. The sound quality of "U vreci za spavanje" is not the best but the music is perfect. Excellent listening experience!
