Normally, any compilation album of a progressive music artist would not be of high
estimation, in my opinion, since there is no way to collect "greatest hits" from the works
for which the album format is so imminent, even obligatory if you want. But this one is
different. KORNI GRUPA composed several pioneering progressive songs which never
made it onto an album, thus justifying this collection as a unique "best of" the "progressive
side" of the band. "Divlje jagode" is closer to hard rock and it even made the single B-side
in 1974. Of particular interest are two lengthy tracks recorded with Dado Topic as lead
singer, from around the year 1970, "Prvo svetlo u kuci broj 4" and a live version of "Jedna
zena", which were quite avant-garde in those times. Popular ballad "Etida" was conceived
in the same period but this version is taken from the 1973 single, sung by Zlatko
Pejakovic. Finally, three songs are taken from the two studio albums - the band's tour de
force "Put na istok" from the eponymous debut, while "Not an Ordinary Life" is
represented by the title track and "Generation 42". This is a very good collection and is
highly recommended to the first-time listeners of KORNI GRUPA as well as to the
collectors. Of course, since this is a compilation, cannot be judged as "masterpiece".
