Another wonderful flower that grews unnoticed in the west behind the iron curtain.
There are sure a lot of Floyd-influences hearable,the band sounds although independent.
Track 6 Dolina Leptrirac beginns like a slow version of Downwind from Pierre Morlens Gong.The keys as the guitar,the floods and the rythm group are premium played.
The whole songwork is varied,intelligent and surprising.It´s an instrumental album,so there are no problems with the so often inexplieable worse vocals in this genre.The complete album is top-notch!
Grrreat release-highly recommended to proglovers!
Yummy,yummy! |

Powerful & diverse symphonic prog rock with beautiful melodies and instrumental skills on flute guitar and keyboards with some early Floyd influences. |

Rather tasteless metallo-prog, with a few forgiving moments. Not recommended. |

OK, so I had to say that Tako's debut wasn't an album that blew me away. It was decent enough, but then I also have to remember this was an Eastern European band (this band being from what was then Yugoslavia), having to play by communist rules to get their music released. I really thought the biggest weakness of their first album was the vocals, which, although used on only two cuts (and one more on the bonus cut on the Brazilian CD reissue). Really I am really surprised with their second album, U Vreci Za Spavanje (translates as "In the Sleeping Bag", which the original LP shows the band members in sleeping bags). One thing the album was released in 1980 so I expected it to be not as good as their 1978 debut, instead it's even better. I was expecting some nasty early '80s sounds to be found, not at all! The fusion elements of their debut has gone, and so are the vocals, which is a wise decision! Dorde Ilijan seems to use the same keyboards as before, he tends to use the Elka Rhapsody the most (I seen photos of him with Mellotron, but I sure don't notice any on either of their albums, although I might notice some tron flute buried with real flute at the end of this particular album).
Basically all the good things of their debut made even better here. Anyway, notice something familiar with the opening title track? The droning synths, the Moog leads? Sounds like them copying Pink Floyd's "Shine On You Crazy Diamond", something Eloy did a year before on their "Astral Entrance" (from their album Silent Cries and Mighty Echoes). But then the flute kicks in and they get off of the Floyd kick. "Senke Proslosti" is the second cut, and I really dig those heavy guitar riff with that spacy synth backdrop.
Nice to see in 1980 a band creating great prog rock, that is simply the exception not the rule by that time. Even in communist Yugoslavia, the progressive rock scene there got cut short by the punk rock explosion of the late '70s, and of course, Tako fell victim. |

Possibly the worst progressive rock album from the 1970's that I've ever heard.
I'd also like to mention a possible mistranslation of the title of this release:
"Taco In The Sleeping Bag" |
