KRHOTINE 2005

"Krhotine 2005" is a sort of refreshed issue of the previous, similarly titled CD "Krhotine", released in 2005 on the occasion of Mlinarec's awarding the "Porin" - Croatian music award - for life accomplishment in music. Regarding the collection of songs, it is similar to the previous one with few important differences.

Instead of 5 songs from 1996 issue (out of which prog aficionados should regret the absence of two tracks from debut album, "Pop pjevač" and "Srebri se mraz"), this collection is strengthened by addition of two excellent, progressive compositions: "Rođenje/Helena lijepa i ja u ki?i" in its integral almost 17-minutes form taken from "Rođenje" LP and a new track, 14-minutes electronic ambient instrumental "Drums In 3 Fun", which was composed in 2001 for the theatrical play "Christopher Columbus" by Michael de Ghelderode. In case you want a single-disc compilation of the songs representing the bulk of Mlinarec's solo career, let it be this one.
