"I taka nataka" was to me a big surprise, even though I wasn't sure what to expect from my all-time favorite band, now gravely "dismembered", although still remaining the reason why music became and remained my greatest passion and life-saving remedy.
The track "Leb i Igri" is obviously a tribute and a farewell to past times, a reminiscence of what L&S used to be, and is quite easily accepted as such. An instinctive notion of "panta rei" comes inevitably to mind, thus releasing listener's capacity for new expectations.
The suppressed lyricism of B.Arsovski all throughout the years has become a lead envelope of this fresh new sound, which almost humbly - but still bravely - explores horizons usually not expected from L&S. Nevertheless, the old-new L&S gives birth to music which is tasteful and noble, but at the same time more powerful than before as it unites the sounds of individual instruments to serve a complete melody, rather than make them serve any single lead (e.g. guitar).
"I taka nataka" is a clear statement that the domination of Vlatko Stefanovski's sensibility in the band's sound is over and done with. I personally am very pleased this has finally happened - he remains a great musician and a rarely significant contributor and professional, but it's been at least 10 years since I've seen any growth and advancement in his performance, both as a player and a composer.
A potential involvement in music production might be his chance to convey his vast experience to some new kids, but also learn a lot from any one of them. I hope he is open-minded enough for such a venture. -
