The Music
Though the album lacks the freshness and the humorous flavour of Hipodil's other releases, some of the tracks, like "Drashtya s nokti", "Kato Slunce" and "Sprete ni toka" offer the band's trademark puns, parodies and mockery. "3X3" parodies the pop-folk, also known as chalga, quite popular in Bulgaria. "Aferata 'Drayfus'" deals with alcohol-inflicted vomiting and the title is a pun - an out-of-context use of the name of the Dreyfus Affair as the name Dreyfus in Bulgarian sounds similar to the slang verb "drayfam", which means "to vomit". The final track "Nova gratzka pesen" features a tango rhythm mixed with heavy guitars and very cynical lyrics.

Famous quotes containing the word music:
“The average educated man in America has about as much knowledge of what a political idea is as he has of the principles of counterpoint. Each is a thing used in politics or music which those fellows who practise politics or music manipulate somehow. Show him one and he will deny that it is politics at all. It must be corrupt or he will not recognize it. He has only seen dried figs. He has only thought dried thoughts. A live thought or a real idea is against the rules of his mind.”
—John Jay Chapman (1862–1933)
“Did the kiss of Mother Mary
Put that music in her face?
Yet she goes with footstep wary,
Full of earth’s old timid grace.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
