“TAKO literally means “This way” and the name of the band symbolises the basic principle of music concept.Band didn’t want subordinate own music to demands of the mass medias, and wanted it to express feelings and musical tastes , exactly like words “this way”.”
TAKO
“He released his solo album "Zabranjeno prisluskivanje!" (Eng. "Eavesdropping Forbidden!") in 1983, following the similar music style as Tako, that is particularly influenced by Camel, Jethro Tull and Pink Floyd. He has been living in the USA working in music production.”
PROGARCHIVES
“will certainly enjoy this record, a piece loaded with orchestral arrangements, lots of organ, piano, synths and flutes. Compositions are mainly done in slow tempo with meditative, almost new age _atmosphere. This is particularly true about the best tracks on the album...which come close to the better works of Tako. (progarchives)”
