Ruins Matador -The Girls Seem Happy The World Seems Dead (2005), cd



Far away from the madding world, somewhere from the depths, from ecstatic, smoky and obscure places, come the sounds and the lyrics that replenish the debut album by the Ruins Matador. MLADINA 4/5

Street matadors. The music of a neon film noir. The soundtrack of our lives. Miroslav Akrapović, DELO

Destination Tokyo and Until the End of The Day are tender, fragile and sad; Thicker that Ivory Night is founded on a fantastic bass line and a music box melody. Karlo Rafaneli, MONITOR 3.5/5

The RM music has a special illustrative ability: before our eyes we can see moving pictures, which could just as well belong to Bunuel's surrealist movies. Miha Ceglar 3.5/5

Certainly one of the most elaborate and innovative records made in Slovenia last year. Peter Cerar, Rockonnet

Čompe - Čompe (2004), cd



One of the best (and few) Slovenian bands that play ethnic music. Why Čompe? Because we are ethically and morally bound to our beloved native soil and its stones, to the spirits of our ancestors that got married, drunk and overworked in the canyons and plains of our, your and my, country, and because boiled potatoes with cottage cheese from Trenta taste so good on an empty stomach. These potatoes grow in a country where winters are long, the snows are deep and avalanches common. Our tractors don't do much and we've never heard of combined harvesters. You cannot buy potatoes like that in stores. They are scarce but precious. Anyway, it's been recorder that potatoes have already saved our ancestors from starvation once. They came across the ocean, where they were grown by Indians. They have an interesting mission to accomplish.
