No problem. You've been practizing some cultural imperializem with your None(t), where you played "elk calls" on your tenorski saksofon, while your friends were busy on trobenta, klavir, kitara and the kitara guy also had a trobenta in his pocket and was prepared for anything that might happen, and while the klavirs where everywhere, someone had to control it all with one of those small, handy rac unalniks, but still you could see premikajoc-i-objektis all over the stage, a guy hammering on his tolkala and another guy blowing the altovski saksofon.

Thanks Sand, that's actually more helpful than the web translator I tried.

And that speaks volumes...

Hey Nat, I didn't know you played the tenorski.

Reminds me of Normski, the late '80s house music DJ.

A Serbo-Croatian speaker could probably make sense of it, so that should widen your net.

If I had a Slovenian dictionary, I could translate it.

Knowledge of Russian is enough to understand a bit of it, and the grammar is not a problem. But there are too many unknown words for me.

"Mlajši predstavniki svobodno improvizirane glasbe" is "young representatives of the free improv style"

"None(t) noneta 9! pod vodstvom staroste Eddija Prevosta" is Nonet "Noneta 9!," under the leadership of Eddie Prevost."

"iskre ideoloških polemik ..." appears to concern being a "catalyst to ideological polemics."

Wow! How does it feel to catalyze polemics like that?

Thanks John, that helps a bit. I managed to find an e-mail address for the reviewer, and have been informed that a longer version will be sent via e-mail over the next few weeks.

"catalyst to ideological polemics." hehe. Can't wait to see what that turns into in a longer version.

I'm not shameless enough to post it myself, (Well maybe I am, but don't have the mag to hand right now), but there's a review of the CD in the July issue of the Wire, in English.
