Giuseppe Verdi - gerusalem! (I Lombardi)
Haddaway - desert prayer (The Drive)
Muse - unintended (Showbiz)
Trio Exklusiv - teguise (Trio Exklusiv)
Speedway - genie in a bottle
Virgin Steele - theme from 'the marriage of heaven and hell' (Invictus)
Arkona - po zverinym tropam (Vozrozhdenie)
Hypocrisy - never to return (The Fourth Dimension)
Enthroned - final armageddon [epilogue] (Towards The Skullthrone Of Satan)
Norther - drowning (Till Death Unites Us)
Slayer - show no mercy [live] (Live Undead)
Stygma IV - i.n.r.i. [overture to jesus christ superstar] (A History In Pain)
Persuader - escape (The Hunter)


Again 13 tracks instead of "the holy number", 14. Why? Guča, Trubači, that's why. That's the bad news. The good news is, I think I found the correct album now and tagged it :-) Yeah.

Haddaway's 'desert prayer' was really cool by the way. Go listen to it if you can find it, great verse melody. Also, Muse were great as always, but a little depressing (love, anyone?), so let's quickly move on to Trio Exklusiv: Ennio Morricone Jazz is not exactly what this is, but it sounds interesting, doesn't it? I saw them live many years ago in Villach, and they are worth checking out. Nice cover version of Christina Aguilera's first single is up next, by Speedway. You might think at first that it's a little cheap, but it totally works.

The shortest interlude ever by Virgin Steele (22 seconds, ladies and gentlemen), and Arkona rule Today (by the way, with the same song you already had recently, Sacrifi-sir). This Hypocrisy song next is for example something I would NOT give to our Bosnian angel to represent "our" music. Na-ha.

It took me longer to write about Enthroned's epilogue than it actually was (a couple of synthie waves), before Norther sound quite typical and, yes, quite cool. Then Slayer live in 1984 - oh, how good they were back then. And how diabolical Tom Araya sounds... good old times. We stay on stage with Stygma IV from Salzburg and their evident talent and end with Persuader's demo track 'escape'.

Random. Music. Rules.
