"Nadurveni vuglishta" ((ブルガリア語:Надървени въглища), (:nɑdərˈvɛni vəˈɡlɪʃtə)) is the fourth album by the Bulgarian rock band Hipodil, released in 1998 under the Riva Sound label, the band's fourth with the company. The name is a pun - in Bulgarian ''"Nadurveni vuglishta"'' means ''"Horny Charcoal"'', but if written separately, as in ''"Na durveni vuglishta"'', it will still sound like the first version, but the meaning will be quite different - ''"Roasted On Charcoal"''. The album was initially released on audio cassettes only and after a famous controversy (see below) was released also on a CD in 2003. Some of the tracks were included in the band's CD compilation Tu'pest in 1999. == The Controversy == This album is maybe the most scandalous one in the Bulgarian music history. Prior the album release, the lyrics of some tracks like ''"Poslednoto zemno izprazvane na kosmonavta Romanenko"'' (Cosmonaut Romanenko's Last Jerk-off on Earth), ''"Arividerci"'' and ''"Vurtianalen sex" (Virtuanal Sex)'' leaked to Bulgarian media and shocked part of the audience with their explicit, though humorous content. Bulgarian Ministry of Culture, which by law regulates Bulgarian publishing industry, speedily ()reacted and banned the release of the album on CD and was to file against the band in court for obscenity. Strangely, the ministry did not ban the audio cassette release of the album so it reached the market in that format. Much to the amazement of both fans and media, the band chose not to fully exploit the marketing opportunities this controversy created and instead kept low profile. They only allowed themselves a few vague remarks on 'censorship', 'freedom of speech' and 'bigotry' during the promo party for the album in a downtown Sofia club. Bulgarian media speculated that the band and their label behaved like that due to inappropriate legal advice, which, if true, could be qualified as a major PR flop for the band. Reportedly, ministry officials invited the band and representatives of their label to a meeting. No official information on the discussions held at this meeting was ever released to public but the ministry dropped its plans to sue the band. As expected, the controversy helped the album become Hipodil's first real commercial success though no trustworthy sales figures were ever made available to public, a common practice in Bulgarian music industry even today. In 2003, the album was released on CD with no legal consequences neither for Hipodil nor for their label. The reissue had text saying "Zabraneniyat album!" (Forbidden Album!) over the Hipodil logo. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Nadurveni vuglishta」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
