"Tu'pest" is a greatest hits compilation of some of the most popular songs from the first four albums of the Bulgarian rock band Hipodil, released in 2000 under the Riva Sound label, the bands fifth and last release with that company. The name is a pun - from tup - Bulgarian for "dumb", and -est, the superlative suffix in English as in "the best".
The main purpose of the release was to finally offer most of the early hits by the band on a CD as Hipodil's first three albums were released on audio cassettes only. Despite the CD release however most of the tracks were hardly remastered and still sound pretty similar to the original versions.
It was also Hipodil's first appearance on CD.
As there are no singles in the classic meaning of the term and no verifiable sales or airplay charts in Bulgaria and Bulgarian record companies do not report sales figures it is also impossible to assess the commercial success of the songs in this compilation. Most of the songs however were Hipodil live favourites and undoubtedly enjoyed immense popularity among the public.
The Music
Tu'pest contains 23 tracks from the four previous Hipodil albums with band's 1993 debut Alkoholen delirium being represented by six songs (see Tracks below). Hipodil's second album Nekuf ujas, nekuf at of 1993 and S gol v rukata... from 1996 - produced five tracks each and, remarkably, the band's most successful album, the 1998 Nadurveni vuglishta - also five songs.
