Perpetuum Fritule is the fifth album by the Croatian hip hop / rap rock band The Beat Fleet and their first live album. It was recorded at the Močvara club in Zagreb on 7 November 2009 and the album was released in July 2010.[1] It was their first release for Dallas Records label, after they left Menart Records and signed for Dallas in 2009.[1]
The album's title is a humorous pun on the musical term Perpetuum mobile (literally meaning "perpetual motion"), in which the second word is replaced by fritule (also known as "fritula" in singular), a type of traditional sweet pastry popular in Dalmatia. In line with the pun, the album cover depicts a drawing of a fritula and the CD notes include a recipe for preparing fritule.[1] This albums is TBF-s most successful album with more than 75,000 copies sold.
The album serves as a kind of greatest hits compilation recorded unplugged and was released in two versions - a double CD release with 21 tracks and a single CD version containing 13 tracks.[1] It was met with considerable critical acclaim, with Marko Podrug of Nova TV giving it 10/10,[2] D. Jagatić of T-Portal website giving it 9/10,[3] and Zlatko Gall of Slobodna Dalmacija giving it four and a half stars out of possible five.[4]
