Idemo dalje
Idemo dalje (Serbian Cyrillic: Ðдемо даÑе, lit. Let's Go) is the ninth studio album and second-to-last patriotic tape Baja Mali Knindža would make over the course of the war. Released at a time when there was a powershift in the war and the fall of Krajina, it is speculated that the album sold poorly due to the timing of its release. A remastered version done by Generacide was uploaded in 2020 and would subsequently be uploaded to the SuperTon official YouTube channel.

Background
The album's style, while not as disco-focused as Orkestar Pravoslavci, would still have some songs that are close in nature. The song "Ponosan Å¡to sam Srbin" is a cover that originally appeared in the NeÄo KostiÄ album Idu braÄa KrajiÅ¡nici, published the year before and written by NeÄo MitroviÄ.
Release
Idemo dalje was released in 1995, with the exact date not being known but a time window established. The songs were written at a time with very many and very fast territory changes in the war. The title track is of very happy nature and giving the tone that the war is nearly over with Serbia as the winner. He sings that Srebrenica has already fallen and that Žepa will too, giving that song a timeframe of being between the 11th of July 1995 and the 26th of July 1995. Track A4, VratiÄemo sve, already has a dramatic shift in tone as it sounds much sadder compared to the last three songs. Baja sings about territorial exchanges and that Krajina was "given away", he mentions the fall of Grahovo but also says that Knin should not give itself up. This gives VratiÄemo sve a timeframe of the 28th of July and the 5tth of August 1995. Considering the time it takes to record, produce and duplicate an album, among other things, it can safely be assumed that Idemo dalje was released sometime in August 1995. The album was possibly even rushed to be released, when taking into account the lack of a double fold, which was present on all Baja albums since 1993's Rat i mir, the pictures for the front and back of the cover being reused from shoots as early as late 1994's PobediÄe istina (hence the credit "choice of photographs" given to his wife, Meri, instead of a photographer being credited), the inclusion of a cover, Ponosan Å¡to sam Srbin, the filler song, TeÄe Drina and the overall mood change present throughout the album, with some songs being more complex than others.
The song "Ponosan Å¡to sam Srbin" would be featured on the album Srpskim radikalima two years later and the title track would be featured in the compilation The Best Off the following year. The photo used for the j-card back would be repurposed six years later for the album, Äe si legendo.
Due to the low quality cover and audio the official SuperTon channel uploaded and its remastered counterpart deriving from a third party, it is assumed that the master is currently lost or damaged. The SuperTon upload pf the remastered version adds a fade in and fade out to each song not present in the original Generacide uploads for unknown reasons.
