Album Notes & Community Reviews

Led by the virtuoso keyboardist Mari谩n Varga, the Slovak ensemble's eponymous debut is a towering achievement of Eastern European symphonic prog. The record masterfully integrates classical compositions, notably works by Haydn, into complex, improvisational rock structures dominated by manic Hammond organ passages.
