Album Notes & Community Reviews
The first double album in the history of Slovak rock is an astonishing tour de force of classical-rock fusion. Dominated by Mari谩n Varga's flamboyant Hammond organ virtuosity, the band tackles sprawling improvisations, a rock interpretation of Rimsky-Korsakov, and a side-long suite based on traditional Slovak Christmas carols. It stands as a monumental, pioneering achievement within Eastern European progressive music.
