The first masterpiece by the band where the compositional but mainly playing abilities by the band flourish. For the fans of dynamic instrumental progressive rock, this is the album by Modry Efekt/Blue Effect to listen to. Guitar is dominating, more than it would be on the consequent albums. You can hear influences by Focus/Finch, King Crimson, slightly perhaps Yes.
The CD "Modry Efekt & Radim Hladik" by the legendary Czech progressive rock band Modrý Efekt and virtuoso guitarist Radim Hladík is a must-have for fans of classic Eastern European rock. This album, released by Minotauro Records, showcases the band's innovative fusion of jazz, rock, and psychedelia that made them pioneers in their genre during the 1970s. The intricate guitar work of Radim Hladík stands out throughout the record, blending seamlessly with complex arrangements and atmospheric soundscapes. Modrý Efekt achieved significant acclaim in their home country and abroad for pushing musical boundaries under challenging political circumstances. Minotauro Records is renowned for its dedication to reissuing rare gems from progressive and experimental music scenes worldwide, ensuring these influential works reach new generations.
This is probably the most famous album by The Blue Effect/Modrý Efekt. This band was one of the most important Czech prog rock/jazz-rock groups of the 70's and I consider this record to be their magnum opus.
