Marián Varga & Collegium Musicum -Same (1976 Slovakia Prog Rock, Jazz-Rock)Full Album

Collegium Musicum biography Founded in Bratislava, Slovakia in 1969 - Disbanded in 1981 - Reunited thru the 90's and again in 2008 This band was active from 1971 until 1981 with six releases plus one live album. Their style is similar to Emerson Lake & Palmer, Rick Wakeman, and The Nice. There are clear Classical influences. The bands music consisted of Ludovít Nosko (vocals, guitars), Marián VARGA (keyboards), Karel Witz (guitars), Fedor Freso (bass) and Dusan Hájek (drums). Their albums contain long tracks all composed by Varga. The compositions are solid and have Classical inspirations. An example is "Hommage a J.S. Bach" or "Concerto in D" and other tracks, the guitar have much space supported by superb keyboards (Hammond organ, mini Moog, piano). I support people who think this is one of the best east Europe bands of ever. Live, released in 1975 Songs / Tracks Listing 1. Mikrokozmos 00:00 2. Nech zije clovek ~ Long live man 07:30 3.
