Konvergencie was a double album with four songs of about twenty minutes in lenght each, but this new release includes also some bonus tracks - rock compositions of classical music or jazzy smashes (with incorrect english lyrics). A legendary album with a legendary line-up. And a little bit of trivia - the original coverart had to be changed because of the communist regime, and so Marián Varga's cigarette had to be removed. Accidentally, it was done very amateurishly, so he looked like he "had a herpes".Size: 312 Mb

Dúfam, že sa dočkáme ;) Tento album by sa mi zišiel v lepšej kvalite.
keep up the good work.. and let us hear more from that great collegium musicum... what exactly means "will appear here VERY soon"? I'm looking forward to it, it must be awesome!
"sounds like elp and dire straits", what a mix! I'm delighted!
hey, thank you for do this very nice musik from my youth in the net!
i'm looking for the 1st and 2nd of collegium musicum - because my own lp's are very scratchy ...
greetings, andreas.
Great site! Thank you. And I used to think that Hungary was the pinnacle of jazz-rock.. I loved Collegium Musicum, great album. Looking forward to hearing Fermata.
One quick question: What do you think of Locomotive GT?

Wow! Thanks for posting Konvergencie,
I've got an original vinyl pressing I picked up about 25 years ago in a 2nd hand shop for 25 cents (it was pretty beat up, but still worth it for the Rimsky-Korsakov track alone,...which was the only reason it caught my eye in the first place.)
I always thought I'd like to hear a nice clean version of "Konvergencie" without all the nasty pops & scratches.
I agree with the ELP comparison,...although I'd also have to mention that C.M.'s heavier, more aggressive soloing tends to remind me of Deep Purple, while their lighter moments remind me a bit of Camel more than Dire Straits.
Thanks to your interesting trivia regarding the album art I dug out my ol' LPs & checked for the missing cigarette, I'd never noticed the obvious air-brush job before!
Any idea whatever happened to the band? It'd be nice to know if any of 'em of are still playing.
i am all the way over in the uk .. enjoying your blog!!! enjoying the music!!! wicked
thanks for posting this!
Please stop this "good work" immediately! Most of the releases are available on the market and you don't HELP any of the musicians by setting it for *free* on the net! If you have balls, show it by retrieving all copyrighted stuff. Eitherway, you just show that you and your community are just gelatinous stinking freaks .....
