Dežo Ursiny, the pioneer of slovak progressive music, is originaly a documentary film-maker. He was the frontmen of a couple of slovak jazz-rock bands, mainly of The Soulmen and The Beatmen. In the summer '74 he met a slovak poet Ivan Štrpka and decided to transform his poems into songs. This decision resulted in 11 jazz-rock albums (album Modrý vrch is considered to be the best slovak album ever by many people ). It's often called "the symbol of slovak wave of big-beat" because of its cadence and avant-gardness. Ursiny was also making film soundtracks and short documentary films and influenced a lot of musicians and artists. In 1989 he became sick of cancer and recorded four more emotional albums before he died in 1995. Rest in peace.Size: 63 Mb

Thank you very much for this blog. I used to listen to this music still on vinyl that time. The Matadors (Victor Sodoma has been a great singer!) is still one of my favorites. I like Collegium Musicum as well (and many others). I think, Radim Hladik one of the most virtuoso guitar player of substantial rock. It was a good idea to leave your web-address at Prog-Not-Frog - this has been the way I am able to find You! Would you consider to include other Central / Eastern European countries' music? Poland, Hungary etc. have valuable material as well. Also, what about fusion (Jazz Q Prague, Jiri Stivin or SHQ for example). Thanks again a lot!
Sincerely yours,

This is an incredible thing! I have always thought I knew what Czechoslovak music was worth but this has missed me ... until now! Magic!!! Thanks a lot for the post.
Hi guy
i've already listened some works of Dezo Ursiny and was great, but this album is a splendor, a refined one. Strong melodic and sinfonic masterwork.
Czechoslovak progressive scene 70-90 is one of the most innovative in the world.
Every unknown gem will be much appreciated and commented
Great thanks
Thanks for the blog. Modry Vrch was my first take on Dezo Ursiny - and thus far I consider Modry Vrch to be his masterpiece (followed by Neberte Nam Princeznu - an amazing piece of work given that it's a musical for kids). I agree that this is perhaps the best Slovak album ever. PH

Did you know there is a 12 word sentence you can tell your man... that will trigger deep feelings of love and impulsive attraction for you buried inside his heart?
That's because hidden in these 12 words is a "secret signal" that fuels a man's instinct to love, treasure and care for you with his entire heart...
===> 12 Words Will Trigger A Man's Love Impulse
This instinct is so hardwired into a man's brain that it will drive him to work harder than before to love and admire you.
In fact, triggering this mighty instinct is so essential to achieving the best ever relationship with your man that once you send your man a "Secret Signal"...
...You'll immediately notice him expose his mind and heart for you in a way he never experienced before and he will recognize you as the only woman in the universe who has ever truly attracted him.
