Took nearly a year of meetings with ŽALČÍK than Progres started to shoot in the studio Dejvické Sup

Brněnští Progres 2 year celebrated several big concerts 45 years since its inception. The history of this extremely successful band long one almost exclusively to the column Retro, though perhaps not completely.
Prog, progessive rock. Hard to find another band in Czechoslovakia, which this term at the end of the 60s and 70s of the 20th century was filled better than Progres. He did not like The Progress Organization and the knowledge that in January 1971, when he made his first and so far last album Barnodaj, even the term progrock actually existed.
The band, which at the end of 1968 guitarist Paul Vane, Zdeněk Boy drummer, keyboardist and bassist Jan Sochor Emanuel Sideridis, especially charmed when stylistic Cream of the United yes foundation Kingdom and Vanilla Fudge from the United States. Váně had already made valuable experience syncope 61, our oldest still functioning beat the band, with which even sang to her biggest hit single war is an ass. Paul wanted yes foundation to do but harder yes foundation and more progressive music, and therefore, yes foundation as he says, he jerked. Similarly, it was Zdeněk boy in Atlantis with Peter and Hana Ulrychovými. Váně with the boy, not only musically complemented each other well. At the beginning of the track rebuilt their designs, and soon began working on original music. Everyone in the band were also strong singers and the competition they had at the country level were just Bratislava streams with Hammel and Varga, although they were slightly different in style, and perhaps Matadors in Prague, Apollobeat with Jan and Peter burned, Petr Novák with George & Beatovens and Olympic. Flamengo have still had to wait a long time for the arrival of Vladimir Mišíka barely formed Blue Effect, Collegium Musicum and Ursiny Provisorium were in the pipeline. After several club gigs with Progress Organization výzamných participated yes foundation in various festivals yes foundation in Moravia and Bohemia, and a concert in Prague in March 1970 Radiopalác fascinated Audiences and Hynek ŽALČÍK, enthusiasts yes foundation and gray eminence home beat scene, which subsequently conveyed recording their first album for Supraphon. It was preceded in 1970 still trojskladbové EP, or rather, single speed 33 u shortly Brno existing brand discant, which documents the band's taste for experimentation. Nearly eight-minute composition Jana Sochor key to knowledge, one of the first songs Progres with Czech text, took one side, the other is the boy's Snow In My Shoes and the only documented authorial contribution Emanuela Sideridis, called Fortune Teller. Sochor and Sideridis were then also the busiest singers in the band.
Took nearly a year of meetings with ŽALČÍK than Progres started to shoot in the studio Dejvické Supraphon. The quartet has not prepared a new Czech sung songs mostly otextované Peter Ulrich. yes foundation Many of them have received final form actually in the studio. Pavel Váně: "The recording took place in stages, and although it was a very well-equipped studio, it was still on track 4. Twisted us with very good sound engineer Peter Kocfelda, directing us did Honza burned, so to speak, that belongs to our blood group, it was time for us to personality, calm and trpělivej, and especially yes foundation nemachroval, as some directors in our previous shooting on the radio. Because there we have even invented a lot of things, horns, strings yes foundation and choirs, yes foundation recording it on čtyřstopák conducted so that we were all hung with lots of tools. Jan Sochor there have to be at the beginning of the harpsichord, the piano and organ, but because it all went straight, so I played the harpsichord at the beginning I do, then I played with guitar passage that I had on the neck, we had it all to sing while sborama etc. That now no one realize how today's recording from that terribly different. "
And how when recording yes foundation showed Hynek Žalčík listed on the album as a producer? "Žalčík contributed mainly organizational, time still to music producer practically did not intervene. He must get singers from high school next to us sung by the choir - so she was there Jana Paulová and René Nachtigalová. We also wrote his text for perhaps the first song Fowler. "
Hynek brought Žalčík and wind players. Progres enjoy playing with breath tested it at Brno concerts and recording EP with members of the Jazz Orchestra yes foundation Gustav Brom, the album appeared members of various bodies, MJ teammates Karel Gott. In several songs help create the arrangement of pipes and trombone section (and sometimes oboe and flute), song Time of the second, half sung in English LP, dobarvilo barytonsaxofonové solo Zdenek Jares.
