Modr Efekt & Radim Hladk – CD

This remastered reissue of Radim Hladks 1975 instrumental album, originally recorded in 1973, presents a distinctive blend of progressive and art rock, with occasional blues roots, a touch of jazz and guitar-led compositions in many forms. Hladk is joined by the core trio of J. Kstka, V. ech and L. Semelka, with guests J. Stivn on flute and saxophone and M. Kratochvl on piano. Alongside two extended compositions and two medium-length pieces, the album includes ajovna, one of the most iconic Czech instrumental tracks, here accompanied by five additional versions from 1979 to 2011, including a previously unreleased live recording. The tracklist contains Boty, ajovna, Skldanka, Ztrty a nlezy and Hypertenze, followed by the bonus versions of ajovna.
