Supraphon Release Information



A reissue of the 1987 double album, a landmark recording in Czech rock history!

Following the ban on Pražský Výběr, the guitarist and composer Michal Pavlíček formed a trio (with the bassist Guma Kulhánek and the drummer Klaudius Kryšpín) for the Jazz Praha ’85 festival. It turned out that the group functioned very well and once it had been extended to include the keyboard player Vendula Kašpárková, the vocalist Bára Basiková, the permanent guest Vilém Čok and the alternating bassist Jiří Veselý, a new musical phenomenon came to life.

The present double LP contains the original combination of live and studio recordings. Stromboli proved the effectiveness of blending the echoes of jazz-rock fusion, robustly supplemented with ferocious guitar sounds, spherical, as well as almost metal rock, passages for instruments and vocals, keyboard and guitar synthesisers, supported by translated Morgenstern poems and newly written lyrics. Aladin, Já ti dávám, dávám (I Give You, Give You), Carmen, Veliké lalula (Great Lalulah), Košilela, Ivanhoe and Ó hory, ó hory (Oh Mountains, oh Mountains) are just a few of the highlights.

A quarter of a century since their first release, all the recordings have now been remastered in state-of-the-art studios. This first item in Stromboli’s discography will always remain a living testimony to clearly Czech yet internationally comparable, formally complex but comprehensible to listen to music, replete with instrumental and vocal equilibristics, as well as an undiminished intensity of impression.

Stromboli: The 1987 rock eruption whose musical flame has yet to cool down!
