DIVERGENCIE

Divergencie has several music messages incorporated in its body: continuation of sheer ambition and talent from the 10- years old "Konvergencie" that stirred the surface of progressive rock in central Europe, updated sound, all-star vocals of Slovakian part of Czechoslovakia and conceptual topics. 80 minutes are definitely worth listening and the music should be acceptable to pop, rock and progressive rock fan with even a dose of joy for classical music and jazz music listener. The first suite "Refreny" offers a surprising jazz-rock ouverture in "Refren" with keyboard leads, guitar, bass taking solo and a plenty of good contemporary prog-rock moments.

"P.F" is a mini-suite of many sketches with beautiful angel children choir, orchestra and instrumental music not too unsimilar from P.F. 1972 on "Konvergencie". For symphonic oriented fans, this is the suite to go for.

"Musica concertante" is a classical music inspired suite.

"Sadza do obalky" is the only dinstinctively poppy part but convinces with good vocals and melodies that show emotions and will stay in your mind like worms.

I like this album better than 1977 and 1979's efforts as it is more ambitious, maybe less pompeous and testifies the development of Marian's Varga gifted craftmanship.
