SVITANIE

Good album, but a bit too derivative of then-current jazz-rock trends (i.e. too much Fender Rhodes and Starsky-and-Hutch funkery) and yes, the instrumental break in Svitanie is MUCH too long. But there is genuine talent here, as was evidenced by the even-better Svet Hledacu and the truly excellent farewell album, 33. Hladik is in good form - on his day, he could match Akkerman or Beck.
