Review by Mellotron Storm
PROG REVIEWER

I'm not going to say a lot about this one as this man has his fans. Dezo Ursiny is from Slovakia and is a multi- instrumentalist and singer. A lot of fans point to this record as his best but I'd argue that "Pevnina Detstva" from 1978 is better. That one just suits my tastes more as he brought in the FERMATA rhythm section and it does have a jazz style overall while this 1981 release that I'm reviewing is more of a sophisticated pop record. Such a focus on vocals and short catchy tracks that are often quirky. But some inventive stuff and interesting sounds like clavinet, sax, flute and harmonica. So many catchy tunes with those unique vocals sung in his own language. No idea what he is singing about but it's fun listen that many of you would enjoy. I gave "Pevnina Detstva" a low 4 stars and this is a small step down from that one so 3.5 stars it is.
