KOrnelyans is ENGLISH name for Korni grupa which they used on "Not an ordinary life" LP which has been issued nad recorded in ITALY and sung with English lyrics.

We have been dealing in Symphonic with a lot of good Yugoslavian bands, some of them have been moved to other genres like Folk because of the powerful ethnic sound that we (As a team) believe is necesary to take care of.
 
Good Symphonic bands we have a lot, but good Yugoslavian Folk bands very few.
 
In this moment in the Collaborators Section is being debated the case of Tako, great band, but to be honest they should pay royalties to Pink Floyd Wink
 
Not a clone but clearly derivative, for example "U vreci za Spavanje" is almost exact to Shine On You Crazy Diamond's" intro with extra piano.
 
Most surely will be found since next Friday or Saturday in the Psyche-Space Prog section.
 
Some time ago we had to deal with KORNI GRUPA KORNELYANS that was also in Symphonic, but after listening their music and in coordination with the Fusion Team we decided to move them to Prog Fusion, still is there.
 
Keep on with this feedback,. there's outstanding Prog in the former Yugoslavia.

As a member of this forum from Croatia which is former Yugoslavian republic I recommend all  prog rock bands from former Yugoslavia like:

1.Time:  Time 1 (1972) + Time 2 (1974)  from art to hard prog great arrangments and vocals.

2. Drugi Nacin/Nepocin - Albums Drugi Nacin (1975),  Svijet po kojem gazim(1977) under the name Nepocin.  HArd prog with flutes and high pitched vocals- 1st LP is between J.Tull, Wishbone Ash (Argus) and Deep Purple with Gillan- 2nd LP inder the different name is great Hard Prog LP with nice guitar and flutes work.

3. Yu Grupa  -1st  and 2nd - POwerul trio combination of hard  and folk rock in Balkan way.

4.Korni Grupa- 1st LP (1972), Not an ordinary life (1974), Mrtvo More (1975), 1941 (1979) .   Long tracks- complex arrangments- brilliant musicians-original approach.

5.Folk prog bands  like Trio Dag, Porodicna Manufaktura,Sedmina,  Kladivo Konj In Voda and Tomaz Pengov.

6.Many others like   heavy psych of IGRA STAKLENIH PERLI , or  BULDOZER

   DAH, IZVIR, OPUS, POP MASINA,  SMAK, TAKO and many others.

Have a nice day.

Mike

Stefanovski has been added here:
Big smile
 
Please, everyone who is familiar with his albums is more than welcome to write reviews, since I do not own any of his recordings, apart from several individual songs. Unhappy
 
Enjoy!

While I am not sure whether Stefanovski (famous lead guitar of LEB I SOL fusion folk virtuosos) solo albums belong here, since his name is on category 2 on the master list, I can add his bio and discography, if there is no objections.

For info please visit:

http://www.vlatkostefanovski.com.mk/

I'll wait a week or two for responses.

Cheers, Seyo

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
Above is an old post that so far nobodyy replied to. Please I would like your opinion cause I guess not many international people know about Vlatko. I don' t know well his solo career. Do you think it deserves to be added here and to which sub-genre (prog folk, or fusion or Prog related...?)
Thanks everyone  for advice! Ermm

Yu Beatles?Ah.

It is probably an overstatement to compare them to the Beatles, except for the huge popularity and a sort of "mania" they created across the entire country.

But, prog or not, love it or hate it, BIJELO DUGME is surely an important Yugoslavian phenomenon and true sort of reference point for all other rock music in exYU.

Nice to see a thread about Yu prog scene!

Yugoslavia was a hotbed for rock music,especialy in the early 80s with so called new wave bands with a really rich scene in entire Ex-Yu .In the 60s and 70s we saw birth of many rock bands like Indexi(the most long living band in history of rock),  but those were mainly popish(still Indexi are one of the all time best rock band in Ex-Yu,along with Time) ,commercial rock bands ,meant for everybody.It was hard to playing progressive music at that time,many groups were called progressive but few of them were it really.Altough,it is very recomanded to check bands listed on this site,a lot of uknown gems to find.My two favorites are TAKO(instrumental symphonic prog) and Igra Staklenih Perli(Psychedelic)both from Belgrade.Also i recommend Macedonian Leb i Sol and Folk Prog from Zagreb called Drugi Nacin.After the 70s prog just fell out of the scene,like everywhere else i guess.After that there were no more prog bands in Yugoslavia.Back in few months i discovered a new Belgrade Post-Rock band called Virvel ,a nice discovery!Hope they ll be added on this site soon.But its hard to survive due to the unpopularity of prog music in Serbia...
