| Next week I'll go to Prague for holiday; I have some East European prog cds (Solaris, Fermata, Modry Efekt, Phoenix), can you recommend me something else? |

Collage (Poland) Korni Grupa/Kornelians (Czechoslovakia - I guess, so it might be your best bet) and definitely After Crying - pure Geniuosity from Hungary also Decadence from Russia, - brilliant but you might find it difficult to find ------------- carefulwiththataxe |

Korni Grupa are from Yugoslavia There is plenty of excellent prog from Yugoslavia but that wasn't an Iron Curtain country Try Tako(symphonic prog) Igra Staklenih Perli(psychedelic) Leb i Sol (ethno jazz prog rock) Drugin Nacin (folk rock) Indexi(art rock) Time(fusion prog rock) All from Yugoslavia.... But in Prague i dont think they have that...if you go to Slovenia,Croatia or Serbia you can find these fine music...

COLLEGIUM MUSEUM. Sort of like a Czech ELP - if you like one, you'll love
the other. |

Definitely Collegium Musicum - but albums recorded before 1976. Personally I think they sound like a tidied up Nice. And as somebody pointed out to me here, strictly they are now Slovac. Their keyboardist Marian Varga, apparently now does a equivalent to a modern day Mike Ratledge, i.e. advettsing jingles. |

I was just in Prague and was a bit disapointed of their selections. IF you
know a specialized music store there, maybe then, I didn't and couldn't find any. |
