MODRY EFEKT & RADIM HLADIK-S/T, LP, 1974, CZECHOSLOVAKIA, NWW LIST



Recorded the year after their extraordinary Nova Synteza 2 LP together with the Czechoslovak Radio Jazz Orchestra which I posted a few years back, this is an even more toe-curling venture; the first of four albums that establish Modry Efekt (aka Blue Effect) in their peak mode, a superhuman synthesis of The Yes Album, mid 70's Floyd and the ecstatic hard rockin' acid prog of early Nektar and Hungary's Omega circa Time Robber. Sourced from a long out of print reissue, this also includes two bonus cuts from the same period with more of a crunchy hard rock edge.

  2. I love this! Thanks.

    Have found a distributor who stocks the CD of this, Doug Larson Imports in New Jersey. Ships internationally I believe. Have bought from him before. Hope it's ok to link him here.

  4. Blue Effect means a state of bliss after receiving "blue book" (inability to get recruitmented)..

  5. Dear Friend,
    Hi!

    This is one of the best music I've ever heard. I already listened to (1969) Meditace & (1977) Svitanie. But I enjoyed (1974) Modrý Efekt & Radim Hladík a lot...Thanks.

    It's been a while since I checked your amazing blog. I'm glad that your blog is still active.

    I'm a serious Japanese Mini-LP collector. Your web-log really helps getting to know rare & unknown music. I'm not that much into Experimental music. But I enjoy exploring different music...and there are many masterpieces here to enjoy.

    I may not be able to buy lots of them in my short lifetime but I do appreciate You letting us listen to them.

    Wish You The Best...

    Best Regards,
