"Chor Minulych Nohou V Bruchodu "Pasaz"" sounds great early on especially the drummingĪnd electric piano.Vocals before a minute.Guitar comes to the fore 3 minutes in. Listening to this album although this isn't as fiery and there are vocals here.The vocals remind me of the singing on SBB and are the weak link. I thought of MAHAVISHNU ORCHESTRA a lot when Keyboardist from BLUE EFFECT and the drummer from JAZZ Q. This is a super-group with the sax / flute and bass player both coming from FLAMENGO, the What an incredible Jazz / Fusion album this is. This early association of Kocab and Pavlicek shows the roots of the 80's new wave legend, Prazsky Vyber. By this time the line-up was also expanded by keyboardists Michael Kocab and Jan Hala, and Jiri Tomek on percussion. Perhaps this is the reason for their ephemeral existence, yet in their measly three years they released a classic of Czech prog rock: Zrnko pisku. There was something of a personality clash between them, as Semelka wanted the band to go in a pop direction (they also sometimes played as a backup band for pop acts), while Kubik had a more prog-oriented vision. The leading figures in the band and the two main writers were Semelka and Kubik. These included keyboardist Lesek Semelka (ex-Blue Effect), saxophonist Jan Kubik (ex-Flamengo), bassist Vladimir Kulhanek (ex-Flamengo) drummer Pavel Trnavsky (Jazz Q) and the 20 year old guitar prodigy Michal Pavlicek (ex-Expanze, later Prazsky Vyber & Stromboli). In its time, Bohemia was to Czechoslovakia what UK was to the international prog scene - a supergroup formed by the cream of the crop Czech prog and fusion musicians.
