Kalemegdan Disk - ROCK FROM EASTERN EUROPE

Supraphon Release Information

Twenty hits, pop rock retro ride

A compilation of recordings from the band’s most famous period, with an altered line-up still going strong. The nineteen songs on the CD are a reminder of the 1980s, when a similar sound was storming the charts around the world. Also originally from Pilsen, Turbo have cleverly and usefully combined electric guitar riffage with period keyboard synth technology into a compact sound. But that wouldn’t be enough without strong melodies and catchy choruses, accompanied by lyrics with easy-to-sing slogans.

The singer and guitarist Richard Kybic as a composer and the proven lyricist Ladislav Vostárek, not only from Katapult, offered a number of songs with clear hit ambitions. Suitably mainstream rock for the TV and radio broadcasts of the time, experiencedly sovereign in concert, including the necessary juicy multivoices, also from the point of view of a positive group of musicians whose songs are still extremely popular among fans.

You will find the best of the band’s legacy on this new selection.
