Fermata: For Huascaran

[Sefco26]

túto platňu mám doma, geniálny zvuk 

[abovsky1]

poznám atmosféru koncertov...

[ka11bl07]

One word: phenomenal!

Gold 70´ when we had Fermata, SBB and Jazz Q in Eastern block and music helped us to live in socialist horror.

[zzfanhun]

Fedor Freso is my hero!

[ohorok2]

ten riff je tak jednoduchy ale zaroven tak fantasticky melodicky a rytmicky pozitivny ze hned mam naladu +50% =D

[drprogensteinphp]

I've been a fan of this band for many years, and still own all of their 70s/80s albums on vinyl. I'll now have to look for this DVD...great upload!

[kolumbu]

Mám moc rád tuhle písničku. Hlavně mám rád Grigláka. Myslím si taky že Preloznik hraje dobře v tyhle nahrávce... Je to vždycky těžký, když musíte být srovnáván celý život s hráčem jako je Varga, kterého také uctívám a obdivuji.

[someer13]

@kolumbu : pozor, Varga vo Fermate nehral. Povodny klavesak bol Tomáš Berka. Griglak a Freso hraju aj v skupine Collegium Musicum, tam hra Varga.

[Warr23964]

Neskonale propracovaná a krásná hudba.Myslím,že je to nejlepší slovenská kapela.

[Skyfel]

These guys are absolutely brilliant. It's a shame I haven't heard of this band before...

[brynobryno]

Pred pár dňami som bol na ich koncert v Humennom. Bolo to v takom music pabe, takže nič veľké. A mal som asi najväčšie šťastie. Celá Fermata sedela pred aj po koncerte za stolom hneď vedľa nášho. Takže prechádzali stále asi pol metra odo mňa. Nemal som odvahu sa s nimi ísť rozprávať a to dosť ľutujem, lebo neviem, či ešte príde šance byť tak blízko pri nich. Túto skladbu hrali hneď ako prvú a bol to zážitok.

[rozoli959]

it's great!

[Bobotah]

Fero Griglak ozaj ze klobuk dolu

stale svojou cestou, zanechavajuc za sebo tieto poklady

milujem ten album

[Donimika6]

najskvelejšia slovenská hudba

[Rubicius]

@Donimika6

Konvergencie nemuzes pominout. Jinak je to skvele.

[lukaszo27]

Great band!!!

[Milan1959]

Sensible expression Huascaran tragedy Czech and Slovak expedition ...

[theMarsFusion]

Que canción tan triste, pensar que el disco entero fué un tributo a la tragedia en Huascarán; 80 000 muertos, ocurrió a las "13" horas y supongo que "solidarity" es debido a la solidaridad mundial que entonces se dió a toda esa región. En verdad es triste... pero a su vez es adecuado el temperamento de la canción "todo ocurrió mientras era de dia y las aves cantaban"

[dejnaM]

Vcera som bola na fermate...Fero je uzasny

[theMarsFusion]

when the people talk about jazz/rock they speak about the mahavishunorchestra, weather report, brand x, lifetime, return to forever, even trybal tech, but don't talk about fermata, and for me this is one of the best bands or that genre.

fermata is my second fovourite group (first is mahavishnu)

[micanut48]

No offense but Fermata is a lazy version of all the above. I personally like Fermata but I understand its instrumental limitations. Keyboards, for example, are horrible, outright laughable! Drums are not anywhere near the instrumentality level this genre needs. Even Griglak has his major limitations. Lack of practicing, as we say. Plenty of talent there, just laziness and getting away with it. The only precise musician in (Czecho)Slovakia ever was Freso - that's it. In Eastern block, it was SBB.

[theMarsFusion]

no offense, cada quien sus gustos.

greets!

[micanut48]

sorry no latino for me...I speak only English, Czech, some Russian, but I refuse to speak latino - too many Mexicans where I live. Slavic or English here, please....

[Milan1959]

Na Grigláka jsem chodil na přelomu 70. a 80. let na koncerty v Brně. Pamatuju si, že to byla skvělá muzika :-)

[radiosiesta]

Slovákům to vždy hrálo na jedničku. Tohle je jeden z parádních příkladů....Fermáta je úžasná.

[JethroWisocky]

Velmi dobry, Fero !!!

Milan Jethro Wisocky, Praha

[briangriffin831]

exceptional music !!!

[Alvarez461]

Beautifull Music

[PIPIPISTA]

Good old days from the seventees when we had real music in Europe!

[SephynnXx]

Good old days in the seventees when you had real music is Europe???

The same goes for us Americans. Now we have Dream Theater, Symphony X, Tool, and .....crickets chirping.....???

I love European bands hell of alot more. Opeth, The Flower Kings, Green Carnation, Porcupine Tree, and so much prog rock still comes spewing out of your countrys across the sea from us lazy Americans who mostly pose as musicians but fail at writing anything that great in the end.....

[baheffron]

yea i cant think of any really great american prog bands, but europe, south america and canada have so many! whats up with that?

[SephynnXx]

My band Ivory Forest is on our way to changing that theory of American prog,lol. Dream Theater, Symphony X, Dimension X, and Tool are unreal American bands, but the Europeans really stepped their game up alot musically. But yeah, my band will be in there as well, I will make sure WE WILL BE HEARD....lol :)

[baheffron]

cool, good luck.

[micanut48]

you guys have some clips that I could hear somewhere? I think that too much focus has been put on a few american prog rock bands, when guys like Derek Sherinian, Planet X (lot of X's here?), Kevin Moore, Jelly Jam, Pallas, and more really talented and great music performers are really ommited here...America has a lot of prog - you just have to know where to find it. How about Spaced Out and others?

[micanut48]

OK, now you can't be serious....prog rock started in US, man. Long before it was called prog rock, american outfits have been playing it. Just try Ozric Tentacles, or Spaced Out, Ice Age( now called soulfractured, Symphony X, Dream Theater (whose IAW started the new prog rock era). How about Steve Vai, Steve Morse, Kansas, Dixie Dregs and tons of others? You are very, very wrong...

[baheffron]

Actually I would argue that prog rock started in the UK with bands like Genesis, ELP, King Crimson, and Pink Floyd. I have listened to all of the bands you listed except Ice Age, and I can say that for the most part I prefer bands from other countries. When it comes to the jazz rock side of Prog however, the US has all other countries beat hands down. Either way, its all a matter of opinion, and I can respect yours.

[micanut48]

OK, I thought you're talking about the new prog rock. Back then, it was not even called prog rock, it was called art rock. The new era of prog rock was actually started by (then) obscure band Queensryche with their "Operation Mindcrime" epic. It has nothing to do with the progressive scene of 70's, that's why I thought you are addressing 90's and up. I personally put fusion in the category of prog rock - but it depends on how much jazz elements there are. Thanks for comment

[luboSVK]

Krasa ze sa progresivna hudba ukazuje aj na SVK. Ako odchovanec Pink Floydu... tlieskam vam fermata!

[klogione]

...no ukazuje sa... asi 30 rokov už :)

[luboSVK]

ja viem :D zle som to napisal. som to myslel tak, ze aj na slovensku sa vie co je dobra hudba :D

tak som sa opravil

[vakovlk13]

nedocenena Jazzrockova bomba!!!

[Friker312]

fermata? kde tam pocujes jazz? O.o

[Slayerplsko]

Vsade, ved je to jazz fusion.

[drumstarsvk]

Na Pohode 2008 ukazali kto je doma najlepsi ;)

[palkosedivy]

Ano,na Pohode 08 boli fakt to najlepsie co sa dalo vidiet. Jednoznacne patria technicky ako aj progresivne k tomu najlepsiemu co slovenska hudobna scena ponuka

[manzanadecoco]

I looked for the Huascaran LP in Bratislava in 1983, but I couldn't find it. This is the first time I have ever heard this Fermata album. I had read an article about Czechoslovakian progressive rock in "Surface Noise" magazine, published in the United States.

[RatafakTehPlachta]

Som rád, že sa mne - ešte mladšej generácií toto podarilo zažiť, sú fakt skvelí. Ale trochu škoda, že Varga s nimi už nehráva, čo..

Collegium bola klasa..

[genialnyleos]

No, Varga, s nimi ani nikdy nehrával,takže žiadna škoda ...

[MiskoSatch]

Fero Griglak je majster gitary na Slovenskej scene urcite :)

[JimmySVK]

GENIALNE!!! Jedna z mojich najoblubenejsich skupin!!!

[romanqa162]

A co taka "Dunajska legenda" - starsia platna od Fermaty, mne osobne najmilsia, to je muzicka...

[manikoske]

mne osobne tiez :>

[zuzzzh]

DL nie je staršia.Najprv bol Huascaran,potom Dunajská legenda a potom Biela planéta

[drziltox]

awesome band!

[Tangrest]

Jedna z nejlepších kapel kterou jsem kdy slyšel.

[matchenco]

A na Slovensku :-)

[joskamates]

To by měli slyšet všichni, kdo se modli k dream theatre, aby si ti lidi uvědomili, ze se takato muzika hrala uz pred 30ti lety :-)

[RatafakTehPlachta]

Dream Theatre sú oproti Fermáte Boy-band, akurát majú lepšiu reklamu :)

[kramaka]

no to by som netvrdil. Uznavam Fermatu ako slovensku kapelu, taktiez uznavam collegium musicum. Je malo kapiel na svete, ktore sa vyrovnaju tymto nasim kapelam. Dream theater ma vsak majestatnejsie pesnicky

[dzarino21]

DT a Fermata sa nedaju moc objektivne porovnavat, je to uplne o niecom inom

[milex58]

Len netreba miešat hrušky s jablkami!

[ErRo1345]

Je nesmyslné srovnávat...

[ohorok2]

@joskamates mas pravdu.. aj ked DreamTh. uz existuju tiez peknych par rockov, ale ten spev mi tam pride vyslovene otravny, an na niektore miesta

[csuporilaci]

@joskamates podle mne se to prijemnejsia muzika ,a je to nase skupina

[eethomasf32]

Tam som bol sedel som v tretom rade :P

[nitrus747]

Ja v prvom, hehe...:)

[szabozoli]

@nitrus747 Hehe, ty si bol ten vlasáč, od ktorého som nič nevidel z druhého radu? :-D

[tulumo]
