Yes, they were a very talented band. During this phase they were a 3-piece, much like ELP. Many countries boasted their own ELP/Nice style bands; Germany had Triumvirat, Holland had Ekseption, Italy had The Trip, and Slovakia had Collegium Musicum. My favourite album by these guys was released in 1975 and titled "Marian Varga & Collegium Musicum"...it was a partial live LP, and showcased the band as a 4-piece with the addition of Jozef Farkas on guitar...the entire LP smokes!
@drprogensteinphp Your comments about the bands always help me a lot, thank you. I like keyboard,and E.L.P.'s Tarkus is my favorite one.This tune reminds me the album.

I love keyboard dominated bands, and CM were great during this "3-piece" period.
Glad you enjoyed the video!
