DEN ZA DEN - Drugi veliki džez rok bend iz Jugoslavije i Makedonije

The 11 tracks on this Yugoslavian obscurity could easily have been outtakes from the second or third Iceberg album, the pulling together of extreme virtuosos on keys, guitar, drums, and bass to perform a pyrotechnic jazz rock of great vigor. Like Iceberg, Den Za Den were influenced by the fusion greats of the 70s like Return To Forever, Mahavishnu Orchestra, and Weather Report although the presence of Spanish melodies seem a bit unusual for a Yugoslavian group. As the album progresses, one can't help but be awestruck by the technical prowess here, particularly the drummer who literally rips and tears through the pieces as if possessed by the spirit of Billy Cobham. If you're a fan of synth and guitar solos over fluid fusion rhythms, this odd obscurity is surely worth the trouble finding.

Evo jednog lepog stranog prikaza rada ove genijalne grupe iz Makedonije i Jugoslavije kojoj se nije izgubio trag nikada medju kolekcionarima ali medju slušaocima pomena o ovoj grupi uopšte nema. Oni čak po godištu albuma prethode bilo kom izdanju grupe LEB I SOL i predstavljaju pravi mali muzički raritet. Mešavina je to progresivnog zvuka, džez roka i etno ritmova kakva se do tada nije pojavila ovde. Album ima jedanaest neverovatno "obskurnih kompozicija" što bi rekao ovaj englez iznad ali najbolje je da oni koji ovo nisu čuli poslušaju to ponovo.........
