Smak - Crna Dama (1977/2006) Sokoj - CD 415685

 

MP3/320/84MB
Prog Rock
Smak was a Serbian and former Yugoslav prog rock band, with strong jazz fusion and blues undertones. Smak was formed in 1971 in Kragujevac, Serbia, by guitar virtuoso Radomir Mihailović, nicknamed "Točak" ("the Wheel")... Crna dama (Black Lady) is the second studio album by the Yugoslav band Smak, released in 1977.


"There is no instrumental with scat singing on the world rock scene that is close to this. This kind of vocal performance is pure genius. These vocal commanding tones of the guitar, then the endings and all the other flexibility up to the high notes are an unsurpassed alternation in the rhythm of this perfection. And Zoran's bass is just a special story. A band that deserves years of research into every tone of every instrument in order to see and understand unity. That is SMAK. Love without borders."
