Barta Dan, Illustratosphere: Illustratosphere (Remastered) - CD

The remaster of Dan Bárta's intimate, pensive debut with a group of outstanding musicians behind him has received praise and acclaim from music writers and, above all, from listeners, and has influenced a new generation of Czech and Slovak musicians: "Few, if any, people expected him to put so much feeling and tenderness into the recording together with his bandmates. Opinions about his new musical career were divided - one group didn't know, what to do with the boldly intimate nature of the record, and mostly took a stand, that this role doesn't suit the former rocker, while group two, more numerous, was musical maturity and clarity, that the songs exuded intensely, excited.
