Progres 2 - Změna (1987)

The sixth and final album from this band from the Czech Republic.

The band was a quartet with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars, keyboards and vocals.

The band operated in the old country called Czechoslovakia.... a country now split into Slovakia and the Czech Republic. They also released all their albums from behind the iron curtain.

The music on this album is a mix of bubbly pop and some more theatrical rock. There is also a lot of power pop and post-punk here.

The vocals is pretty central to their music. The vocals is in their local language and I do not understand them. The voices are good, though.

The result is a forty-four minutes long album.

Forty-four minutes that divides this reviewer's mind. 

The music is off kilter and pretty strange. It is music that is clearly not in tune with the music released the same time from the other side of the iron curtain.

It is art-rock and the music is somewhere between decent and good. Just as this band was. 

Progres 2 is a band well worth checking out as they are a pretty unique band. 

2.5 points
