Hey Moris, is that guy saying "pizda" or did I mishear? That's a very nasty word in Romanian. And I also heard a widely known Italian swear word, but I'm not sure about that either.

This word means the same in all Balkan languages and all other Turkish/Tartar influenced languages, Alex |

ROFLMAO!
Yes, you've heard it well. His music is full of 'pizda materina' and 'va fan culo'. Quite an uncompromising artist for the last 30 years (and 70 albums!). He is from Istria, and he's often switching between languages in mid-sentence. It's not uncommon in the area...I guess you can understand him better than 85% of Croatians |

Oh, sorry for exposing you guys to that particular word, I didn't think it was such an international item And yeah, that's the Italian swear I thought I heard. But no, except for those two expressions I didn't understand more

The linguistic diversity of the area where I live is stunning.
This is one of those languages nowadays spoken only in a few villages. Also, Alex, I'm curious to know, could you understand this?!? These villages are not far away from where I live (20 minutes by car), but unfortunately very few people here are aware of that. |

Istro-Romanians... It depends. When they speak normally, sometimes it doesn't make any sense and sounds more like Portuguese, sometimes I recognize words any even bigger portions of talk, but even then I can't figure out what they're saying overall. But when they're asked to speak clear and count or say the days of the week, it sounds almost like Romanian. Also, interesting to see that they have absolutely no problem to understand the Romanian reporter. Phoenix have done a whole piece sung in A-Romanian (but I don't know which A-Romanian dialect they chose, Istro-Romanian or another one). It can be heard on PA: Canticlu A Cucuveaualiei How are calling these guys? In many Balkan countries they're called Vlachs (Vlachos in Greece). The other sample you posted sounded a bit like Gypsy. |

They're occasionally called Vlachs, but the term is to hazy, because nowadays it can represent a dozen of various ethnic/regional groups in these parts (at least that's my impression). BTW, thanks for the link, I never bothered to check Phoenix before, it sounds really good! |

Pizda is considered as quite offensive word in Czech too. It refers to pedantic / stupid woman :-? Terusi has therefore one "EP" with two songs (Slutnja & Mjesto pod sluncem) assuming my informations is correct. Can it be considered as release then ? It sounds good (I consider a lot of things as "good", which means thousands of different adjectives). I suppose they could make a case here. What do you think ? Ibn Tup - Based on two songs from Youtube (Deda & Pasidov el kaktus), Arabic Heavy Prog ? Sadly, these songs are not of high quality (not by far), but given conditions back then, I understand. |

Janez Boncina is a legendary, crossover prog singer-songwritter from Slovenia who was started his career with that early progrock band Srce (I posted one live track by them). IMHO, Janez deserved to be at PA!
issued 1983
live recorded, i dont know the year.
As I said above, his early band Srce :

They both are on PA, and in fact are possibly most popular progressive artists from all Eastern Europe (just from different periods of time). |

OK, continuing my post from here: Bands from former Czechoslovakia Here's the reply to my reply:
Jazz Celula - really great Jazz. Unfortunately, it doesn't have too much of Rock "element", so maybe this will be a problem. Extempore - sure bet for Avant, I will prepare my suggestion soon. Prudy - still haven't listened them. However, their first album is listed under Collegium Musicum Etc (Vladimir Misik & Etc ...) - I hope he will be successful for Crossover. So far so good.
