If memory serves, "Leb i Sol 1 & 2" compilation contains almost the entire material of band's first four albums. Enough to decide whether you like the band.  ------------- Who are you and who am I to say we know the reason why... (D. Gilmour) |

Consider that, and this is strange because former YU releases and products are unknown in Italy... But perhaps it is because I have heard several times "Radio Koper/ Capodistria" and "TV Koper/ Capodistria" that in my area are receiving well... that "Nisam tvoj", "Nosim tvoj zig" and "Let u mestu" sound so familiar in my mind...!!! -------------

They did have several popular hit singles, even during their early jazz rock phase, so it is possible that you had heard them via Capodistria radio.
All 3 compilation disks you got present their best, jazz rock-ethno fusion, first phase from 1977-81, excluding their later more mainstream oriented songs.
So, basically this is the essence of Leb i sol.
FYI, they recently re-united, however without the leader/guitarist Stefanovski and amazing drummer Tavitijan, so I wonder how it will sound....?

Wonderful band. On the top 5 of jazz rock in the world, I think. Stefanovsky is a spectacular guitarist! Amazing instrumental compositions. Hope to review soon Besonacko and Sledovanje.

I think that Leb I Sol are in the podium of JR with Return To Forever and Mahavishnu Orchestra!!! -------------

Agree. If not top 5 then top 10 for sure. The language barrier and a small country of their origin prevented them to be more widely known.
I would also add important influences of one time GONG guitarist A. Holdsworth and Sanatana's solo album (with Alice Coltrane) "Illuminations"! Superb fusion that goes in line with LEB I SOL.
