Hobo - s/t. 1975 Jugoton
Another title that came up via the CD-R revisit project.
Hobo's sole work is a commercially oriented rock album that includes
some fine violin, Moog, and piano giving it a progressive feel. The
almost seven minute 'Srebro' is the highlight, and predates what their
neighboring Igra Staklenih Perli were about to embark on, with their own
take on the early Pink Floyd psychedelic/cosmic sound. Though sadly, this is the only track of this nature found on the album. The strong presence of violin,
and the way the compositions are structured, recalls Kansas at the same
juncture. Clearly these bands were operating on a parallel mindset as
Hobo could not possibly have known of Kansas at this point in time. Good
album all around, with some quality songwriting and progressions found
within.
We have to suspect (or hope anyway) that Hobo has
some unreleased material that is far more progressive than what is found
on this LP. They are far too talented to have been satisfied with the
overall commercial approach. One can only hope a CD surfaces with
copious bonus material reflecting such.
